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.
Citation?
Exterminate both sides? That'll win us friends.
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.
Two, right off the top:

One of those you seek to "exterminate" is a sovereign country. First, we're not going to "exterminate" them and you know that; second, attacking a sovereign country without a long-term strategy is what got us in trouble in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Three other matters I didn't bring up earlier:
1. Would you want to intervene with 0bama playing the role as commander-in-chief? Does anything about his performance give you confidence that he'd succeed in this endeavor?
2. Under which flag will our military fight? U.S., U.N., ??? Which way do you think "citizen of the world" 0bama will go on that one?
3. What happens when Libya devolves into a mish-mash of tribes tearing into each other as a result of our knocking off Gaddafi? Think we're not going to put boots on the ground?
It all sounds so cut and dried... until it starts.
I still maintain... spilling blood for muslims brings no benefit to the United States. They are not worthy of it, IMO. Let them destroy each other.
That report would never even be mentioned by the Treason Media. It suppresses so much information that there should be no surprise that the AQ connection is not referenced by it. How many Americans learned from it the nature of the war against Serbia in kosovo? Many learned and understood the importance of Bush’s invasion of Iraq from the media, that it convinced the Colonel to turn over his Bio-chem weapons and Saddam’s nuclear research program being run in Libya? Can you imagine the casualties from his possession of those weapons today? If not recall Saddam and the Kurds.
