In what comes as the most expected geopolitical development in recent years, moments ago the United States announced that it had launched multiple airstrikes against Islamic State militants in Libya on Monday, opening a new, more persistent front against the group at the request of the United Nations-backed government, Libyan and U.S. officials said.
The strikes, which allegedly targeted an Islamic State tank and vehicles, come amid growing concerns about the group's increased threat to Europe and its ability to inspire attacks across the region. "The presidency council, as the general army commander, has made a request for direct U.S. support to carry out specific airstrikes," Serraj said. "The first strikes started today in positions in Sirte, causing major casualties."

Two years too late.................................
Lemme guess...Hillary ordered it, right?
It’s an election year ... Dems are always war mongers for an election year.
Hopefully nobody is taken in my this token move and changes their vote for November.
Libya was going just fine until we decided to “help”. NATO created this whole mess and the neocons won’t be satisfied until it’s another Iraq....complete with hundreds of billions in defense funding.
“The strikes, which allegedly targeted an Islamic State tank and vehicles”
WOW! Looks like we might have taken out a tank and a couple of Toyota pick-ups.
/S
More press on our phony “War on Terror”.
This is just sad...
We can no longer trust our government to be honest with us.
Why do I believe this is nothing but a diversion to get the people minds off the Democrats poor performing convention and Hillary’s email scandal?
This should never have been started to begin with, shipping guns through Fast and Furious to over throw other countries like Barky and Hillary did, with the help of Eric Holder and others in Barky’s cabinet, namely ValJar...
Now we are faced with more of our sons, daughters, brothers, fathers, uncles going into war, and why? Because of a failed system in our government, our voting laws and rights have been violated, we vote for who we want, and get who the NWO and globalists want...rigged system...
I hope and pray that Russia and China stay out of this until after Trump takes his Oath of Office as POTUS and we can find a solution to this mess that idiot people, and that includes John McCain and his Bagdaddi friend, can solve and save America and her people...
What happened to leading from behind and coalitions? /s
What is the legal justification for this?
Is this from a notification to congress?
Or is this just more wag the dog.
Looke like they found the Libyan whistleblower who can identify Hillary as the seller of ISIS weaponry.
Yeah, the ones who won't fork over Libyan oil to the US designated terrorist funding recipients.
This is some real theater we’re witnessing.
Hardball.
Just trying to appease those “No More War” Sanders supporters.
A whole tank?
A wasted effort of show,
where the REAL TERRORISTS were warned IN ADVANCE
by Obama and his minions.
Wait, let me take a look at the score card here, isn’t the Current Regime supposed to be on the SAME SIDE as ISIS in Libya?
Wasn’t that the whole reason the consulate outpost at Benghazi was allowed to be taken by radical Islamists, while the Current Regime stood by passively in September 2012?
And now the Current Regime says, with a straight face, that they are “attacking” ISIS. Just a pinprick, “limited force”, you understand, hardly be noticed.
Now why is it that ISIS is in Libya? Oh, yes, Hillary and Obama supported violent extremists to overthrow a leader who had become cooperative about battling terrorism in his country. But, no, that wasn’t good enough for Hill-bama, they had to defeat him to put radical terrorists in charge.
Obama committed a half a million to death and destruction for political gain.
And, he wiped the place clean of Coptic Christians only to resettle Muslims in America, leaving the others dispersed to oblivion.
He has crucified us.
