ISIS In Libya Update: Egypt Reportedly Readying Assault On Islamic State Group Positions

Egypt reportedly is preparing a large-scale ground and air assault along the Libyan border to oust the Islamic State group from eastern Libya. DebkaFile, quoting military and intelligence sources, said naval and marine forces are assembling at Egypt's Mediterranean ports for a possible assault on Derna, the militants' provincial capital.

DebkaFile noted the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS, represents an unacceptable threat to Egypt, and President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has been warned extremists already have penetrated some Egyptian towns and military units. ISIS fighters are being smuggled through the Sinai Peninsula and Egypt from Syria and Iraq by drug rings, DebkaFile said.

but do you realize how big the me muslim brotherhood empire would be if Egypt and al-sisi hadn’t stood up to our traitor? scary.
surprised obummer didn’t take military action against Egypt on their behalf.
He seems to be a traitor up to a point, but thank goodness doesn’t follow through all the way, like at the Bundy ranch, in Egypt, and finally supporting the kurds at the last minute.
I KNOW there is no good intention, so what is it?

Historically Egypt has a claim on eastern Libya, anyway; so if they annex the place (with its oil), it’s fine with me. Egypt can use the money better than Libya.

He sees himself as a peacemaker and a wise king who knows all.

All the chaos he causes, he then sits back and lectures how it should have been handled.

He never takes ownership of anything. He is the islamic messiah. Any failure is caused by mortals not heeding his great wisdom.
