As his presidential term is coming to a closure, US president Obama seems to be making some confessions. In his interview to the Fox news yesterday, Obama has admitted his worst mistake during the Presidency. According to him, leaving Libya in a mess after toppling down the regime of Gadhafi was his worst mistake. US along with other nations in NATO have intervened in the civil war of Libya during 2011. In that war, NATO has supported the rebels who were fighting against the regime of Gadhafi.
With such intervention, the forces of Gadhafi got defeated and rebels took the charge over Libya. Gadhafi was shot dead by the rival forces in October that year. Though NATO has achieved the target of toppling Gadhafi, they have left the country in a political turmoil. Libya has remained in chaos since then, with numerous rival groups fighting for power. Looking at the situation, Obama certainly feels that NATO should have induced political stability before leaving the scene.
