Shorthand for a potential fiasco in general that may happen in the future, although primarily aimed at fiascoes in foreign policy action. Usually something to keep an eye on so it doesn't escalate. Refers to the celebration by Libyan gunmen after they took an "American diplomatic compound", as mentioned on HBO's "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver".
"We'd better be careful how we leave Afghanistan, or it could turn into a total Libyan pool party over there."

A Libyan celebratory tradition of shooting five bullets in the air. A knock-off of the American high five, only you can do it solo.

The civil war in Libya that took place in 2011 when the protesters demanding the resignation of the evil dictator Mommar Ghadafi & defected Libyan soldiers fought back against Ghadafi's forces that cracked down on everybody who opposed Ghadafi. Ghadafi's forces consisted of the majority of the Libyan military & several thousand foreign mercenaries filling in for the defected soldiers. The rebels consist of protesters demanding his power be removed & defected Libyan soldiers. The rebels held the eastern half of Libya & Ghadafi kept the western half of Libya.
Ghadafi's forces were far superior to the rebels & would have exterminated the rebels within a couple months if it hadn't been for the French, British, & American forces enforcing a no-fly zone over Libya. The NATO intervention consisted of British & Franch naval & air forces bombarding Ghadafi's military buildings & arsenals & American naval & air forces protecting the eastern half of Libya by bombing the Ghadafi forces over there.
Most Americans opposed the intervention in Libya because they are Ghadafi supporters who would much rather have Ghadafi stay in power than spend extra tax dollars stopping that megalomaniac.

Da group of teeth-grindingly wrathful terrorists whom Doc Brown had tricked into giving him their plutonium with the understanding that he would incorporate it into a bomb that he'd been contracted to build for them, but instead he used said radioactive material to power his totally-for-peaceful-purposes time-machine.
Doc Brown found out da hard way dat da Libyan gnashionalists did not take kindly to having their trust --- and their plutonium --- repurposed in a way they had not intended. Fortunately for Doc, he wore a bulletproof vest da second time, and so things worked out fine in da end... Doc got to power his time machine, and da terrorists didn't blow up innocent people with their "bomb" which turned out to be just a container of old parts from pinball-machines.
