The U.S. military has alerted two elite military units in Europe to be on standby if needed to respond to a deteriorating security situation in Tripoli, Fox News has learned.
In recent days both the U.S. embassy and British embassy in Libya have removed non-essential staff from their embassies.
A specialized Marine unit based in Moron, Spain, is in the process of being repositioned closer to Libya; and in Stuttgart, Germany, a special operations force assigned to AFRICOM has been placed on heightened alert.

I hope this time they will have KC-135/KC-10 Tankers available and hopefully have Aircraft Carrier Task Force steaming into the area.
Unclear with O-bozo - in - chief.
How nice..they named the town in Spain after our pResident.
I don't know if that is just the US Embassy or the UK Embassy as well... I will have to re-read.
I’m suspicious. So under Kerry they will act appropriately but not clinton?
Gee, I wonder what Valerie Jarrett will tell the infant-minded, illegal Kenyan-born alien to do. Hope she doesn’t disturb Obambi in case he’s golfing or in front of a mirror.
Why bother putting them on alert? We’ve been told repeatedly that it would take too long to get to Libya, anyway.
This action appears to be 8 months too late after the Benghazi murders on 9/11/2012.
They know they screwed up Benghazi, and now have to put on a dog and pony show
In the case of the September 11th attack, there were no demonstrations beforehand (in Libya at least -- they occurred in Egypt).
The article states that there were protests on SUNDAY... So this has been developing over several days...
If the embassy is attacked and we respond as we should, Obama is in deep poop explaining the variances in the two situations.
Jennifer Griffin is an accurate reporter.
Can’t get to Libya from Italy, what changed?
I hope this time they will have KC-135/KC-10 Tankers available and hopefully have Aircraft Carrier Task Force steaming into the area.
We need to have two Carrier Task Groups in that part of the world -- one in the Arabian Sea (just in case), and one in the Mediterrean.
The one in the Mediterrean could always take shore leave in Spain/France/Italy (provided host countries allow it).
Zero broke it and he owns it,according to Colon Powell’s spiel.Benghazi compound guarded by an Al-queda off shoot,et-all
Send in Richard Dawkins and Stephen Hawking to calm the situation with an anti-theist lecture. LOL
LOL
They can if they have a Carrier Task Group nearby or at least US Navy ships capable of Helicopter Ops.
I believe in the testimony on Wednesday, it was stated that there were no aircraft tankers available despite the fact that US fighters could be there in 2 to 3 hours from NATO bases.
The Dimwits (Democrats) muddled the hearing intentionally so that points like this did not immediately come out.
bttt
Fox might get the award winning reporter from CBS as she is quite upset with CBS over muffling her over the hearings...
