Pentagon: 'We Don't Have an End Point' for 'Precision' Airstrikes in Libya
(CNSNews.com) - In the effort to defeat Islamic State terrorists wherever they spread, the U.S. military is now conducting "precision" airstrikes on targets in Sirte, Libya -- targets identified by Libya's Government of National Accord (GNA) and vetted by the U.S. Military.
Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said the goal is to "eliminate ISIL from Sirte and the country," but it's not clear how long that might take:
"We don't have an end point at this particular moment in time," Cook told reporters on Monday. "But we'll be working closely with the GNA, and we certainly hope that this is something that does not require a lengthy amount of time."
