Libya friends and foes

There is an old axiom “My enemy’s enemy is my friend.”

Since September 11^th 2001, America’s armed forces have been at war with Al Qaeda.

Wherever we find them, we try to kill or capture them.

Except in Libya, where it appears they are going to benefit from our intervention.

Al Qaeda seems to think of this as a benefit, which is not good for long term strategic American interests.

Fasten your seat belts, it is going to be a bumpy ride with Libya.
