According to officials cited by Reuters, the Obama Administration is growing concerned about the Islamic militant activity inside Libya, fearing they might gain strength in the wake of the ouster of Moammar Gadhafi.
So, in a move that one might’ve thought would come before insinuating themselves into the Libyan Civil War, the US is starting to conduct investigations into the background of many of the rebel leaders.
Of course, a large number of the rebel leaders are Islamist militants who have been fighting against the Gadhafi regime for decades. Abdulhakim Belhaj, the closest thing Libya has to a military leader right now, was even kidnapped and tortured by the CIA for his opposition to the regime.
The administration’s sudden concern about handing the nation over to a collection of defectors and Islamists is noteworthy, but the real story that we’ll undoubtedly be looking at for years as that they jumped on the bandwagon for this war before considering that.
From the smirk on his face I would say Obama is proud of himself.
Did not Castro (from Cuba) recently say the Obama was "stupid" This is confirmation that He (Castro) was right.
That was Obama's expression after being informed that he had murdered civilians in a drone strike. "Did I do that?"
CORPORATE OCCUPATION
What multination corporate terrorism is all about, use freedom fighters to invade a nation, then classify as terrorist any freedom fighter who opposes corporate control. For a corporate controlled dictator — what corporate occupation is all about.
I think this is more of Europe's mess than it is ours. We have the majority blame in many ME nations but this one is on Europe.
Mike, its on all those murderous ones that took part, to include the U.S.A..They aided with armament,propaganda, and even agents on the grounds of Libya! They all in the long run should end up in the Hague to be tried for the slaughter of the people of Libya,and the contrived assassination attempts against M.Qaddafi' and his families lives. And when you say "that you think its more of Europe;s mess than ours", If I were you I certainly would not quote this mess as you called it to be yours….This was not done in the peoples name,and it damn sure wasn't done in mind !
The U.S. didn't 'insinuate' itself into the Libyan debacle. The U.S. STARTED it.
Half the so-called 'rebels' spent years in the U.S. living a stone's throw from Langley.
Let's not make it seem like they didn't know what the F Suckozy, Cameron, Obama and the other assorted pie-holes were doing when they started this BS war…a moron might have known this was quite a likely outcome.
How soon before the troops land?
Scumbags
The idea was that, kill the Libyans, then kill the murderers hired and stay with it! continue to pay tax and will continue to address the worldwide massacres perpetrated by the U.S. government
