Islamic jihad group captures US Embassy compound in Libya

tripoli-embassy-usa“American personnel evacuated the area roughly a month ago amid ongoing fighting in the country.” Obama’s foreign policy has been a catastrophic failure, and it is only going to get worse. The only people who don’t know this are Americans, because the mainstream media doesn’t tell them.

“Islamic militia group says it has ‘secured’ US compound in Libya,” FoxNews.com, August 31, 2014:

An Islamic militant group said Sunday it has “secured” a U.S. Embassy compound in Libya’s capital city of Tripoli.

American personnel evacuated the area roughly a month ago amid ongoing fighting in the country.

An Associated Press journalist walked through the compound Sunday after the Dawn of Libya, an umbrella group for Islamist militias, invited onlookers inside.

Windows at the compound had been broken, but it appeared most of the equipment there remained untouched.

A commander for the Dawn of Libya group said his forces had entered and been in control of the compound since last week….

    Whoopty friggin do. How hard is it to ‘capture’ a vacant building? Now the US should level the building with the jihadis inside.

    “American personnel evacuated the area roughly a month ago amid ongoing fighting in the country.”

    Well, that’s one saving grace. At least we won’t have another situation like having our embassy staff taken hostage as in Iran in 1979, or—even worse—having Jihadists murder our diplomats as with Ambassador Chris Stevens and his staff two years ago in Benghazi, Libya.

    Really, the whole idea of trying to have “diplomatic relations” with these damn barbarians is madness.

      Funny thing about benghazi is that one of the guys that died that day was a moderator on a forum who banned people for speaking out against Islam and was a firm believer that it was a Religion of Peace.

        That does not surprise me, John. Chris Stevens was a classmate of mine in History at Berkeley, but he was apparently utterly clueless—or worse—when it came to Islam.

        According to some reports, he had even aided the Jihadists who eventually killed him and his colleagues. If true, this was not only completely unprofessional for a diplomat, it was also quite literally suicidal.

      Gravenimage, I couldn’t agree more.

      Let the jihadis have their symbolic victory by taking an empty building.

        I always look forward to hearing your opinion, Kepha, as you served in the diplomatic corps yourself.

    “Obama’s foreign policy has been a catastrophic success”.
    It just depends who’s side you are on Robert.

    I was hoping, while watching the video of the jihadis jumping off the 2nd storey balcony into the pool that looked no more than 6′ deep, that the first dude, who dove head-first, would hit the bottom with his head and fracture C1-2 rather severely then die in an agonising way unable to move or breath while his Bro’s would panic on what do to do as I am sure not a lot of them know how to swim.

    Time for a nice Electro Magnetic Pulse surprise. They want to live in the 7th century, let’s give them what they want. Next completely surround the area. Nothing in, nothing out. When they have to fight with stones and sticks, the Kurds and Christians will eliminate the threat on a far more efficient scale.
