Jim Webb Rips Hillary For ‘Inept Leadership’ In Libya

Yeah, third-party, Jim! Go for it!

Thomas LifsonDemocrat Jim Webb mulls independent run for president
. . . "I would much rather see a Bernie Sanders independent run, which is possible given the animosity developing over DNC favoritism towards Hillary. Sanders would draw away support from Clinton’s left flank, meaning voters who have no likelihood of voting for the GOP nominee.
"Web[b] is a different story entirely.
"Webb could well draw away anti-Hillary votes from the GOP nominee. While his stinging criticism of her will help diminish her vote total, there could be people who otherwise would vote for, say, Donald Trump or Marco Rubio that would instead vote for Webb."


Daily Caller   "Former Democratic presidential candidate Jim Webb criticized Hillary Clinton’s leadership in Libya, calling it “inept” and a “failure as Secretary of State.”

Hillary Clinton should be called to account for her inept leadership that brought about the chaos in Libya, and the power vacuums that resulted in the rest of the region,” Webb wrote Saturday on Facebook.. . . “Clinton talked at this last DNC debate about her failure as Secretary of State as if she was successful,” Webb wrote in the post. “While she held that office, the U.S. spent about $2 billion backing the Libyan uprising against Qadaffi. The uprising, which was part of the Arab Spring, led directly to Qaddafi being removed from power and killed by rebel forces in 2011. Now some 2,000 ISIS terrorists have established a foothold in Libya.”

“For a Secretary of State (and a Presidential administration) this is foreign policy leadership at its worst,” he stated."  Hat tip to Weasel Zippers
If he declared an outsider presidential bid, the former Democratic candidate could have an outsize effect on the race.   . . . "In a tight race, even a small base of support could make him a factor. Ralph Nader, for instance, famously won only small percentages of the vote in many states in the 2000 presidential election, yet that arguably helped tip the Electoral College vote to then-Texas Governor George W. Bush, denying Democratic Vice President Al Gore, the winner of the popular vote, the presidency." . . . 
All you conservatives who say you will not vote next November, now you have your candidate. In Heaven's name, vote! If you hate the Republican candidate, at least vote to cancel a Hillary vote! TD
