Nitpick: It was Hillary's war. Obama was against it. He capitulated under pressure from Hillary and from France. France maintains a sort of neo-colonial control over much of western Africa to this day. They wanted Gaddafi gone because his dream of a pan-African, gold-backed currency and central investment bank to help Africa build itself up threatened their control. So, they unleashed the hordes, and Gaddafi was violently gang-raped, tortured, and mutilated on the streets for the world to see as an example not to screw with their European banking overlords.
