  1. Guess I was paying attention, 100% and I didn’t even have to study or look at a cheat sheet.

    The Gaddafi thing kind stood out to me, at least. We put pressure on him, he swayed like we wanted, and they killed him anyway. Holy crap! What the hell? So basically they just told every third world tinpot dictator that no matter what you do, no matter how much you agree with us or cooperate, we’ll still kill you to make political points back home. What a great way to screw up foreign diplomacy even more than you already did. Thank God we have the “Art of the Deal” back in office.
