WASHINGTON — Donald Trump reversed himself on Libya again on Sunday, saying he would have authorized a “surgical” strike to kill former leader Muammar Gaddafi — after months of saying the United States would have been better off if the dictator were still alive.

“I didn’t mind surgical. And I said surgical,” Trump said in an interview on CBS’ “Face The Nation.” “You do a surgical shot and you take him out.”

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee has said throughout his campaign that he didn’t support U.S. intervention in Libya in 2011 and that he’s never said he did. He has also criticized President Barack Obama for getting involved.

“We would be so much better off if Gaddafi were in charge right now,” Trump said in February. “If these politicians went to the beach and didn’t do a thing and we had Saddam Hussein and we had Gaddafi in charge, instead of having terrorism all over the place, we’d be — at least they killed terrorists, alright?”
