The United States shut down its embassy in Libya on Saturday and evacuated its diplomats to neighboring Tunisia under U.S. military escort amid a significant deterioration in security in Tripoli as fighting intensified between rival militias, the State Department said.

"Due to the ongoing violence resulting from clashes between Libyan militias in the immediate vicinity of the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, we have temporarily relocated all of our personnel out of Libya," spokeswoman Marie Harf said.

The withdrawal underscored the Obama administration's concern about the heightened risk to American diplomats abroad, particularly in Libya where memories of the deadly 2012 attack on the U.S. mission in the eastern city of Benghazi are still vivid and the political uproar over it remain fresh ahead of a new congressional investigation into the incident.

So, the miserable liberals in the media are always telling us that “if Saddam had stayed in power in Iraq, none of this would be happening. It’s Bush’s fault!”

Okay, so now that Libya is on fire, and the US Embassy had to be evacuated due to terror threats — should we blame Obama for this given that they helped oust Khaddafi? Remember Hillary’s comment: “We Came, We Saw, He Died!”? The mainstream media will NEVER connect these dots because they have their heads stuck in the sand.
