Secret tapes and e-mails were released about build up to the war in Libya. They are devastating for Hillary Clinton. These documents prove that Hillary was the major force behind the decision to attack Libya and overthrow Gadhaffi. There were smarter, wiser heads in both the military and the intelligence community desperately trying to save her and the country from herself.

Trey Gowdy has requested his staff on the Select Committee on Benghazi to review the tapes. That is extremely dangerous for Hillary. Gowdy is a skilled prosecutor and he will do his homework. We could be seeing high drama in Washington in the very near future.
Obama took the position that he did not need authorization from congress. The only authorization he mentioned was from the UN. The following letter written on March 21, 2011 was not well received by either Democrats or Republicans:
This means that a lot of Democrats have a vested interest in this issue. It is not necessarily going to be easy to shove this under a rug.
No sane person would argue that Libya is better off today, because of our intervention. Neither Hillary nor Obama pretended that Gadhaffi was a threat to our national security. Obama himself described what was really at stake in Libya:
“Left unaddressed, the growing instability in Libya could ignite wider instability in the Middle East, with dangerous consequences to the national security interests of the United States.
Obama was right, he just missed the part where our intervention took a bad situation and made it worse.
