Obama Regime Condems Egypt And UAE For Libyan Bombing
2015-02-17
It's almost like he's on their side...
That's certainly one way to describe it.
The United States does not support Egyptian and Emirati airstrikes against Islamist militias in Libya because the U.S. believes the crisis in Libya must be resolved politically and without outside interference, a Department of Defense spokesman said Tuesday.

Egypt and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) carrying out airstrikes in Libya was different from U.S. airstrikes against Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant forces in Iraq, Pentagon spokesman Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby told a briefing, because the U.S. was acting in Iraq, in a €œvery targete€ manner, at the request of its government.
'That's different' - well, all righty, then! Just give them jobs, and the problem's solved! When's my tee time?

#7  What happens in LIBYA concerned EGYPT, hence Egyptian interests, sub-hence by extension US-Western interests as per Egyptian Oil + espec the SUEZ CANAL TRADE.

Perhaps more pertinent to the US, LIBYA + EGYPT is part of the US' so-called "Diamond/Diadem" Strategy in Africa as per Anti-Terror + in support of OWG AFRICAN UNION.

#6  Oh lordy,

They've been trying a political solution for four years.

When I was there you had the Government and then you had the militias that were doing as they damned well pleased and then you had Benghazi and Derna which every Moamar, Ahmed, and Ali in Libya knew was a festering fever swamp of jihadists.

Everyone wondered why the US kinda bombed the crap out of Quadaffi and then just let it drop.

#5  Egypt (well, Sisi) understands what Champ does not: when a country murders your citizens that's a causus belli for war.
