I'll wait to reserve judgment until I see the YouTube video.

With the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, Libya firmly under the control of radical Islamic groups . . . the Administration almost pulled off quite a trifecta until they backed off the overthrow of Assad (kinda).   Had that happened vast swaths of the Middle East would have come under the control of Jihadists with captured weapons of all shapes and sizes.

One of the worst foreign policy decisions in history, but sadly this administration will never really be called on it.   



Sad

A key reason for the Libyan affiliate’s expansion is the chaos that has enveloped this oil-rich nation since the 2011 Arab Spring revolt. The country has two rival governments and is rent by fighting between militias that emerged from the anti-Gaddafi struggle.

Although the Islamic State claims allies in many countries, the Libya branch is especially close to the main organization. Its core fighters in Libya are veterans of the Syrian civil war.

Security experts estimate there are as many as 3,000 fighters loyal to the Islamic State in Libya. The country has become one of the primary locations to train with the group outside of Syria and Iraq. Volunteers from Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and other countries have flocked here to fight with the extremists and other jihadist organizations. The Islamic State also has succeeded in pulling away members of other Libyan extremist groups.

Worse than Iraq?

It may very well prove to be worse than Iraq, as their is no real government of any kind in Libya.   Plus you've got an administration that still loves the MB and wants the MB back in power in Egypt.

Syria is well on the way to becoming the worst humanitarian crisis since WWII.  If the "rebels" win, it will make the Killing Fields look like a slight misunderstanding of ideology.
