Obama Moves Troops To Libya

President Obama has notified Congress that he has moved troops to the Middle East in response to the recent attack on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya.

In a letter to the heads of the House and Senate, President Obama writes: “On September 12, 2012, in response to an attack on our diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four U.S. citizens, including U.S. Ambassador John Christopher Stevens, a security force from the U.S. Africa Command deployed to Libya to support the security of U.S. personnel in Libya. Further, on September 13, an additional security force arrived in Yemen in response to security threats there.”

Obama continues: “These security forces will remain in Libya and in Yemen until the security situation becomes such that they are no longer needed.”
