Demand comes hours after separate failed US military raid on terrorist target in Somalia

ibya has demanded an explanation for the "kidnapping" of one of its citizens by American special forces, hours after a separate US military raid on a terrorist target in Somalia ended in apparent failure and retreat.

In Tripoli the US army's Delta force seized alleged al-Qaida leader Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, known by his alias Abu Anas al-Liby and wanted for the 1998 bombings of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed more than 220 people.

The New York Times reported that Liby was being held in military custody and interrogated on board a navy ship, the USS Antonio, in the Mediterranean.

So why not the guy who is identified in the Benghazi fiasco? Why not invade and rescue our Ambassador when it was going on?

Because that individual was working for Morsi (MUslim Brotherhood). And if Obama nabbed him the MB would out Obama as a co-conspirator in the attack on the facilities in Benghazi.

Seems to me this administration now supports terrorists, especially in Syria.

We have Chicago thugs running the US government. They align themselves with one bad group and fight against the other bad groups. Similar to how they have aligned with one Mexican Drug Cartel. So some terrorists gets guns, while others get the bullets.

Yes, I agree but some in the Military are still doing their jobs... they got the guy that planned the attacks on our embassies in Kenya and that is a good thing.

Libya, we are taking out the trash that you won’t. We’re the good guys that helped you overthrow your last dictator. Remember? Be more grateful, or we’ll overthrow you too.
