How many wars are we fighting at this time?  3….4….more?

Since we intervened in Libya to save the people from a “humanitarian crisis”….we have been up to our asses in problems.  We made sure that a country divided along lines…again……it was not enough that we did the same thing to Iraq….nope we had to do it all over again…..so much for having a plan……

In the time since the death of Qaddafi the rise of ISIS and others with similar goals have been on the rise….and why do you think that is?

You can go about blaming whomever you choose but the one common denominator is……the US of A.

Now it seems that Obama has sent heard to his commanders of the Libyan campaign to go after ISIS affiliates…….

With several Pentagon officials, including the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joe Dunford and Press Secretary Peter Cook talking up military efforts to lay the groundwork for a US war in Libya, which Dunford suggested would be formalized in several weeks, President Obama is starting to talk up the idea too.

The White House confirmed today that President Obama has ordered his national security advisers to draw up plans to “counter” ISIS efforts to expand in Libya. Defense Secretary Ash Carter confirmed the move, saying several options are being drawn up.

There is the cute part……”asking the national security advisers” to draw up a plan to counter ISIS”……these are the same people that drew up plans in Syria and we see how well that is working….now don’t we?

You know I think we, the people, should have some say in who and how many years we must fight…….

This escalation is being planned without a meaningful debate in Congress about the merits and risks of a military campaign, the New York Timesnotes. Pentagon officials have not made a case that the proposed military action has achievable goals, and airstrikes could lead to a ground war.

If Congress takes no action, endless war will likely be extended to a new country, without time limit, without restrictions on the use of U.S. ground troops, and without any limit on who can be targeted, even if they have never attacked the United States nor shown any public inclination to do so.

Urge Congress to exercise its responsibilities under the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution by debating and voting on U.S. military escalation in Libya before it happens by signing and sharing our petition:

Please take some time and check it out…..then if you agree with me then please consider adding your name to the petition……we must stop this constant interventions where we may not be wanted……I believe enough Americans have been torn away from their families and way too many have died or been injured for NOTHING!

Then there are those that say time is running out on any chances for stabilizing Libya……

Italy’s foreign minister says time is running out to stabilise war-torn Libya as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group is expanding its reach in the North African country.

The warning came as the European nation on Tuesday hosted in Rome representatives from 23 countries who are part of the US-led coalition seeking to prevent ISIL from seizing Libya and targeting the West from across the Mediterranean Sea.

Hashem Ahelbarra, reporting from Rome, said the coalition was working on a plan for potential air strikes on ISIL positions in the coastal area that stretches from Bin Jawa to the west of Sirte, which lies about 370km east of the capital Tripoli.

I have watched the Libyan saga unfold from the beginning……I am coming to the mind that there was never any intention for a stable Libya……for instance….the “No Fly Zone”……why?  The Libyan air force was not engaged in the fray…….or was the no-fly zone just a cover to commit the airstrikes?  Was this somehow a revenge thing?  Or was it truly to prevent a humanitarian crisis….if it was then what would you call what we help create in Libya?

My best guess is……A Cluster F*ck…F.U.B.A.R.!
