Egypt 'bombs IS [ISIS] in Libya' after beheadings video

Egypt says it has bombed Islamic State targets in Libya, hours after the group published video showing the apparent beheadings of 21 Egyptian Christians.

State TV said the dawn strikes had targeted camps, training sites and weapons storage areas.

Earlier, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said Egypt had the "right to respond" against IS.

A video emerged on Sunday showing a group wearing orange overalls being forced to the ground and decapitated.

IS militants claim to have carried out several attacks in Libya, which is in effect without a government.

"Egypt reserves the right to respond at the proper time and in the appropriate style in retaliation against those inhuman criminal killers," President Sisi said.

"Egypt and the whole world are in a fierce battle with extremist groups carrying extremist ideology and sharing the same goals."

The kidnapped Egyptian workers, all Coptic Christians, were seized in December and January from the coastal town of Sirte in eastern Libya, under the control of Islamist groups.

Obama won’t be happy about this....

After all, we went to an illegal and undeclared war, and killed around 10-15,000 Libyans, to be the Air Force for the Head-Choppers.

(And where were all of our “Anti-War Left” while this was going on??)

If Egypt can find the “camps, training sites and weapons storage areas,” why can’t the United States? What are we waiting for?

Good for Egypt ... and in them standing up for their “Christian” countrymen. That’s amazing in and of itself!

Note a pattern here.

Hezbollah kills Israeli soldiers, Israel immediately bombs them.

ISIS beheads the Jordanian pilot, Jordan immediately bombs ISIS.

ISIS beheads Egyptian Copts, Egypt immediately bombs ISIS.

ISIS beheads Americans, America debates, anguishes over new “red lines” and then, only after other pussy countries like France bomb the hell out of the Islamcists, Obama responds but not really, half committed.

I know two Christian men from Egypt. They think that President Sisi is the greatest. Their sister lives in Cairo and they talk to her once a week. They told me that Sisi will “get those bastards”.
Their opinion of Obama is very low and they tell me that the Egyptians feel as they do.

Yeah, the Egyptians know that Obama tried to destroy their country with the Muslim Brotherhood. AND ... Obama is still trying to do that to Egypt, today, with the Muslim Brotherhood, in helping them get back in control of the country. They should hate Obama over there in Egypt!

In ISIS controlled Libyan city of ‘Derna’, where SISI just nailed them, the local football stadium is used for public executions. According to CNN.

..."Good for Egypt ... and in them standing up for their “Christian” countrymen. That’s amazing in and of itself!"....

Derna's where ISIS is concentrated...

Egypt plays out well with Isreal in the scriptures at end times......they are also aligning with Jordon and Israel to fight ISIS. They've been meeting secretly "without" Obama's administrations imput whatsoever.

Looks like the world is moving along without Obama... and they need to since he's not going to do more then drift through his last months , except to do more damage here.
