Where’s Hillary? Only she can stop this, and if she doesn’t it’s because she’s a PUPPET!

BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) — The United States has temporarily withdrawn
some of its forces from Libya due to “security conditions on the
ground,” a top military official said Sunday as a Libyan commander’s
forces advanced toward the capital of Tripoli and clashed with rival
militias.

A small contingent of American troops has been in Libya in recent
years, helping local forces combat Islamic State and al-Qaida militants,
as well as protecting diplomatic facilities.
…
Oooo Kaaay, … so the troops we had there are leaving… right? Who is protecting our civilian diplomats then?? Was that also not a primary function for our troops? I would think that if the situation on the ground is untenable for our troops that it would be a darned good idea to get the civilians out. Someone really needs to teach writing skills to those who’s job it is to produce verbage for the AP.

Ser Darr, you assume that the AP wishes to inform you in a meaningful and useful manner consistent with the political weight previously provided towards events occurring in the region. :slight_smile:

Nope.

The AP merely reports and does not attempt to draw historical connections, instead utilizing the journalistic technique sometimes referred to as “bothsiderism”. It is up to the reader to take their reams of textual output, place them on multiple rolls just like toilet paper, and then connect all the dots while using same. This requires (1) intellectual curiosity, (2) intelligence, (3) analytical capability, and (4) the call of nature. Since there is no one in the current administration with more than one of these skills, this information is relegated to the “back pages” of paper publications and websites, never to be read until after the fact of death of ambassadors and agents, in which case the current maladministration will subsequently “out” the CIA agent in charge and also blame it all on Hillary. At least that’s what the play book currently has diagrammed in it, based on past procedures and lessons learned.
