You don't know that.
No one DOES know. However, a disproportionately high number of jihadis into Iraq after the fall of Saddam came from eastern Libya, the base of the current rebellion. Plus, al-Qaeda openly supports them vs. Gaddafi.
Exterminate both sides? That'll win us friends.
We're not as powerful as we once were, so it's time to look at others taking up the slack from time to time. Plus, in case you haven't noticed, we have a nearly nonexistent southern border through which jihadis are entering the U.S. Let's apply the War on Terror there first.
That was only one report. That report only contained information on 700 foreign fighters. There are numerous other reports. I could go and find those reports and link you to them if you would like. If you take all the reports together, it shows that Libyan foreign fighters were not disproportionately high in numbers.
A news report that mentions only one of numerous studies, is either a poor report or it's propaganda. We should not fall for that.
Plus, al-Qaeda openly supports them vs. Gaddafi.

The kind of appropriate action where we go after terrorists, was once referred to as the War on Terror. As I asked before, what happened to it?
...we have a nearly nonexistent southern border through which jihadis are entering the U.S. Let's apply the War on Terror there first.
We should go after the terrorists, everywhere.
