A good place to start is the Parliament report
"We see NO evidence that th UK Government carried out a proper analysis of the nature of the rebellion in Libya, strategy was founded on erroneous assumptions & an incomplete understanding of th evidence."https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Pfeil nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach unten"> https://www.salon.com/2016/09/16/u-k-parliament-report-details-how-natos-2011-war-in-libya-was-based-on-lies/">https://www.salon.com/2016/09/1...
"We see NO evidence that th UK Government carried out a proper analysis of the nature of the rebellion in Libya, strategy was founded on erroneous assumptions & an incomplete understanding of th evidence."
The summary of the report also notes that the war "was not informed by accurate intelligence." It adds, "US intelligence officials reportedly described the intervention as & #39;an intelligence-light decision.& #39;
TLDR: the destruction of Libya was based on lies from top to bottom.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Pfeil nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach unten">

The parade of corruption:
Sarkozy, Blair, and now even nice guy Trudeau have all been implicated in scandals connected to pre 2011 Libya.
They hobnobbed with Libyan officials or even G himself inside his tent at the Bab al-Aziziya compound.

As of this Tue. Sarkozy is in custody
Investigators are examining claims that Gaddafi’s regime secretly gave Sarkozy €50m overall for the 07 campaign. Such a sum would be more than double the legal campaign funding limit, which was €21m at the time.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Pfeil nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach unten"> https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/mar/20/nicolas-sarkozy-police-custody-french-president-campaign-funding-libya">https://www.theguardian.com/world/201...

Shit, this is actually last year, but you probably missed it then.
Blair is even more complicated:
On one hand you have this:
"the CIA and MI6 built relationships with Libya, the two agencies assisted Libyan spies in the kidnapping of Gaddafi’s enemies...

On one hand you have this:
"the CIA and MI6 built relationships with Libya, the two agencies assisted Libyan spies in the kidnapping of Gaddafi’s enemies...
.. Two leading figures in the Libyan opposition who had fled the country were kidnapped, one from Hong Kong, one from Thailand, and flown back to Tripoli along with their wives and children. Both men were tortured...

MI6 gave their Libyan counterparts questions for the prisoners, who, under extreme duress, led them to other Libyan dissidents in exile."
While on the other hand radical Libyan exiles leave the UK in 2011 to foment revolution.

Cameron takes over in 2010,
the next year this group has all restrictions lifted at the least, possibly hired and transported there at worst?

"Manchester had since the 1990s become a centre for a small but dangerous group of exiled Libyans belonging to anti-Gaddafi groups, such as the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, originally formed by Libyans fighting the communists in Afghanistan. "

"Asylum seekers & British-Libyan nationals in Manchester & London were menaced by Gaddafi’s agents, who were invited into the UK and permitted to operate on the streets alongside MI5"
In 2011 the sides change in an instant. Those same exiles go to war
Bizarre and duplicitous
