I would say this is good. However where are our allies? How many times has France declared war on ISIS? Why aren't they bombing ISIS in libya?

You know, World Nut Daily, Breitbart, and Boss Limbaugh are not the most reliable sources of news.
Also, you can thank President Obama for helping to make France a great ally of ours again, after you and your hero George Bush insulted and belittled them for eight years.

French Special Forces Engaged Against Terrorists in Libya

PARIS — Three French soldiers were killed in Libya “while on a mission,” the French Defense Ministry announced Wednesday, in the first official confirmation that French special forces have been active in Libya in apparent operations against the Islamic State.

The Defense Ministry declined to confirm the reported details of the soldiers’ deaths, but President François Hollande, addressing a military training center in southwestern France, specifically mentioned a “helicopter crash.”

The Associated Press, quoting Libyan officials, reported that the soldiers were killed Sunday in an attack on their helicopter. An Islamist militia known as the Defending Benghazi Brigade asserted responsibility for the downing.

There are an estimated 2,000 to 5,000 Islamic State fighters across Libya, which has been gripped by unrest and political upheavals since a Western-aided uprising in 2011 deposed longtime ruler Moammar Gaddafi, who was captured and killed by rebels.

In Paris, government spokesman Stéphane Le Foll said in a radio interview that French forces in Libya were there to “ensure that France is present everywhere in the fight against terrorism.”

The French newspaper Le Monde first reported the presence of the special forces, claiming in February that several thousand French troops were engaged in “clandestine operations” against the Islamic State. It also reported that a November airstrike that killed Abu Nabil al-Anbari, believed to be the top Islamic State figure in Libya, was “initiated by Paris.”

interesting because
"At the time, Libyan officials denied the Le Monde report and the French government said its interest was merely in reconnaissance."

i'm still not sure if the French special forces are there or not

Gaddafi actually cooperated and gave up his WMDs. What did we do in turn? Bomb him, and let terrorists kill him in the street.

We saw how the great people of Libya thanked us in Benghazi. Not to mention the troops that came to save the rest of the Americans were loyal to Gaddafi....:palm:

well it wasn't like the Iraqi army wasn't fully armed.
The real problem was the sectarian carve out of Sunni officers by al-Maliki.
They were a hollow shell, and panicked when confronting ISIS.

I'm simply saying Obama could have strafed ISIS convoys is the desert..really a no brainer

A few A-10's would have destroyed them before they'd got very far.
