President Obama is stuck in deciding whether or not to open a military front against ISIS in Libya. On one hand, his top security officials are telling him to get American military power legalized in Libya to fight against ISIS. On the other hand, the president told his officials to open a unity government in Libya.
The argument between Obama and his officials, which happened in a meeting last Thursday, has not come to a conclusion yet. Neither has the decision if the military will go into Libya or not. Juan Carlos Zarate, a counterterrorism official under President Bush, said, “We may not have a choice if ISIS continues to control greater swaths of territory and assemble more terrorists.”
