(CNSNews.com) - President Obama said on Tuesday the United States military is helping Libya's fledgling government get rid of Islamic State terrorists who have established a stronghold in the city of Sirte because it's in U.S. national security interests.
"And at the request of that (Libyan) government, after they had already made significant progress against ISIL and had essentially pushed ISIL into a very confined area in and around Sirte, it is in America's national security interests in our fight against ISIL to make sure that they're able to finish the job," Obama said.
"And so we're working in partnership with them to assure that ISIL does not get a stronghold in Libya, even as a long process begins to establish a strong government and security system there.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
It was in America’s national interest to let Gadaffi stay in power in the first place....
He was kind of amusing when he came to the U.N. anyways with all of his hot chick bodyguards. At least he was a dictator who provided humorous interlude...
That Obama, he’s such a joker!
He destabilized Libya in the first place and then created ISIS. He’s a funny boy.
So he created it and now wants to sacrifice our men and women to fight it? How about sending HIS ass over there?
NO!!! WE ARE NOT GETTING INTO ANOTHER WAR SO YOU CAN HELP HILLARY WIN THE WHITE HOUSE AND THAT IS ALL THIS IS OVER!!!
This POS idiot Muslim, and everything Laz says he is, is ruining our Country PEOPLE!!! WAKE UP!!!
Did ISIL exist in Libya prior to the 2011 intervention?
Then....it must have been a stupid mistake to allow them to take it....right? Or am I overreaching liberal logic?
National security? Pffft! Who is obama really fighting? Not isis. Not once time has he ever been on the correct side. Why would he start now?
We wouldn’t be in this predicament if Hitlery hadn’t screwed it all up.
Another illegal war fighting for more of Obammy’s terrorist Moslem friends . And yet another excuse to give more of our weapons to the enemy. As usual, the sold out GO-PEE -e congress will not impeach. Not use its power of the purse to stop him. Not hold any investigative hearings. Not question it. Just protect the entry in our WH And enable his anti- American, pro- Islamonazi agenda.the traitorous Gop-e is destroying usa’s future
Gonna run some more guns????
[[Obama: ‘It’s in America’s National Security Interests’ to Help Libya Defeat ISIL ]]
Translated as : I am going to arm Libya and lie to you while I do it.
Make you wonder who is propping up the sham called Obama
Congratulations Obama/Hillary you have totally destroyed Libya and most Syria plus tens of thousands of lives
If øbama says it, it’s a lie.
His oldest daughter is 18. She is military age. His position regarding the armed forces is that women can serve in combat.
Mr. 0bama, send your daughter over there to fight ISIS before you ask anyone else to send their children.
Whenever the President decides something is in the national security interest of the United States, he can make war.
Anybody who has actually read the Constitution would know that.
