    I’ll admit my knowledge on US involvement in Libya is lacking. I was a junior in high school at the time and I don’t remember hearing much about it. I’ll have to read up on it if I’m going to debate it with you. At a glance, it looks Obama would agree with you. Reestablishing the slave trade in Libya doesn’t seem to be the outcome he was hoping for. edit: typo

    • CW: Worst mistake?

      Obama: Probably failing to plan for the day after, what I think was the right thing to do, in intervening in Libya.

      From the article you just posted, I clicked the link to read what he actually said, and I read it as he expressed regret for not intervening more!

      It’s like criminals expressing regret for getting caught.
