    Exclusive: Obama Refuses to Hit ISIS’s Libyan Capital
    The terror group is gaining ground in Libya. But the Obama administration has said no to a Pentagon plan to go after ISIS there.


    In recent weeks, the U.S. military—led by its Africa and Special Operations Commands—have pushed for more airstrikes and the deployment of elite troops, particularly in the city of Sirte. The hometown of former Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, the city is now under ISIS control and serving as a regional epicenter for the terror group.


    Weeks ago, defense officials told The New York Times that they were crafting military plans for such strikes, but needed more time to develop intelligence so that they could launch a sustained air campaign on ISIS in Sirte.


    But those plans have since been put on the back burner.

    Though we had the French help us in our liberty, we fought and fought hard.

    If only the French fought for us and we ran to another country, would the French still have won?

    Why do we have to be the liberators? Why can't they fight for their own freedom? Why do they run? When they do
    run to another country, they show no gratitude and act like animals.

    Middle east is one fukked up area.
