US forces flown to Libya to support government troops had to leave after landing because of demands from a local militia group, US officials say.
It follows reports that 20 US special forces troops, equipped with advanced weaponry, landed on Monday at an airbase in western Libya.
The troops chose to leave "in an effort to avoid conflict", a US Africa Command (Africom) spokesman told the BBC.

It’s true.
Because obama
Another McCain War. Ambassador Stevens could not know his future at the time.
The Libyan government last week requested Russian assistance vs IS
I suppose some genius from the pentagon jumped on this as a way to respond
We are doing the same thing in SYRIA but so far have not been kicked out
In Iraq the U.S. charade campaign against Daesh is exposed and probably only massive amounts of US bribery are keeping the Iraqi govt from evicting us and formally inviting in the Russians
Notice every one of the traitorous bunch is in business dress...however, their leader is ready to hit the links. What a bunch of malignant losers. ...and to think tax[payers work hard every day so as to pay their salaries and perks. Disgusting.
obozo is ISIL’s biggest supporter.
Yeah, Obamugabe probably sent down the order for them to hurry up and leave but just leave behind weaponry.
I am remembering how the Special Forces were told to leave behind a damaged helicopter when they got bin Laden. I wonder how that equipment is being used against us now.

Excellent point.
Iraq is reporting now that US air strikes killed at least 30 of their soldiers and wounded another 20 from their 55th brigade, which has been one of their most effective anti-Daesh fighting units
Maybe that’s why the U.S. bombed them
The Air Force of ISIS strikes again
Aim High and praise al’lah
The bribe payments just went up by a lot
Or the Russians earned an invite to come in and help clean in Iraq
Yeah, you would think they’d at least blow it into small pieces before leaving...
If you were the SF commander tasked with this mission, what would you do when confronted by a local Libyan militia knowing that your National Security team in the White Hut is spring loaded to leave you hanging like Custer and blame the whole thing on another video? I would turn around and go home, too.
Yah, especially when we are now supporting Al Qaeda as the “ good guys” against ISIS “ bad guys” which obama helped to create and still will not call islamic
