Clinton balked at leaving Hamptons for major Libyan meeting – ‘Oh woe’

Hillary and her gal pals were so anxious to finish off Gaddafi who after many years had come our way in getting rid of his nukes, (bad move for him) and tolerating Israel. But Hillary wasn’t happy. She wanted her Arab Spring. For a good review try Three women who brought us the new long war in Libya

Recall Hillary’s Libya Post-War Plan Was ‘Play It by Ear,’ Gates Says?

But the really important issues—the questions longstanding followers of the U.S. and NATO intervention want answered—are: Why did Hillary Clinton push for strikes that contributed to the fall of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi? And why didn’t the Obama administration bother to plan for the all-too-predictable chaos that came next?

But with this latest E-Mail we find that she couldn’t so much as give up her vacation. Hillary Clinton was not pleased that her Aug. 2011 Hamptons vacation was to be interrupted by a trip to Paris to discuss efforts to help Libya’s transitional government, emails released by the State Department on Friday show.

“Oh, woe,” Clinton lamented in an Aug. 22, 2011 email to Huma Abedin, her longtime aide. “If I have to, I will fly at night, go to mtg and fly right back — to and from Long Island. Can our plane land and takeoff from W’Hampton?”
