The question no one is asking about Libya: Who is paying (and paying for) the Rebels?

Had another very interesting phone call with an old retired CIA friend/source this evening. He said "All your reporter friends are failing to ask the most important question. 'Who is payinng the rebels in Libya?"

Following the direction of the old truths. "No bucks, no Buck Rogers" and "Follow the money and you follow the crime;" I asked myself, who is paying these guys?

Forget about ammunition and other items that can be "liberated." Who is providing their food? Who is feeding the families? Who is providing all the other hugely expensive things life amd war demands? The list of questions goes on and on.

Since there have been no answers to these obvious questions, I'll ask simply, who is footing the bill? Not us, not the Brits nor France, nor China or the Sovs. Certainly not the Egyptians.

The Saudis? Israel?

Any ideas?

Every stalwart Freeper knows it has to be either:

1. The Amish

or, else it’s

2. Bush’s fault!!

Bkmark to read in the daylight. Been asking myself this question and assuming it is Soros as usual

[griswold3]

i say this chaos benefits the Russians the most with the rise in oil prices...

Who paid the French Underground?

Socrates?

My answer is the rebels are fighting out of their own pockets, as it were. They have captured weapons, supply depots, that sort of thing.

They hate Gaddafi and have had enough.

Won't end well, though.

[Dick Holmes]

Seriously? Who paid for the American Revolution?

[JRandomFreeper]

They don't teach operatives how to do low/no budget actions anymore?

And besides, the question has to get asked about who funds governments, and if their funding goes away..... Bet I'll still have salad tomorrow.

Well, who has the most to gain?

You would probably need a complex database to sort through all the ways it is being funded. Through this group, then that group, then another, etc, etc.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we are funding part of this boondoggle.

I mean, they are talking about instituting a no-fly zone. Who does this benefit and why?

[Righting]

Partly, hijacked oil points?

You can be that Naive.

My answer is the rebels are fighting out of their own pockets

[Dick Holmes]

Forgot to add, did the CIA foresee the events in Tunisia, Egypt or now Libya?

Didn't think so.

When authoritarian regimes who maintain total control over lethal devices disintegrate, those devices fall into the hands of whatever random disintegrating particle in control of those devices decides.

This is not a new thing. A box car full of gold means jack $hit at this moment outside Tripoli. Cant shoot it and cant eat it.

Talk with the man holding a box car full of AK’s and ammo if you want to survive. Whatever side he is on is Antone's guess. Best guess right the first time.

[rcrngroup]

I blame Baruk Hussein 0dumbo, the socialist commie RAT bastard imposter-in-chief, funding the rebels from the taxpayers trillion dollar porkulus fund that he & the socialist dimturds slammed through in Feb/March 2009, the first of his rape & pillaging of the American taxpayers. I wouldn’t put anything past that bastard SOB

[mmercier]

Who is this Antone...?

[Tea Party Reveler]

IRAN

[MindBender26]

Who paid for the American Revolution?

Serious answer: Dutch bankers with loans arranged by John Adams.

[MindBender26]

The fact that Russia’s entire 2009 and forward economy is/was based on $90+ per barrel oil exports is one of the vastly underreported stories in the world today.

[MindBender26]

USA and UK. It was war on the cheap for us.
