The United States has carried out air strikes on positions of so-called Islamic State in Libya, following a request by the UN-backed government there, the Pentagon says.

The strikes targeted positions in the port city of Sirte, an IS stronghold.

Apparently, you are too you to remember our issues with Col. Gaddafi. Terrorism Nukes etc. It must all seem so confusing to you. Apparently, the Libyian people didn't agree with your assessment. It was they, not us, who shot him in that culvert.

Gaddafi died because he refused to surrender Libya's oil...I suspect that Hillary invented the phrase, "Arab Spring"......... :oyvey

I wonder whom you think expected Libyia's oil to be surrendered to them. You are quite wrong about "Arab Spring," as with so much else. The term "Spring" to describe popular democracy began in Central Europe before the collapse of the USSR. The media used "Arab Spring" long before our Secretary of State ever did. So many of your "suspicions" are fantasies of the uninformed.

Obama says supporting Libya's fight with Islamic State is in U.S. interest
Quote:
 
President Barack Obama said on Tuesday it is in the U.S. national security interest to support Libya's emerging government's fight against Islamic State, a day after his administration said it launched air strikes there.

The move marks the opening of a new front by the U.S. administration in the war against Islamic State, which, under added pressure in its Syria and Iraq strongholds, is increasingly resorting to planning attacks abroad.

U.S. Special Operations troops aiding Libyan forces in major battle against Islamic State
Quote:
 
U.S. Special Operations forces are providing direct, on-the-ground support for the first time to fighters battling the Islamic State in Libya, U.S. and Libyan officials said, coordinating American airstrikes and providing intelligence information in an effort to oust the group from a militant stronghold.

The positioning of a small number of elite U.S. personnel, operating alongside British troops, in the coastal city of Sirte deepens the involvement of Western nations against the Islamic State’s most powerful affiliate.

U.S. officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a mission that has not been announced publicly, said the American troops were operating out of a joint operations center on the city’s outskirts and that their role was limited to supporting forces loyal to the country’s fragile unity government.
