Ban Ki-moon’s report circulated Tuesday says the mission should be limited to 15 to 20 people inside the north African country while keeping a temporary base in Tunisia. The mission evacuated there from Libya last year for its safety.

Ban’s report stresses this “does not mean that the United Nations is disengaging from Libya.”

His recommendation comes as Libya’s neighbors are calling for more United Nations action on Libya amid chaos that includes two separate governments and multiple armed groups.

The Left still proclaims that Bush’s war in Iraq destabilized that country.

They are silent about Obama’s war crime in Libya where “We came, We saw, HE DIED!!!” (Gadaffi was a POW who was tortured, abused, and murdered with our assistance and approval).
