Samantha Power was the primary decision maker behind Obama's interventionist entry into the Libya war. It was Power, along with Susan Rice and Hillary Clinton, who led the framework of the Libyan uprising, specifically Obama's military aid and support for [[al-Qaeda]] in [[Benghazi]].

According to the ''Harvard Law Record'' {{quotebox|The article from Harvard announcing her appointment cites her work in human rights, [[diplomacy]], and international justice as qualifications for the appointment, but a critical examination of her record as ambassador reveals a much more sordid history of promoting American [[imperialism]] and enabling the very [[human rights]] abuses she sought out to prevent.<br>
From Libya to [[Gaza]] to [[Yemen]], Samantha Power has had an active role in either promoting western intervention within the Administration or defending the [[violence]] of the U.S. and its allies. Libya made headlines recently with reports of an active slave trade occurring in the country.[2] This combined with the continued civil war and pervasive presence of the [[Islamic State]] has reminded the world of the massive chaos and instability western intervention caused in Libya,[3] and it is impossible not to put at least some blame for the current state of affairs on Samantha Power. According to mainstream media outlets, she is considered one of the key figures that pushed to launch the ultimately disastrous intervention.[4] Throughout her career, Samantha Power has been a proponent of the “responsibility to protect” or “R2P” doctrine, which has broad based principles espousing prevention of genocide and a responsibility to protect human rights, but was used by Power in the case of Libya to promote a bombing campaign and a regime change that left as many as 30,000 dead[5] and a country left to be a battleground for [[jihad]]ists and local powers.<ref>http://hlrecord.org/2018/01/take-the-power-back-samantha-power-has-no-place-at-hls/ </ref>}}
