The United States launched a new round of airstrikes against Islamic State militants in Libya on Monday, Pentagon officials confirmed, opening a more persistent front against the terror group that had no specific "end point" as long as the fragile Libyan government needed U.S. help.
President Obama authorized the strikes after the United Nations-backed Libyan government made its first request for this type of aid, the Pentagon said. It marked the third round of U.S. strikes in Libya since November.
Some members of ISIS have sought refuge in Libya. At the request of the Libyan government, we are now providing air support for government troops, who are launching major assaults on their strongholds in a major effort to wipe them out.
Hells yea. Kill the bastards.
