Libya: Recipe for Success
The "Recipe for Success" stems from claims that "not a single US troop was on the ground... killed or injured." Obama does credit the war for the capture of Saddam Hussein, remaining "cautiously optimistic" of the Iraqis' opportunity to achieve democracy through discussion and debate, not violence.
Obama claims Gadhafi "had an opportunity during the Arab Spring to finally let loose of his grip on power and to peacefully transition into democracy. We gave him ample opportunity, and he wouldn't do it." Obama admitted to not enjoying the manner or method in which Gadhafi was executed. However, he believes it did send a strong message to global dictators on people's desire to be free with human rights respected.
