Obama Libya

As a vicious civil war erupted in Yemen two years ago and triggered international alarm, the United States warned the combatants to step back. But its efforts were quietly undermined by one of the most trusted U.S. regional allies: the United Arab Emirates.

Two Air Force B-2 stealth bombers struck Islamic State camps southwest of the Libyan city of Sirte on Wednesday night, less than a month after the Pentagon declared an end to an extended air campaign there.

President Barack Obama said on Tuesday it is in the U.S. national security interest to support Libya's emerging government's fight against ISIS, a day after his administration said it launched air attacks there.

Congressional Republicans on Tuesday accused the Obama administration and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of failing to protect US diplomats in the 2012 Benghazi, Libya, attack that killed four Americans.

In his final year in office, US President Barack Obama has said that failing to prepare for the aftermath of the ousting of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 was the "worst mistake" of his presidency.

The White House praised British Prime Minister David Cameron as a "partner and ally" on Friday, seeking to extinguish a diplomatic flap after comments by President Barack Obama on the 2011 Libya intervention were seen as a public rebuke.

British leader David Cameron got "distracted" and French President Nicolas Sarkozy wanted to promote his country during the 2011 NATO-led military intervention in Libya, US President Barack Obama said in an interview with The Atlantic on Thursday.

The White House said on Friday it cannot yet confirm the results of US air strikes in Libya, but that the Obama administration is committed to taking decisive action against ISIS.

US President Barack Obama said on Tuesday the United States will continue to try to prevent ISIS from establishing a foothold in Libya, where political instability has created an opening for the militant group.

US President Barack Obama directed his national security advisers on Thursday to counter efforts by ISIS to expand into Libya and other countries, the White House said.

Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton took the stand today to defend her role in responding to deadly attacks on the US mission in Libya, as Republicans forged ahead with an inquiry criticized as partisan anti-Clinton propaganda.

US President Barack Obama said today the international community should have done more to avoid a leadership vacuum in Libya, which has been in disarray since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi four years ago.

US President Barack Obama has tapped a career diplomat with extensive experience in global hot spots to head the sensitive post of ambassador to Libya.

Some 3,000 pages of Hillary Clinton's emails from her time as top US diplomat will be made public online today by the State Department, following the orders of a federal judge.

A batch of 15 newly disclosed Hillary Clinton emails appears to contradict her assertion last month that memos about Libya she received from an old friend while she was US secretary of state were "unsolicited."
