Et tu Egypt?

Egypt’s military said Monday that it had launched airstrikes against ISIS-affiliated militants in Libya after a video purporting to show the mass beheading of Coptic Christian hostages surfaced Sunday.

A spokesman for the Armed Forces General Command announced the strikes on state radio Monday, marking the first time Cairo has publicly acknowledged taking military action in neighboring Libya, where extremist groups seen as a threat to both countries have taken root in recent years.

The statement said the warplanes targeted weapons caches and training camps before returning safely. It said the strikes were “to avenge the bloodshed and to seek retribution from the killers.”

“Let those far and near know that Egyptians have a shield that protects them,” it said.

Meanwhile in Washington DC.

ISIS has certainly perfected making the whole world hate them in short order. Doesn't seem a great method for increasing the size of the group.

Insanity abounds!

If Islam isn't to blame, then ISIS must be a bunch of stealth Quakers.
