That's what happens when we interfere with no cause. The country was much safer for all inside, except rebels, before we helped overthrow Qaddafi. Now the really bad guys are fighting for control. Qaddafi knew how to deal with them, we don't.
The U.S. military has alerted two elite military units in Europe to be on standby if needed to respond to a deteriorating security situation in Tripoli, Fox News has learned.
In recent days both the U.S. embassy and British embassy in Libya have removed non-essential staff from their embassies.
A specialized Marine unit based in Moron, Spain, is in the process of being repositioned closer to Libya; and in Stuttgart, Germany, a special operations force assigned to AFRICOM has been placed on heightened alert.
Neither team has moved yet.
"We are repositioning assets in the region that could respond if necessary," a senior military official told Fox News Friday. "If the situation deteriorates (in Tripoli) we would be positioned to respond."
The positioning comes after a series of disturbing security developments. Protests broke out Sunday in the capital. The U.S., Britain and France -- the coalition that overthrew Muammar Qaddafi -- issued a joint warning Wednesday to the militias to observe the rule of law, amid concerns about rising tensions between armed rival factions. In Benghazi, there were two explosions at police stations.
The State Department issued a warning Thursday saying the security situation in Tripoli "deteriorated when armed groups seized Libyan government buildings in a dispute over a law regarding officials of the former regime."
The department said it ordered "a number of U.S. government personnel" to depart in response.
The British issued the following warning: "Given the security implications of the ongoing political uncertainty, the British Embassy is temporarily withdrawing a small number of staff, mainly those who work in support of Government Ministries which have been affected by recent developments."

Thanks, 2003 Wild Cobra.
LOL...
Iraq is messy, but a better place today. We had valid reasons to go into Iraq. We have no valid reason to hand Libya over to the rebels.
If they were valid for Iraq, they are valid for Libya.
Wow...
How old are you? You really are getting forgetful. Dementia by chance? Think about my past responses to both. I am not going to repeat my self to a troll like you.
Maybe your taste buds are gone. Does that apple taste like an orange to you?
Partisan hackery is the same no matter what the year, hack.
"Iraq is messy, but a better place today."
From another Imperial predator/colonizer/occupier's perspective:
Iraq: Prospects of par ion as violence takes its toll
Some observers see the current flare-up in Iraq as the worst crisis to afflict the country since its emergence into statehood in 1921.
Others deem it the most critical moment since the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003... or since the final withdrawal of US troops at the end of 2011.
Many are convinced that Iraq is on the brink of a destructive sectarian civil war that would herald its disintegration as the country we know, and that agreement on par ion would be the least-bad option.
Apart from its own often centrifugal internal dynamics, Iraq finds itself caught up in acute regional tensions, with its disparate components pulled in different directions by the same outside forces engaged in the struggle in neighbouring Syria, whose conflict is impacting directly on Iraq

regime change creates instability. might have been the strategic aim in Iraq and in Libya.

Liberals don't give a because their lord and savior Obama is president. It's just like it was when Bush was president. Neo-cons loved everything that Bush did. Liberals love everything Obama does. There's no point in arguing with Obama lovers and supporters.
