The Islamic State has expanded its presence in the failed state of Libya, and if not confronted, the terror group may be able to gain strategic territory in its quest to form an Islamic Caliphate, according to the Washington Institutes Andrew Engel. While the United States and its allies are focused on Syria and Iraq, IS (commonly referred to as ISIL or ISIS) has its eyes beyond that fight.
The report, titled The Islamic States Expansion in Libya, says Libyas ex-ambassador to the Emirates Aref Ali Nayed is worried that if Washington does not act, IS will use Libya to threaten Europe. The IS has increased its physical and media presence in the last three months. A local terrorist organization, the Islamic Youth Shura Council (IYSC), has pledged its loyalty to IS.

Absolutely correct and just sickening. Every single thing he does is to dismantle and wreck America and western civilization and to support Islam and jihad, no matter how bloody and disgusting it has to be - the ends justify the means. It is obvious every single day. Every word that hisses out of his mouth. Every decision or lack of one supports those goals. How awful that America brought this curse on herself. What a damned shame. There may be no way back from this. So much damage done, so many gains by her enemies, foreign and domestic. A great country is falling into ruin. I’m not happy at all to see this happening in my lifetime. I wouldn’t have chosen to see this.
Most of the ME states require ruthless dictators to keep them from total chaos.
Quadaffi was one of the ugliest and nastiest looking men who ever lived.
But he maintained stability.
I should think perhaps Europe would do something or is that beneath them?
Zero cleared a path for ISIS by withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq (He gave them advance notice of our plans, including a specific departure date)
He cleared a path for ISIS by removing Ghadaffi in Libya
He and Hillary were activists for Morsi and the MB in Egypt, calling for U.S. ally Mubarak's overthrow.
Zero did NOTHING to stop the coup in Yemen, DISARMED OUR MARINES and gladly retreated from our embassy there.
He bashed Christians at the Prayer Breakfast following the 'burning alive' of the Jordanian pilot by ISIS.
He released 5 Yemeni terrorists from Guantanamo ONE WEEK after Yemeni-trained terrorists attacked Paris.
WHAT MORE PROOF DO AMERICANS NEED THAT THIS PRESIDENT IS WORKING ON BEHALF OF ISIS AND OTHER ISLAMIC EXTREMIST GROUPS TO DESTROY CHRISTIANITY AND SPREAD THE CALIPHATE IN THE MIDDLE EAST???!!!!!
Wow, Libyans are so much better off since Obama got rid of Gaddafi.
Another Obama foreign policy triumph.
Imagine the hubris of espousing to undo thousands of years of history, and this among the most primitive and backward of humanity yet in a time span equivalent to a nano-moment of history, that, my fellow FReepers was all going to happen we were led to believe by the civilizing power of democracy. I was in awe of him of being no less than soon to be the greatest statesman ever but instead the Iraqi invasion turned out to be arguably, the greatest military, political blunder the world has ever known.
I remember how Saddam offered Bush a million dollars in cash not to invade. What? With every drop of oil we were going to take home with us and leave Iraq high and dry?
One haunting mantra we kept hearing over and over and over again was how removing Saddam diabolical presence would unleash a nuclear firestorm of internecine genocide and blood that would rear its ugly head to return to the way it had been since the 7th Century after the recent previous decades of relative peace and serenity.
Your broker should only be as infinitesimally as prescient as that.
The Arab Spring removed secular regimes, replacing them with Islamic ones.Destabilization leading to calipatation, jeopardizing Israel and the U.S.--
--all part of the agenda of the crypto-Islamo-Communist enemy inside the gates.
I disagree with your comments on democracy and freedom. If you believe in natural rights, you would champion the cause of freedom for everyone.
You are correct, though, that benevolent dictatorship is better than nothing.
Saddam was exactly what it takes to run Iraq. I will always have doubts about that situation.
Most of the ME has been under mohammed's curse for far too long to be changed by external force, they just dig in, freedom is inconceivable to them.
Obama and Iranian Muslim Valerie Jarrett are jumping for joy
Well, it was worth it as long as Hillary, Obama and Soros all got rich(er) stealing Qadaffi’s fortune.
“Most of the ME states require ruthless dictators to keep them from total chaos.”
This is true, because the #1 sacrament of their religion is murder.
Same here.
