White House Indecisive As ISIS Blooms In Libya
Daily Caller ^ | 02/04/2016 | Rachjel Stoltzfuss

Libya is embroiled in a civil war in which various militias are too busy fighting each other to worry much about fighting ISIS, and teams of U.S. Special Operations Forces working to change that have had little success.

The ongoing chaos has allowed ISIS to continue growing and solidifying its presence along the coast. Senior ISIS commanders are taking advantage of the territory to escape U.S. airstrikes in Iraq and Syria.

...

Obama gathered his national security advisers last Thursday to talk about the fight against ISIS and asked them to prepare options to address the group's presence in Libya without disrupting international efforts to unify the country, reported The New York Times. Military options include airstrikes, commando raids or allocating troops to advise and train Libyan militias, but not troops on the ground.

Obama had not made up his mind on a course of action as of Thursday, reported The New York Times. He's redoubling efforts to form a unity government but has not determined what, if any, military action will be taken to combat the threat.

It's not indecision. Inaction maybe, but it is decided inaction.

Not indecisive at all. They decided not to let the military intervene in Benghazi and according to recent information, even turned two special ops teams back. See:

...if you haven’t already. Very damning with a lot of specificity.

Isn't this what all sane people were cyber-screaming when NATO decided it would be fun to topple Khaddafi, since Libya would surely become a western style democracy without him? (and, oh yeah, provide a port for the oil they'd steal out of western Egypt when that government fell, too). Did they really think the natives who did the fighting would just turn their country over to Europe and the US?

I love reading maps, one of my favorite nerd things. ISIS has been denied their corridor to the Med through Syria, thanks to Russia.

So now ISIS has a Mediterranean coast, not that far from southern Italy, with plenty of island stepping stones to get to Europe? And an invasion passing through.

unbelievable. How long can civilization survive, running on stupid? And nobody studying Geography anymore.

The community organizer is in a holding pattern. He is not about to get into another conflict while he is figuring out how he can pass the failing conflicts currently on his watch to his successor so his successor gets blamed for his incompetence in Syria,Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, Yemen, etc

He’s not indecisive. He knows what he’s doing. He favors the spread of islam throughout the world.

Once ISIS completes its link ups and controls most of Libya, it will then ally with the even more deadly Boko Harum and in one fell swoop 60 North and Western African countries fall overnight.

Nope because by the time people get around to realizing the US should be in a declared war with Isalm, most of the US will be in utter chaos and well on the war to becoming a Socialist Democrat controled Islamic state.

“”asked them to prepare options to address the group’s presence in Libya without disrupting international efforts to unify the country””

After he and Hillary saw to it that “the group” was invited in? What does that bird in the WH smoke? Must be some pretty good stuff or he figures no one is paying attention to his insane ramblings!

Low hanging fruit for any republican candidate willing to hang this around Hillary’s neck.
