When she was Secretary of State, Hillary famously quipped "We came, we saw, he died" [0] in regards to former Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi. He was sodomized with a bayonet and executed in the street [1] by US-backed rebels after Hillary convinced President Obama to bomb Libya [2].
On a side note: the US bombing of Libya, and Hillary's remark in particular, is seen by some as a watershed moment in North Korea's pursuit of nuclear weapons [3]. In response to international pressure, Gaddafi suspended Libya's nuclear weapons program in 2003. The subsequent US/NATO bombing of Libya and Gaddafi's brutal death supposedly convinced the Kims that if they ever gave up their nukes, they'd be vulnerable to the same type of foreign intervention and overthrow.
