US Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump said on Sunday the Middle East would be more stable if Muammar Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein were still in power in Libya and Iraq, saying it's "not even a contest."
Trump mentioned the countries in comparison to current efforts to drive Syrian President Bashar al-Assad out of power.
"You can make the case, if you look at Libya, look at what we did there, it's a mess," Trump said on NBC.
I don't like agreeing with Trump---but, when he's right, he's right.
| He's wrong. Saddam and Daffy helped create the current problem. Brutality loses in the end. Where we went wrong: we pulled out of Iraq prematurely, and we led from behind in Libya. There's a common reason why we did this. Think about it... |
