Fact check: Is there blood on Hillary’s hands?

Here we go again, another conspiracy theory, this time from Clara Holzer. The claim that Hillary Clinton conspired in the death of Muammar Gaddafi because of his plan to promote a pan-African currency to replace the US dollar is just nonsense. Gaddafi did make such a proposal, but it was rejected by African leaders as being impractical. It was never going to happen.
Gaddafi was forced from power by a popular uprising triggered by discontent about high unemployment and his corrupt and brutal regime. Many protesters were killed by his troops, and as unrest spread, Nato forces, acting under a UN resolution, and perhaps unwisely, provided limited military support to rebel forces. However, Gaddafi was cornered and killed by rebels, not by Hillary Clinton. There was no blood on Hillary’s hands, but plenty on Gaddafi’s: that of his own people, and of many innocent British men, women and children, slaughtered by the Irish Republican Army (IRA) which received large supplies of weapons from Gaddafi.
As for the writer’s lame comment about Eric Bahrt’s Bt10 “retainer” from Hillary Clinton, well, Eric was clearly having a laugh, and Clara is obviously too dim, or too desperate, to see the joke.
