OME (Reuters) - Western countries voiced concern on Thursday that tensions in Libya could slip out of control in the absence of a functioning political system, and they urged the government and rival factions to start talking.
Two-and-a-half years after the fall of former leader Muammar Gaddafi, the oil-rich North African state is struggling to contain violence between rival forces, with Islamist militants gaining an ever-stronger grip on the south of the country.
"The situation in Libya is very worrying," French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told reporters on the margins of a conference in Rome to discuss the Libyan crisis.

I am soooo stealing that. BTT
One more reason to stay out of international fights...including Ukraine. Our military knows how to win wars - but Obama’s political monsters have no clue what to do with a win.
Personally I believe chaos is his foreign policy goal.
LOL! Dictators in Islamic nations, who don’t take Islam seriously, are in our national interests. Otherwise you end up with countries like Iran. The “Arab Spring” is nothing less than a catastrophe for our national interests.
Only Winners:
Hillary and Obama transferring MANPADS to al Qaeda.
It’s more of a porno fallacy!
Erkil is asking himself? Did I do that?
Shure enough.
Sometimes I think that the only solution in places like this is the purely military one where you ignore the political fallout and just wipe out the entire population.
Saddam knew how to keep house, lol.
I didn't see that one cripplecreek - but you're right - seems what he's doing. Don't know if it's planned or just the outcome of incompetence... time will tell. Thanks for sharing that thought. It's an insightful one.
How do I not care about thee? Let me count the ways
“Western countries alarmed as Libya slides towards chaos”
Who, pray, destabilized Libya?
No need of bloody crocodile tears from the West.
Obama and NATO’s fault.
Better to deal with the devil you know, than with the one you don’t.
Mission Accomplished...
“Two-and-a-half years after the fall of former leader Muammar Gaddafi of Libya” ...
Two-and-a-half years after the carpet-bombing of Libya by the senseless NATO ...
All they know to do is to crus to the ground plenty of countries, without thinking what to do next. They play bingo and people and their countries die.

Hadn't occurred to me but I think you are right.
Similar kind of deal with Ireland/England, IMHO.
A few more bombing runs ought to quiet them down.
Watch the Russians step in and take over where Boy Wonder had once again drop the ball.
