Morning Star.png Obama Blames Cameron for Libya James Tweedie, The Morning Star, London, 11 March 2016 Barack Obama took a rare swipe at David Cameron yesterday, blaming the Prime Minister for turning Libya into a "shit show." The US president placed the blame for the fallout of 2011's bombardment of Libya, during its civil war, squarely at Mr Cameron's doorstep. A rattled Mr Obama even went as far as to admit the military action, which led to Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's downfall, "didn't work." We came, we saw, he died He accused Mr Cameron of becoming "distracted" after giving the green light to air strikes and that now the country is a "mess" because it's become an Isis haven. However Mr Obama indicated Mr Cameron hurt Britain's relations with the superpower after dragging his feet over an increase in military spending. "Free riders aggravate me," Mr Obama said in the candid interview for US magazine The Atlantic, in which he argues he placed too much faith in Britain's PM and French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Mr Cameron's spokeswoman says the PM does "share" Mr Obama's assessment that there are real challenges in Libya.
