In this image made from video provided by the Libyan national army via AP Television, Tripoli joint security forces stand guard at the entrance to the parliament after troops of Gen. Khalifa Hifter targeted Islamist lawmakers and officials at the parliament in Tripoli, Libya, Sunday, May 18, 2014
The State Department recommended Tuesday that Americans leave Libya immediately and warned U.S. citizens against any travel to the North African country.
The department also said that because of security concerns and limited staffing, it was only able to offer limited emergency services to U.S. citizens there. There was no move yet to evacuate diplomats from the embassy.
"U.S. citizens currently in Libya should exercise extreme caution and depart immediately," the department said in a statement.
The department in December warned U.S. citizens against all but essential travel to Tripoli, and against any travel outside the Libyan capital.
Also Tuesday, U.S. defense officials said the Navy warship USS Bataan had moved into the Mediterranean Sea and could be used, if needed, for any possible evacuation of American personnel from Libya. The officials said the Bataan, an amphibious assault ship, was not near Libya and wasn't expected to be positioned off its coast. It more likely would remain in the region, and could move or respond quickly if called.....snip~

Here is some more news that argues the points about the US being inside Libya......How do you think this affects BO's FBI investigation now? Do you note how the Press is labeling this General as going after Islamists? What do you think this means in this pretext within Libya?
We are telling all Americans to get out of Libya.....yet we haven't made a move to evacuate any Embassy people yet. We have limited personnel and the Ansar al Sharia knows we have CIA there. As to some of the other Militias. Is this a disaster waiting to happen? What say ye?
