Mr Cameron, he said, became "distracted by a range of other things". He also criticised former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, saying he had tried to claim the spotlight.
The former French president, he said, "wanted to trumpet the flights he was taking in the air campaign, despite the fact that we had wiped out all the air defences and essentially set up the entire infrastructure" for the intervention.
President Obama said the intervention "averted large-scale civilian casualties (and) prevented what almost surely would have been a prolonged and bloody civil conflict". But he added: "And despite all that, Libya is a mess."
He also criticised what he called "free riders" in the interview, saying European and Gulf countries were calling for action against Gaddafi, adding: "But what has been a habit over the last several decades in these circumstances is people pushing us to act but then showing an unwillingness to put any skin in the game."

BTW, it turns out, the reports of Gaddafi murdering and slaughtering his people were false...a story planted by our, "allies," the rebels, to get us involved.
So what is Obama saying? "Hey, we took out their defenses, bombed their armed forces, and supplied weapons to the rebels, who then used them to open up a civil war with tens of thousands of casualties, and opened up the spigot of refugees, but it is Europe's fault that things didn't go well?"
And WTF does Obama mean that our actions prevented civilian casualties and a long drawn out conflict?
the civil war has been going on for 5 years...with no end in sight. Is Obomba getting any updates on Libya these days? Wow.
WHAT?
