they are considering arming and training the new unity government in Libya so it can fight the spread of terrorist groups in the country and counter the smuggling of migrants to Europe.

In a joint communique following a lengthy meeting on ways to rein in chaos in Libya, the diplomats said they would support Libya’s request to be exempted from a United Nations embargo that was put in place five years ago to keep arms out of the hands of Islamist militants and rival militias locked in a power struggle.

Other parts of the embargo would be reinforced, the communique said, so that arms go only to the forces being established by the “government of national accord” that returned to Libya six weeks ago when Prime Minister Fayez Serraj arrived on a boat with his allies.

This is simply continuation of CIA & US Special Farces’ Operation Arab Spring.

They aren’t murderous psychopaths Winston, they’re lovers of Truth, Justice, and the American Way. They fight ISIS by arming ISIS. 2 + 2 = whatever Muslim Brothers Obrennan and Osatan say.

Next up Egypt, where the CIA will soon return after their previous overthrow failed to hold. The Egyptian Army had better prepare.

CIA & Special Farces & Asset ISIS on Israel’s border in the North.

CIA & Special Farces & Asset ISIS in Libya with only Egypt to overcome.

Calling Israel, look out your window...

The last time we did this, didn’t it turn out we were arming Al Queda?
