The State Department has warned all Americans in Libya to get out of the country “immediately.”
The new travel warning stresses that “extremist groups continue to plan terrorist attacks against U.S. interests in the Middle East region, including Libya.”
“The Libyan government has not been able to build its military and police forces and improve security following the 2011 revolution. Many military-grade weapons remain in the hands of private individuals, U.S. and UN-designated terrorists, and other armed groups, including antiaircraft weapons that may be used against civilian aviation. Crime levels remain high in many parts of the country. In addition to the threat of crime, the threat of kidnapping is high and various groups have called for attacks against U.S. citizens and U.S. interests in Libya,” the warning states.

Why couldn’t have this this warning been issued about September 7, 2012? Or maybe it was, and it was ignored?
What has happened there now, that makes things so much worse today?
Inquiring minds want to know.
AFP is FUBAR. Obama, Biden, Hillary, McCain, etc., etc. Enemies within.
Good thing they got rid of Khadaffy, huh?
About three plus years to late, ain’t it.
There ought to be this law passed....that says Congress, the President, and the US military need to physically stay out of Northern Africa and the Middle East for twenty-five years. If they want to trigger chaos....do it in Central America or Canada.
What difference does it make?
But...but...we fixed Libya!
Bush had them under control before Obama.
Obama’s “legacy” will show that he brought “democracy” to Libya.
You can credit Obama/Clinton for the weapons.
Another accomplishment former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton can’t remember.
A few years too late.
Yep, deposing all those strongarm dictators was a big mistake.
Those guys kept the savages in check.
We turned a dump into a hell hole.
The U.S. led NATO into Libya to oust Khadafi and that was supposed to stabilize the country by removing the dictator. Instead, it plunged the country into disorder, chaos and a mass exodus. Another monumental foreign policy disaster by Obama.
Ah, just more benefits from Obama’s Arab spring.
Obama and Hillary created these messes...
