Good thing Hillary improved Libya SO MUCH, right?

Oh, sure, she’s a GENIUS!

Well, the communique is out; question now is how badly are the Dem’s going to F this up for us long term. Zero has been doing a bang up job destabilizing countries for AQ use and with the last couple SOS’, it seems that loss of life is assured; decidedly against American citizens.

Who in their right mind would still voluntarily be there? Maybe we’re talking about wanna-be insurgents. If there are archeologists or explorers, then, game over, get the hell out. Otherwise, when you get captured and start sending over forced confessions read from cue cards, do not expect America to magically appear and save you from your folly.

I think Hillary should be forced to set up her campaign headquarters in Libya.

Official Statement

The Department of State warns U.S. citizens against all travel to Libya and recommends that U.S. citizens currently in Libya depart immediately. Due to security concerns, the Department of State has limited staffing at Embassy Tripoli and is only able to offer very limited emergency services to U.S. citizens in Libya. This Travel Warning supersedes the Travel Warning issued on December 12, 2013.

The security situation in Libya remains unpredictable and unstable. The Libyan government has not been able to adequately build its military and police forces and improve security following the 2011 revolution. Many military-grade weapons remain in the hands of private individuals, including antiaircraft weapons that may be used against civilian aviation. Crime levels remain high in many parts of the country. In addition to the threat of crime, various groups have called for attacks against U.S. citizens and U.S. interests in Libya. Extremist groups in Libya have made several specific threats this year against U.S. government officials, citizens, and interests in Libya. Because of the presumption that foreigners, especially U.S. citizens, in Libya may be associated with the U.S. government or U.S. NGOs, travelers should be aware that they may be targeted for kidnapping, violent attacks, or death. U.S. citizens currently in Libya should exercise extreme caution and depart immediately. ...
