While Obama was enjoying another golf outing, the world reeled at another ISIS video showing 21 Christians being beheaded in Libya. You might think the leader of the free world would be up in arms, but nope, he’s busy, so the reins fall to whomever picks them up.
After the release of the video, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi banned all travel by Egyptian citizens to Libya, promised to evacuate all Egyptians who are currently in the country.
He also said he would send his foreign minister to New York, calling for an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting about how to respond to ISIS actions in Libya.
Well at least someone’s taking ISIS seriously. Too bad it’s Egypt.
Remember, Libya was where Hillary Clinton demanded action to change the regime, because Qaddafi was being way too friendly with us. So now it belongs to terrorists:
Counter-terrorism officials have expressed deep concern about ISIS asserting itself in Libya, where the U.S. is still reeling from the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on a diplomatic post in Benghazi that killed four Americans, including the U.S. Ambassador to Libya.
“They pretty much own Libya,” an official involved in counter-terrorism operations told ABC News recently. “We have zero collection there and zero authorities there.”
Also, she’s the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential candidacy, because at this point, what does it matter?
