Egypt 'bombs IS [ISIS] in Libya' after beheadings video
BBC ^ | 16 February 2015 Last updated at 06:34 GMT | BBC

Egypt says it has bombed Islamic State targets in Libya, hours after the group published video showing the apparent beheadings of 21 Egyptian Christians.

State TV said the dawn strikes had targeted camps, training sites and weapons storage areas.

Earlier, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said Egypt had the "right to respond" against IS.

A video emerged on Sunday showing a group wearing orange overalls being forced to the ground and decapitated.

IS militants claim to have carried out several attacks in Libya, which is in effect without a government.

"Egypt reserves the right to respond at the proper time and in the appropriate style in retaliation against those inhuman criminal killers," President Sisi said.

"Egypt and the whole world are in a fierce battle with extremist groups carrying extremist ideology and sharing the same goals."

The kidnapped Egyptian workers, all Coptic Christians, were seized in December and January from the coastal town of Sirte in eastern Libya, under the control of Islamist groups.

I think I have more faith in the American people to affect change once again. History is filled with pendulum swings, left to right, right to left. I believe that once the chickens come home to roost (like what we are seeing now in Europe), terror hit and runs, not necessarily another 9/11, the people will rise to the occasion. Conservative goovernance is coming, it must or we are doomed. The real question is, how much damage must be inflicted on America and her allies before they unite in common cause?
Barry must go and things must be fixed and that will only happen in 2017, may we live that long.

A great majority of the population is in the tank for the left. Is what you are forgetting. If revolt has not happened yet, it’s not going to. The entire world has entered into stupidity, idiocracy, and delusion. It is neigh impossible to stop this now. I do hope you’re right, but what I have seen today causes me great fear. Either way, America will never be the same.

You're right, we are in dramatic change for the worse at some point however, we will be attacked again, either via little pockets of sleeper cells as we are seeing in Europe or a massive attack similar to 9/11. It is inevitable because we are not carpet bombing ISIL/ISIS/Hizbollah/HAMAS/Islamic Jihad and a myriad of other nut case groups. That means they will make battlefield gains, consolidate and then begin attack us. This is the law of the jungle. At some point we will be hit again and maybe, just maybe, we will unite to destroy them.

I am filled with great fear when I see a US so-called leader attacking our ONLY TRUE, reliable, stable, Democratic, Liberal, Capitalistic, Free society in that entire cesspool that is the Middle East...Israel.

>>Egypt plays out well with Israel in the scriptures at end times<

I've studied lots of prophecies regarding the end times, but never really focused on Egypt. Thanx for the prompt. Sounds like The Muzzie Brotherhood and or ISIL.

A second and more chilling prophecy lies in the “cruel master and fierce king” that will rule over them. This future dictator will be the antichrist. Daniel records that the antichrist will invade not only Egypt, but the entire Middle East during the Tribulation.

“He will invade many countries and sweep through them like a flood. He will also invade the Beautiful Land. Many countries will fall, but Edom, Moab and the leaders of Ammon will be delivered from his hand. He will extend his power over many countries; Egypt will not escape” (Daniel 11:40b-42).

It is Egypt (the king of the South in Daniel) along with Syria (the king of the North) who rise up against the antichrist during the Tribulation. The rebellion is met with swift destruction as the antichrist usurps control over Egypt. Additionally, Isaiah 19 prophesies that Egypt will undergo serious environmental disasters. Yet in the end, Egypt will become a land of believers again.

Now now. It just won't do to have a Nobel Peace Prize winner (before taking office, just on his campaign promises)going around blowing shit up and ordering troops around and such.

Judge Jeannine really rocked the airwaves a few weeks ago when she said we needed to go after the terrorists and kill them.

How disgraceful that a retired judge can tell it better than virtually every politician in Washington DC.

It does not fit his “image” and he has to play the Great Healer of all humanity thing.
It is coming though.

I wonder what he thinks when he sees effigies of himself being burned by his fellow Muslims?

That is likely true.

However, I often wonder just how much is image and how much is just plain ignorant of reality.

Ignorant of how things like this work.

Ignorant of history, ignorant of the entire muslim vs the rest of the world, because of where and how he was sauteed in the muslim faith prior to usurping the presidency.

With help, I might add, from treasonous bastards in power.

I used to think it was inexperience, hubris, ignorance, error, unqualified for the job, etc. I now believe all that we are witnessing is intentional and more or less planned. I never wanted to believe what I just wrote but being objective, we see a pattern and a drive to push this agenda. What else could it be? AT first I thought the President was just green and made errors but in retrospect, it looks sinister, very sinister...

Indeed.

His handlers definitely are sinister. Him? Not sure. He could be sinister, or simply inept, and a bungler, but a figurehead nevertheless.

Getting a Jihadi as head of state might even make libs balk.

But a clean and articulate black man? I mean, what's not to like!

Egyptian bombing of the bastards in Libya must be followed by an armored invasion. Eventually, videos of captured beards being executed by firing squads should be publicized.

Algeria should get off their butts and invade from the west. In less than a month, Libya’s Islamic State should be defeated. The ISIS fighters and any other cowards who hide and run away should be captured and executed with their families, if they have any. It’s hard for me to say this, but the world doesn’t need to deal with feral animals AGAIN, a decade later.

ERADICATION SHOULD BE THE GOAL, anything less is considered “weakness” by the seventh century enemy.

Next, with other small Arab armies, Yemen, Syria and western Iraq should get their turn.

0b0z0 won’t rearm Egypt or supply ammo and spare parts. No wonder, Sisi made a deal with France to purchase 24 Rafale jets. Maybe he should have imported guillotines to complement the new French equipment and replace Egyptian firing squads.

It’s a given that 0b0z0 will protect the Moslem Brotherhood at any cost. He said as much in one of his “books” that were written by the 60s Weather Underground terrorist, Bill Ayers.

Today; CHOICE will kill ~ 3,300 future American citizens.

Tomorrow; CHOICE will kill ~ 3,300 future American citizens.

Wednesday; CHOICE will kill ~ 3,300 future American citizens.
