US and Libyan forces retake Sirte port from ISIS

DEBKAfile

June 11, 2016

US special forces and Libyan army, aligned to the UN-backed unity government in Tripoli have retaken control of the port in the city of Sirte, after fierce fighting with ISIS. DEBKAfile reports about 500 US commandos are taking part in the battle.

Sirte is the most significant ISIS stronghold outside Iraq and Syria.

Air and missile strikes hit ISIS positions this week. Troops are moving closer to the city centre.
The forces began the battle to retake the city last month.

  This may be necessary now.
   I do not know if there was ever a chance to avoid it.

     Is it or is it not ironic that president Obama is presently the warfigtn'est President of all American History?

    Were it not for term limits , he could be the most warlike leader of a nation in human history.

Total bullshit!

Obama's wars were startwed by someone else and are nothing in casualties when compared with WWI, WWII and of course, the Civil War.

WWI WWII and the civil war were not started by the US president , but they were run by presidents who took the war seriously, tried to really understand what was going on and worked to win.

   That may be why they were shorter wars.

I like the way Obama gets blamed for trying to set things right.

Why do you clowns think that Congress is going to fund a major war to conquer Libya and turn it into a democracy?
Lincoln, Wilson and FDR did not have to deal with a totally obstructionist Congress.

Yes they did.

Especially FDR.

It was said that those penny pinchers wanted to shoot the last Japanese soldier with the last bullet bought.

Well, FDR did win the war. He got all he needed.
Obama did not.

Obama got a surge when he asked for one.

What did he not get that would have won this and prevented Isis from being founded?

Isis was founded before Obama came to office, so nothing.
It was founded during the Juniorbush years, and they were warned and did nothing. I have read the details or seen them in a documentary. Cheny and Rumsfeld were informed that there was a cabal of Sunni officers including Baghdadi conspiring and was told where and when to act against them and did nothing.

  Then why and how was it possible for President Obama to declare success?

  I would like to see that documentary.
