Jihadists in Benghazi are declaring themselves part of an Islamic caliphate just days after tribal warfare forced American diplomatic personnel out of Libya over fears for their safety.
As WND reported Monday, in a repudiation of the premise advanced by President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the “Arab Spring” was a democracy movement, Libya has descended into lawless chaos in which various terrorist militia, including al-Qaida, vie for power.
With most of the world focused on foreign crises like the Israel-Hamas conflict and the Russian influence in Ukraine, the State Department quietly announced the withdrawal of U.S. Embassy staff on July 26.
Barely a week later, the fate of the war-torn country appears even more bleak.
“There has been a rapid deterioration over the past couple of weeks. (Friday) in Benghazi, the Ansar al-Sharia group, which of course was involved in the attacks on our special mission compound in Benghazi, has announced an Islamic Shariah state, a portion of a caliphate. They have taken over Benghazi and declared Islamic law,” said reporter Ken Timmerman, author of “Dark Forces: The Truth About What Happened in Benghazi.”
Timmerman said the fighting between radical Islamic groups is steadily intensifying, and the conditions on the ground simply became untenable.

Obama armed the Islamic caliphate
Yes he did.
He armed the rebels (terrorists) in Syria too.
That’s not just 800 weapons at a bazaar in Niger. That’s 800 MANPADS (like Stinger missile) at a bazaar in Niger. 800.
With McCain’s help.
Don’t know why that came up like that.
With McCain’s help.
Yep. Maverick the crashing idiot was right in line with Hussein Obama.
I believe the fact that McCain is still around wasting air and harming the US proves that God is mad at us.
Why did Hillary and Obama use American taxpayer funded equipment, money, personnel and facilities to overthrow the government of Libya?
Where did Qadaffi’s fortune go?
It has always been Obama’s dream to establish a terrorist country.
I see almost all of the GOP "leadership" as proof of that.
I believe the fact that McCain is still around wasting air and harming the US proves that God is mad at us.
All I know is I wouldn’t want on a plane with Maverick the crasher. He’s been a dirtbag all his life.
Got Hope?
Obama has been working hard to advance militant Islam since the day he took office.
In 2008 it amazed me that after the events of 9/11/2001 we had enough stupid Americans to elect a man who was raised as a muslim and who was openly a supporter of radical Islam.
Sooooooooooooo TRUE!
Sooooooooooooo TRUE!
Trey Gowdy will likely wrap the underwear of both Barackus and Hillary around their head before this is over.
Regardless of our cultural and social collapse, gun running to terrorists is not yet considered a virtue in the US.
SMART POWER!!
