I doubt it. Egypt is in no position to launch an expensive foreign war. The economy is still in the sewer, and he has enough to worry about with the Sinai peninsula where terrorism is thriving

Italy is getting nervous now...

Italy Fears ISIS Invasion From Libya As ISIS makes inroads into Libya, officials in Rome are panicking about an Islamic State just across the sea—but have no idea how to combat the crisis.

It takes time to organize an attack, even when you know what the target is.....................

Hillary is going to be eviscerated in the upcoming campaign.

It’s going to be a great thing to see her crash and burn.

I was thinking about the mess of the middle east and what the next president will inherent. What can be done? I think the strategy will have to be Churhillian. The President will need to reestablished creditability with the American People and the world. This will have to be done by attacking the soft underbelly of IS.

First- Next POTUS should degrade heavily Boko Haram and let Nigeria establish governance in the Borno Region. This could be done with Fixed wing and then Air Calvary. Next, IS must be driven out of North Africa. This would be heavy support based in Egypt and working with Al-sisi.

Fox/Ed Henry is reporting as breaking news, dozens of Iraqis (as many as 45) burned alive by ISIS militants in the last couple of hours, some may have been Iraqi security forces.

We had people on the ground in Benghazi, and coordination would not have been a big problem.

I doubt we have any there in Libya now................

At some point, the west will either have to go ‘All In’ or pull out completely, leaving the people to their fate.
Iran doesn’t want ISIS in control, because THEY want to be the Big Dog on the porch...........

Since Obama has been releasing terrorists, every terrorist attack belongs to the Democrat Party.

ISIS is trying to induce an Egyptioan invasion? I hope, if Sisi does it he takes his time and plans it properly.

That woman just looks stupid. Maybe because I know in advance that she is.

I get all that, but it is so frustrating. Actually, I am ashamed to be an American that is being forced to standby while other human beings are being tortured, beheaded and burned alive. That is not what this country is about.

“Egypt needs to invade eastern Libya”

China would gladly finance the operation. They’d probably pay for taking all of Libya. Would be a good deal all around.
Well, except for us.

Oliver North told Greta Van Susteren tonight that the Egyptian government asked the US for information on ISIS targets in Libya yesterday after ISIS beheaded 21 Christians. But, the Obama Administration refused the request. The Obama administration also refused to give Jordan information on ISIS targets in Syria after their pilot was burned alive in a cage.

“President El Sisi asked for American intelligence targeting intelligence before today’s strikes and didn’t get it. King Abdullah of Jordan asked for Intelligence data on targets to respond to the murder of a Jordanian aircraft pilot. The Kurds are begging for arms and ammo from the United States, not one bullet has been delivered by the United States.”

Good idea, they could do job interviews.
