Americas participation was air/naval and intelligence support only.

Two days after the UN authorization, the United States and other NATO countries established a no-fly zone throughout Libya and started bombing Qaddafi’s forces. Seven months later, in October 2011, after an extended military campaign with sustained Western support, rebel forces conquered the country and shot Qaddafi dead.

Current calls to take on Syria and Russia are absurd and would quickly escalate into the third world war.

Pushing for taking war into Syria with ISIS just suddenly appearing and the media scrambling to report its atrocities and terror. Where have we heard this before?
Global Warming. Tell us again and again how dire the future will be and then finally just demand we believe its real. The media keeps saying over and over how hot it is, even if it seems like it might even be getting cooler.
Now we have ISIS to blame for the latest attempt at a gun grab.
Pretty soon even the ostrich people will start believing this is more than just a conspiracy.

The Saudi Foreign Minister is calling on the U.S. to bomb Assad.

Saudi FM Backs State Dept Call for Syria Regime Change

Also, the U.S. is angry at Russia for bombing its "rebels", who are physically
and locally co-mingled with Al-Queda, and Al-Queda is co-mingled with "ISIS".

The recently leaked internal DIA document proves the U.S. aided Al-Queda
in Iraq, which became ISIS, and its leader Al-Adnani, who is an ISIS spokesman,
calling for the massacres of innocent Westerners.

Russia: US-Allied Syrian Rebels Mingling With al-Qaeda, Complicate Airstrikes

Essentially, the Pentagon's claims that they are "fighting ISIS" is a lie, and
none of these matters are being accurately described by the major U.S.
media outlets.

I wonder how many of those State Dept heroes are going to change those civilian clothes into a military Uniform and lead the charge into Syria?

Or we can let the Saudi's do their own fighting. Jordan has no problem taking the fight to ISIS. Let those rich OPEC countries do some dying for a change. They stand to loose a great deal if ISIS isn't contained.

The Saudis paid for the U.S. to make and wind up ISIS and set it down facing west, so that Muslim revolutionaries would leave the Saudis alone.

Simultaneous to Saudis not fighting any of these wars they fund, Saudi Arabia also is conspicuously absent from absorbing any of the so-called "refugees."

They're also funding Hillary, but progressives have convinced themselves they'll get lower student loans out of it.

Why doesn't Hillary answer questions about Huma's relationship to the House of Saud?

Nothing to do with the progressive left. What this boils down to is you have 51 members of the council on foreign relations who work for the state dept yelling in Obama"s ear for war. It would not matter one bit if we had Obama or a {R} president heeding CFR advice the U S would find itself in the same quagmire in Syria. Lets hope Obama ignores this war mongering wing because that action could set off a huge war.

Yes it does have to do with the progressive left. Trump wouldn't leave John Bonesman Kerry in the State Department. John is Massachusetts progressive-leftist leadership of Foggy Bottom.

Elections very much have to do with the lieutenant ranks.
