they are considering arming and training the new unity government in Libya so it can fight the spread of terrorist groups in the country and counter the smuggling of migrants to Europe.
In a joint communique following a lengthy meeting on ways to rein in chaos in Libya, the diplomats said they would support Libyas request to be exempted from a United Nations embargo that was put in place five years ago to keep arms out of the hands of Islamist militants and rival militias locked in a power struggle.
Other parts of the embargo would be reinforced, the communique said, so that arms go only to the forces being established by the government of national accord that returned to Libya six weeks ago when Prime Minister Fayez Serraj arrived on a boat with his allies.

What could possibly go wrong?

These are the same jerks who put the terrorists in power in Libya in the first place. Any and all money we send there will wind up in terrorist hands. You can bet on it.
After all, we need that taxpayer money to bring in more illegal aliens from Mexico to rape our kids and run them over.

The Obama Administration is getting ready to arm the Libyan people who they recently went to war with and bombed the heck out of in order to remove them from the government in order to fight ISIS, an Islamic terror organization that was created , trained and armed by The Obama Administration and its surrogates in Qatar
You can't make this stuff up

(from the article):" arming and training the new unity government in Libya "
Obviously, trying to replicate the Benghazi disaster
If you keep repeating the same action
but expect a different result,.. you are what ?

This is pretty much a total joke.
Libya was turned into a failed state by Obama and Clinton. Chris Stevens was running an operation to turn over weapons seized from Khaddafi to our Syrian “allies” (pretty much Al Qaeda in Syria)
Now we have to bring in more weapons to train unknown jihadis in Libya?

So Obama basically already handed Libya to al Qaeda, arming them “against ISIS” is basically arming ISIS.

Oh good, that is what they need. More weapons. Remember Benghazi. That was the US buying back the guns we gave them. But they gave them back bullet first.

Congress should freeze all of this Obama nonsense until he is out of office. Of course they won’t.
