More than a dozen Islamic State fighters from Iraq and Syria -- some with direct ties to the group's leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi -- are now in Libya working on behalf of the terror group, according to U.S. and European sourcesfrom other article

That is one heckuva busy dozen Islamic State fighters... are they the Islamic version of Seal Team 6?

Why can no one tell me what Obama and Clintons real purpose in Libya was?

They assassinated Gaddafi. The oil fields were turned over to God-knows-who. The Central Bank was lotted and 140 tones of gold were stolen. The place is in complete chaos, tens of thousands of civilians are being killed, and ISIS is now on the ground.

Seems the only one who can answer that question isn’t talking. Maybe we need to find his emails too.

You think ISIS is going to be more effective and produce MORE oil than before this takeover?

Ahhhhhh.....Libya. Another rousing foreign policy success for the Democrats. In a month, the Democrats will be telling everyone we have a Responsibility To Protect the opposition in Switzerland by bombing Geneva. Hide your gold, Switzerland! Hillary and Obama need some new shoes!

This JV team seems very organized, well-financed, and not afraid of anyone. Glad Obama has a handle on it.

“There’s ISIS in Libya because there’s a lack of a state, and there’s the inability of every militia group to control territory because the major factions won’t work together,” says Pack. “The absolutely only way to eliminate territorial pockets in places like Sirte and Derna is if these groups are willing to work together against ISIS.”

How long before we read something like:
“There’s Reconquistas in California because there’s a lack of a state, and there’s the inability of every counter-revolutionary militia group to control territory because the major factions won’t work together,” says former president Cruz. “The absolutely only way to eliminate territorial pockets in places like Los Angels and San Francisco is if these groups are willing to work together against the invading Reconquistas.”

I appreciate the fact that it’s futile to try and bomb these a-holes, cause they just disappear into thin air, or into the civilian populace, —— but we damn sure CAN use air strikes to prevent their financing their operations through stolen crude oil. They can’t “disappear” oil fields.

Isn’t Libya Italy’s baby? Italy should go get its oilfields.

I'm beginning to suspect that they have some ringers, and I think it should be looked into. Seems to be a lot of 11-year old Chechens who all stand over 5 foot tall, have chest-length beards and multiple wives.

There's a fix in.
