Perry Said The United States “Should Work Closely With Libya To Ensure The Transition Is Successful” And “Take An Active Role In Ensuring The Security Of Any Remaining Stockpiles Of Qaddafi’s Weapons.” “Gov. Rick Perry today released the following statement on the death of Muammar el-Qaddafi: ‘The death of Muammar el-Qaddafi is good news for the people of Libya. It should bring the end of conflict there, and help them move closer to elections and a real democracy. The United States should work closely with Libya to ensure the transition is successful, and that a stable, peaceful nation emerges. The U.S. must also take an active role in ensuring the security of any remaining stockpiles of Qaddafi’s weapons. These weapons pose a real danger to the United States and our allies, and we cannot help secure them through simple observation.’” [Perry Press Release, 10/21/11]  Los Angeles Times: Perry “Seemed To Be Calling For Some Sort Of American Boots On The Ground.” “Texas Gov. Rick Perry, on the other hand, seemed to be calling for some sort of American boots on the ground. ‘The U.S. must also take an active role in ensuring the security of any remaining stockpiles of Kadafi’s weapons,’ Perry said in a statement. ‘These weapons pose a real danger to the United States and our allies, and we cannot help secure them through simple observation.’” [Los Angeles Times, 10/20/11]  Perry Made No Mention Of “President Obama Or The Role Of The U.S. Military.” “But Huntsman and Perry’s statements shared one thing in common: no mention of President Obama or the role of the U.S. military.” [Los Angeles Times, 10/20/11] Jindal Bobby Jindal Blamed The Obama Administration’s Policies For “More Bombing In Libya.” “The Republican governor blamed the administration's policies, particularly its failure to keep a residual military force in Iraq, for the current multi-continent international crisis. ‘It has brought us the rise of ISIS and the capture of Mosul, Russia's expansion and invasion in Crimea and Ukraine, new heights of crisis in the Middle East and Israel, genocide and destruction of religious minorities in Iraq, more Chinese aggression and conflict in the South China Sea, more bombing in Libya, more saber rattling from North Korea, a dangerous trend of anti-Semitism, and a refugee crisis on our own border,’ Jindal said.” [The Times-Picayune, 10/6/14] Bobby Jindal Argued That Putin Felt Emboldened To Take Crimea From Ukraine Because Of Obama’s Foreign Policy Including His Handling Of The Attack On The Embassy In Libya. “The governor argued that Russian President Vladimir Putin felt emboldened to take Crimea from Ukraine because of Obama’s foreign policy. ‘This goes back to 2009 when we withdrew the missile interceptors out of Poland [and] when we didn’t let Georgia quickly join the NATO,’ he said. ‘This goes back to the reset with Russia … to drawing the line in the sand that had no consequence … to the response to what happened to the embassy in Libya.’” [Politico, 6/14/14] Bobby Jindal Criticized The Obama Administration Including The Bergdahl Prisoner Exchange And Benghazi And Implied We Were Witnessing The Most Radically, Extremely Liberal, Ideological And Incompetent President Of Our Lifetime. “Jindal used humor in criticizing the Obama administration on several fronts, referencing the Bergdahl prisoner exchange and the deadly attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya. ‘Are we witnessing right now the most radically, extremely liberal, ideological president of our entire lifetime right here in the United States of America, or are we witnessing the most incompetent president of the United States of America in the history of our lifetimes? You know, it is a difficult question,’ he said. ‘I've thought long and hard about it.
