On His Way Out the Door, Obama Bombs Libya One Last Time (http://www.commondreams.org/news/2017/01/19/his-way-out-door-obama-bombs-libya-one-last-time)
At least 80 people were killed in a strike approved by the president earlier this week without congressional approval


U.S. B-2 war planes bombed two camps in Libya overnight that Pentagon officials claim were housing Islamic State (ISIS) militants, concluding President Barack Obama's time as commander in chief with another slew of deaths.

More than 80 people were killed at the camps about 25 miles southeast of Sirte, where ISIS fighters fled from last year after attacks by Libyan fighters backed with American air power. The bombing, which was reportedly requested by Libya's Government of National Accord, comes a month after the U.S. claimed a "successful conclusion to a months-long air campaign against the militant group," the Guardian notes.

Obama reportedly authorized the strikes earlier this week, without congressional approval. The president committed to giving Libya air support after the U.S.-backed toppling of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.

Trump would probably approve since it is ISIS.

TRUMP: Defeating ISIS 'will be our highest priority'

Just moments after President Donald Trump was sworn into office, the official White House website was updated with the 45th president's position on foreign policy, which proclaims the defeat of ISIS and other terror groups as his "highest priority."

"To defeat and destroy these groups, we will pursue aggressive joint and coalition military operations when necessary. In addition, the Trump Administration will work with international partners to cut off funding for terrorist groups, to expand intelligence sharing, and to engage in cyberwarfare to disrupt and disable propaganda and recruiting," the site reads.

The inclusion of such language is notable, since ISIS is the only foreign enemy mentioned on the page. Other geopolitical foes such as North Korea, China, and Russia are not mentioned.

It's also at odds with Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense James Mattis, who mentioned Russia as the biggest threat to the United States at his confirmation hearing. Mattis did, however, say that the US needed to be more aggressive against the terror group.
