My new article in the Spectator! "Why I'm Never Rubio" In 2011, Rubio had just landed in the Senate, representing the state of Florida – not to be confused with the “Libyan National Liberation Army.” His first major political act was to write a letter to his Senate colleagues, urging Congress to authorize US military action explicitly aimed at removing Muammar Gaddafi. “The world is a better place when America is willing to lead,” he said. (Stirring!) Actually, Libya was already a better place in 2011 because of the Iraq War. After President Bush attacked Iraq, Gaddafi was terrified that he’d be next and promptly agreed to dismantle his nuclear and chemical warfare programs and allow international weapons inspectors unconditional access. He also paid billions of dollars to the victims of previous Libyan terrorist attacks. That was in 2003. But in 2011, the regime was still not to Rubio’s liking. Gaddafi was mean to his own people. America must act! We orchestrated a no-fly zone, air strikes and targeted bombings to destroy Gaddafi’s armed forces. As a direct result, the world became a much, MUCH worse place. When he was alive, Gaddafi made a deal with Europeans: in exchange for billions of dollars, he offered to hold back the millions of “starving and ignorant Africans” clambering to get into Europe. As soon he was gone, the floodgates opened. Sweden went from a country where rape and gun violence were virtually nonexistent to the rape and gun-crime capital of Europe. Countries like Norway, Germany and Denmark were forced to hold classes teaching refugees not to rape European girls. (“To force someone into sex is not permitted in Norway.”) The rape rate increased 350 percent in the UK, 300 percent in France and more than 150 percent across the EU. Thanks to the "refugees," social welfare programs are collapsing, anti-Semitic attacks have gone through the roof, Jews are fleeing France and Europe is about to become the next caliphate. GREAT IDEA, MARCO!
