Washington tells US citizens to leave Libya
2014-05-29
[Libya Herald] The US government has advised American citizens in Libya to leave the country, citing the deteriorating security situation and threats made by krazed killer groups.

"The Department of State warns US citizens against all travel to Libya and recommends that US citizens currently in Libya depart immediately," the US government said, in the latest update to its travel advice.

"Extremist groups in Libya have made several specific threats this year against US government officials, citizens, and interests in Libya."

Due to security concerns, the US embassy in Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
had reduced its staff and was now only able to offer very limited emergency services to US citizens in Libya, the State Department said.

#3  So Bush put boots on the ground to get rid of Hussein and Champ sends a couple of F-14s and a platoon of laser painters into Libya.

Both countries descend into chaos and Bush didn't have a plan?

If we do anything in Libya of a rational nature...which actually the time has passed for such behavior, we would be inserting ourselves into a nascent civil war as the punching bag and boogie man for both sides...such action would be taken ONLY to save the election for the Dems.

A few troops in Tripoli and a few troops in Benghazi right after Qaddafi the Duck was killed would have done much to get Libya off on the right foot. The people are hungry for a rational government.

But what do you expect with an administration whose expert on the middle east is slow joe and next is Lurch?
