The United States suspended operations at its embassy in Libya 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.

No news on how well the president shot.

The last thing we’d apparently want to show is any hint of strength.

Nah, he’s the best president ever. Reagan was the worst. Just ask my idiot kinfolk.

In October, 2011, we "led from behind", conducting an unauthorized action to oust Muammar Qaddafi -- who had become a non-threat -- from office.

A year later, in September, 2012, a group we had supplied in the War for Liberation attacked our consulate and CIA annex in Benghazi. The Ambassador, one security man and two CIA contractors were killed in defense of the positions.

In July, 2014, our embassy in Libya has become untenable and the staff has been evacuated. We no longer have a presence in a country that we acted to "liberate".

Therefore, tell me, Mr. President, exactly what has your foreign policy accomplished in Libya. And at what cost in blood and treasure.

Could you also tell us what effect, if any, these developments will have on your future policy?

Which is.........what?

If you’re tired of the job, then just quit.

He needs to squeeze in a couple practice rounds before his Martha’s Vineyard vacation.

(to Henley’s “All she wants to do is dance”)

They’re firing Russian missiles
at passenger planes
And all he wants to do is golf, golf
Innocent people dead
on the ground in Ukraine
And all he wants to do is golf.

Iraq is falling
into Jihad hands
And all he wants to do is golf, golf.
Nuclear programs
In north Korea and Iran
And all he wants to do is golf.

Give mac daddy a break, as soon as he reads about it in the news paper he will form a team to look into it and will then draw a red line.

Don’t ask him, he just reads and does a poor job at that. Ask the Iranian in charge. Her agenda is clear but I want to know who is giving it to her.
