US Expresses Fears As Isis Takes Control of Northern Libyan Town Isis supporters declare Derna the first town in Libya to join Isis US believes Isis is running training camps across Libya Islamist supporters in Libya
Chris Stephen in Tunis 6 December 2014 It is a warm October evening in Derna, a small town on Libya’s north east coast, 450 miles from the capital, Tripoli.

This is the result of Obama/Hillary “Smart Power.”
No, this is what you get when you lead from behind. I prefer to call it ‘following’.
Isn’t that exactly what Barak Hussein had planned when ousting Kadafi - ISIS and the like to take control of everything?
It must have been planned - this is in no way a surprise.
Hardly unexpected though....they are on a role and with a clear agenda of what they intend to accomplish if not stopped.....obvious so far Bo’s efforts haven’t done that.
Obama’s support for the Arab spring and withdrawal of US military from Iraq are producing consistent results. It’s a shame too - freedom and stability were nice while we had them.
