Twenty-one Egyptian Christian hostages were beheaded simultaneously by the Islamic State and Egypt responded by launching airstrikes in Libya on Monday in response to this horrendous barbaric act. The Associated Press reported that a spokesman for the Armed Forces General Command had announced the strikes on state radio which was "to avenge the bloodshed and to seek retribution from the killers."
The airstrike targeted IS weapons caches and training camps and was the first time Egypt has overtly taken action in Libya.
The statement added: "Let those far and near know that Egyptians have a shield that protects them."
A spokesman for Abdullah al-Thinni, the Libyan Prime Minister told the BBC that Egyptian warplanes have taken part in coordinated airstrikes in the city of Derna, currently being held by IS. Libya's air force commander, Saqr al-Joroushi said that about 50 IS jihadists were killed. A good start.
Meanwhile, President Obama continues to employ his "Strategic Patience" strategy as he plans to spend most of the day playing golf in Palm Springs, CA. He will play as many holes as he can get in until around 2:30 PM west coast time, as he bides his time before deciding America's next move in the war on Islamic jihad.
After he putters around while Egypt fights the good fight, Obama plans to return to the White House where he hopes that Congress will agree to limit his powers as Commander in Chief. Let them can take the blame for insulting Islam by waging war against the Islamic State. He can always find moral equivalency with Christians.
Is Obama the worst president ever?
It depends on whose side you're on.
