For the first time, elite U.S. Special Operations troops are directly helping fighters combat against ISIS in Libya with on-site support, The Washington Post reported on Tuesday, citing U.S. and Libyan officials.
A small group of U.S. Special Operations forces are operating together with UK troops in Sirte, a city on the Libyan coast and ISIS’ de facto capital in North Africa. The role of the U.S. troops is limited to backing forces loyal to Libya’s unity Government of National Accord (GNA), The Post noted, quoting U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Last week, the U.S. launched precision air strikes against targets of ISIS in its stronghold Sirte in order to back the efforts of GNA-affiliated troops to defeat ISIS in the city.

Shall we call this “Hillary’s War?” Why, it was her idea to help over throw Quaddify, that led to Benghazi and now this.
why does this make me thing they are fighting right along with obamas bff’s isil?
thing=think
This is such a joke. HILLARY CAUSED THE PROBLEM!! Now we as a nation have to do what? What is the mission? Nation building so hillary and sid bloomenthal can make money? God what cluster ( you know what)
There will be total carnage here if she gets the prez gig.
Does Congress know?
Did Congress authorize?
So ISIS will use US weapons we provided them to now kill our Special Ops folks. What a cluster f*** !
Oh great.
More choosing which brand of Muslim we want to support.
There is no “our side”. This is a religious civil war between Sunni and Shia (and multiple offshoot sects).
Was it Hillary's idea? I thought the overthrow of Eqypt, Libya and Syria was ValJar's idea.
ISIS in Libya is AQ rebranded.
0bama/H3llary sent US troops to fight alongside the ‘kinder, gentler Al Qaeda’ under H3llary as SOS.
Why did I just have deja vu and a chill go up and down my back.
Was it because JFK got our spec ops involved in Viet Nam and ? around Viet Nam.
Then, there was the staging of the Gulf of Tonkin event which enabled LBJ to get us involved in a land war in Asia.
Did Clinton, Obama and later Kerry just do the same as in Viet Nam in Libya?
No
And no
Next question.
Of course. Have to make sure that the oil production rights stay in the right corporate pockets. After all they paid to play. So our kids can be fodder.
To bad we couldn’t support all sides of any middle east conflict and then encourage them to kill each other.
The NWO puke banksters needed to get rid of Qaddafi for a similar reason they got rid of JFK, they were about to lose control of the petrol dollar. Qaddafi was hording gold bullion in his plan to create and back with gold a new currency that Libya and its surrounding oil producing states would use instead of the US dollar. Rothschild, Rockefeller and the other hand full of the wealthiest people on earth couldn’t have that so as usual, the American government got involved. As the hag said; we came, we saw and Qaddafi died.
Is that the same ISIS that arrived when Clinton and Obama had Khaddafi assassinated and turned the country on its head?
It may have been ValJar’s suggestion, but I recall Hillary playing it up as her own idea.
I think that is right particularly if they steal the election like I know they will. How can a legitimate court rule that a person need not identify themselves to vote. What do we do, just walk up and say “Gimmie a ballot?” We are on the edge of quite a breakup.
