Thirty-five Egyptian workers were rounded up by terrorists after the Egyptian airstrikes. The Libya Herald reported:

There are reports that at least 35 Egyptians have been kidnapped in what appears to be a round-up at various locations in areas controlled by Ansar Al-Sharia and IS.

The Libya Herald has been told that starting this morning, in the wake of the attack on Derna by warplanes from Egypt, Egyptian nationals, many of them it seems farm workers, have been picked up by gunmen. The first reports were that seven men had been seized, but by mid-afternoon, it was being said that at least 35 had been reported missing.

ISIS reportedly took 23 Egyptians hostage.

Pol Pot in Cambodia, Idi Amin in Uganda, scores of Latin American and African dictators, all did the same things and we didn’t do anything to stop them. The only real difference now is the carnage is on the Internet and TV news for all to see.................

Maybe it is time for Egypt to annex Libya. They could give Qaddafi’s tribe a mandate to rule part of it in return for their cooperation.

SISI: Now that sounds like a old fashioned name for a Pharoah of old who wouldn’t tolerate such an attack on his subjects!

(on the other hand Sisi is “isis” backwards...just a coincidence I “hope”)

I predict we’ll see Egyptian tanks in Tripoli before the end of the year.

“President El Sisi asked for American intelligence targeting intelligence before today’s strikes and didn’t get it. King Abdullah of Jordan asked for Intelligence data on targets to respond to the murder of a Jordanian aircraft pilot. The Kurds are begging for arms and ammo from the United States, not one bullet has been delivered by the United States.”

Strange isn't it? It would be a political plus and the monetary cost would be less than peanuts.

Egypt is, I believe, the most populous Middle Eastern country, and it is in an economic slump since the terrorism wave cut off most tourism funding. Add in a military that took over the government and thus needs something to further legitimize its rule and keep a hungry population from revolting.

Libya. It rings a bell. Maybe Obama can tell me about this ‘Libya’

Libya? Isn't that an Arab Spring Success Story?

Unbelievable. Billy Carter, during his worst behavior of schmoozing with the Libyans while gulping down Billy Beer, could have probably provided more useful help than Obama. And I hate to say it, but Brother Jimmy is starting to not look so bad in retrospect. Not good, mind you, but not quite so incompetent. Obama is giving him a run for his money in that respect.

The problem is the TRAITOR in the White House, and the Muslim brotherhood in DC operating under Obama and Jarrett. We need a military coup to take him and his gang of Muslims out. Until then, we’re toast.
