Recent happenings in NATO's "success story" Libya

Americans are coming back from Afghanistan with their tails between their legs as have other NATO countries in the past year(s) ....but none of these Judeo-Christian countries have learnt even the first lesson from the Primer on Muslim Savages....and guess what.... they never will.  Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Egypt .... all total failures.  And Syria will be yet another one ... it's a given.  Two recent presidents of the USA, George"Islam is a Religion of Peace" Bush  and Barack Hussein Obama are jointly responsible for thousands of dead American and NATO soldiers and tens of thousands of dead Muslims... with zilch, zero, nothing good to show for it.   Afghanistan will revert to what it was, Libya is becoming worse than it used to be,  Iraq is in the first stages of a bloody sectarian war,  Egypt is about to erupt, yet again .... and the USA's warships with (I believe more than  3000 combatants) in Egyptian waters .... won't be able to prop up Morsi any longer.

Charles  Millon, France's ex-Minister of Defence writing at WorldReview:
....These men, with their well-armed militias, prosper and prepare for what is expected to be Libya's sombre future.
In the south jihadists tend to their business, carrying out attacks.
If tribal and religious leaders succeed in reaching an agreement it will simply be a matter of Libya following the path of the oil-based monarchies of the Gulf, like Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
The literal and violent application of Sharia law in those countries does not appear to concern the rest of the world.
This is because the only thing that seems to be working in Libya is the production of oil and gas, which is now at pre-revolution levels.
Western oil companies, such as the French group Total which invested US$130 million in 2013 (around 100 million euros) in gas exploration in Libya, do not seem to find anything wrong with the situation vacillating between anarchy and Islamist repression.
As Libya appears to be heading towards a violent order under the dual banner of oil and Salafi Islamism, it is Libya’s African neighbours who are most afraid.

From CNN:
A tense calm prevailed over Libya's capital Thursday  after days of chaos left at least seven people dead -- including a 12-year-old boy.But it's unclear if the violence is really over -- or even who the warring groups are.
Sounds of heavy gunfire and explosions echoed across Tripoli on Wednesday night, sending waves of confusion and panic as residents weren't sure who was behind the attacks.
Medical sources in Abu Saleem Hospital said two people, including a 12-year-old boy, died Wednesday from injuries sustained in the clashes, the state news agency LANA reported. The hospital also said it was treating a number of injured from the violence.
LANA said it was not clear what groups were involved in Wednesday's fighting. It quoted witnesses as saying the densely populated Abu Saleem area was in a state of "panic and fear" as fighting closed off main roads in the area, including the one leading to the international airport..........

From HumanRightsWatch:
....Libyan authorities should allow displaced residents  of the city of Tawergha to return to their homes safely. Local authorities in Ajdabiya turned back a group of Tawerghans on June 25, 2013. Some had left Benghazi in a convoy of about 40 cars for Tawergha, 750 kilometers west, only to be barred passage in Ajdabiya, 150 kilometers from Benghazi.
Tawerghans fled their hometown in August 2011 as armed fighters from the nearby city of Misrata approached. About 35,000 Tawerghans are dispersed across the country and have been prevented from returning by armed groups from Misrata. The Misrata groups accuse Tawerghans of fighting with pro-Gaddafi forces during the 2011 conflict and committing war crimes in Misrata..........

From GlobalPost:
....Clashes erupt in Tripoli,   bomb kills Libya army officer. Fighting erupted in Tripoli on Wednesday when gunmen tried to free comrades seized by ex-rebels, and an army officer was assassinated in Benghazi, highlighting Libya's continuing insecurity nearly two years after dictator Moamer Kadhafi fell.

The clashes broke out in the Abu Slim area near the centre of the capital, a security official said, and gunfire from heavy weapons could be heard in several areas of the city.
Plumes of smoke could be seen rising into the sky above Abu Slim, an AFP journalist at the scene said.
"It's a war here," Meftah, a resident of the area, told AFP.....
