Media: the Obama administration rejected a plan to provide regular bombardment of IG facilities in Libya

31
The White House rejected the plan of the military department, providing for regular air strikes on the IG in Libya, and the deployment of American special forces there, reports RIA News Post publication Daily Beast.

Security forces in Libya

The main goal for the air strikes was to become the Libyan Sirte - the birthplace of the former leader of the country, Muammar Gaddafi. Currently, the city is hosted by bandits.

“The administration showed little enthusiasm,” an unnamed Pentagon official admitted to the publication.

Earlier, French and Italian leaders made belligerent statements about readiness for intervention in Libya. In this regard, "some representatives of the Pentagon believe that President Barack Obama would like to see these countries at the head of this military campaign," the newspaper notes.

    Sure. Why bomb your own.
    Libya, in short, now make the capital of the IG!
    Ah, Muammar, your country was torn to pieces after you! The jackal is diabolical!

        Well, yes, they will bomb the city again. Together with him they hope to bomb terrorists. This was announced in advance. The bloody show continues.

          They just don’t know what to do and this is not banter, but they really don’t know what to do - the computer does not give out a solution.

            I know what to do.
            A nontrivial solution is needed.
            It is necessary to lure Russia there. Thereby, 2 results can be achieved:
            - ISIS will be destroyed,
            - Russia can be blamed for the destruction of Libya, having removed all responsibility from the West.
            True, a lot of organizational, political, military, financial problems arise here. But all this is solvable.
            There is only one unsolvable problem - the trouble with fools is not so great in Russia that you put your head in a noose for money.
            However, when we finish with Syria it will be possible to pay attention to the neighbors. But only when the situation is ripe, on our terms, and only when the general people are completely screwed up.

          It’s just that Libya is not being bombed by the Russian air forces and there’s nothing to blame. One word is jackals.

        In fact, the question is much deeper than simply unwillingness to give the US Air Force the go-ahead for another "Carpet Democracy" ...
        The cream of ISIS and other Nusr is brought to Libya from Iraq, Syria, Egypt, etc. they are brought by ships of Turkey and other countries accountable for the operation to "Rescue the terrorist gene pool" as you understand the United States. Why Libya?
        1. Direct proximity to an old European who is still showing signs of life.
        2. Oil-rich areas of Libya
        3. The ability to spin another Arab storm is good, there are states nearby where you can recruit ordinary consumable units in addition to those who have already become elite and have gained rich experience not only in waging war BUT! institutions, etc. that we can observe now in Syria on the territory of ISIS controlled.
        4. The ability to blackmail (threatening ISIS locusts) against such countries as Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia and generally deepen ISIS further to Africa in the direction of Niger, Chad, Sudan (and not far from Somalia laughing ). By the way, Egypt and Algeria have rather large and technically well-equipped armies, so if the Libyan porridge brews and the civil war in Algeria and Egypt begins to smolder, the United States will make another gesheft by bombing its own breeding ISIS locusts and pretending to be rescuers coming to the rescue ... living standards of the population in countries such as Chad, Niger, etc. will allow ISIS to recruit so many "Cannon Infantry" (ready to fight for a bowl of soup) that the ISIS numbers and internationalization that we have seen in Syria and Iraq will seem childish ...
        In general, the United States will not bomb Libya, as it is currently their incubator reserve. Not only that, they think they will not allow other countries to cauterize the next head of the hydra of world terrorism. (Well, perhaps the bombing of the desert as the United States and its satellites did) in Syria and Iraq.
        The positive thing is that the Syrian and Iraqi "Elite terrorists" of the United States will move from Syria and Iraq to Libya, away from us and from our friendly Syria / Iraq, allowing the Russian savior bear to put its paw (in the form of naval / air force bases) in the Middle East and as I said earlier, reduce terrorist traffic in the CSTO across the near borders.
        The negative point is that another bomb is being placed under Europe (and given the number of poor Africans who, by and large, need an idea and food), and this bomb will be more terrible than the notorious "Arab Spring" ...

        There is no one in Libya to ask for the videoconferencing.
        Only one person can do this - the son of Gaddafi. But he is in prison and he faces the death penalty. So Libya is now an ownerless territory.

      You are an optimist smile ... He will not repeat his mistakes. He (and most likely SHE) - will make new ones. smile .... Something I do not see among real candidates to take the post of president of the United States of people who are capable of constructive, equal dialogue with Russia.

    It seems to me that they calculated the feasibility of the event and came to the conclusion that there would be no dividends. Or, option number two, left Libya for the next president. To gain points from the electorate.

    Sirt is one of the main Libyan ports from where the oil is shipped. Of course, it would be strange if the Americans began to bomb it. This is business, and nothing personal ...

    Libya, in the end, will still be our problem. Everything that mattresses muddied, they muddled primarily against us. Sooner or later we will have to intervene. This should be included in geostrategic plans, since we are not a regional power, but a global one. This raises two questions.
    1. How to do this with the least loss?
    2. Who to rely on?
