Only the Alinskyite president and Hillary would believe Libya and Egypt would have anything to do with democracy.

The roots of al Qaeda were famously planted in Afghanistan in the 1980s, fighting the Soviet Union. Many current al Qaeda fighters, including Osama bin Laden, were then mujaheddin rebels that benefited greatly from American arms and covert military training against a better-equipped fighting force.
Today, in Libya, a ragtag group of rebels fight a seesaw battle against Muammar Qaddafi's better-equipped forces, and a debate rages over whether to provide them arms and training.
However, whispers are growing that al Qaeda may already be among them, complicating the current debate over arming the rebels.

Admiral James Stavridis, NATO supreme commander for Europe, said of Libya's rebel force: "We have seen flickers in the intelligence of potential al Qaeda, Hezbollah."
Former CIA officer Bruce Riedel took things a step further, telling the Hindustan Times: "There is no question that al Qaeda's Libyan franchise, Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, is a part of the opposition. It has always been Qaddafi's biggest enemy and its stronghold is Benghazi. What is unclear is how much of the opposition is al Qaeda/Libyan Islamic Fighting Group - 2 percent or 80 percent."

OBL was trained by the CIA?
Keep repeating lies long enough and soon...well its CBS so maybe people won’t believe it.
Zippy is destroying this nation. He’s bleeding the middle class dry, and arming our enemies at the same time. Incompetence or by design?? When will a leader emerge to challenge this administration?

IMO - this doesn’t complicate anything for the jerk in the WH - it’s what he’s hoping for, I’m sure. HOPE and CHANGE MAY work for him in Lybia....
Watching any news show anymore is like watching a comedy show except there’s nothing funny about elected officials groping for excuses and backpedaling on everything.
Odd that reports come out today about PERHAPS the CIA is on the ground there. Lt. Col. David Hunt told O’Reilly last week we have special ops there or there wouldn’t have been any cruise missiles or planes bombing. He and another retired officer (can’t remember his name as we don’t see him often but he was a snappy handsome guy) were Special Ops and they both said there was no way anything would have started without someone in there directing the area to be taken out. Hunt and the other officer weren’t talking about CIA - they mentioned our special forces, France’s and SAS.....

“Western thinking has become conservative:
the world situation should stay as it is at any cost;
there should be no changes. ....
The communist regime in the East could stand and grow due to the enthusiastic support
from an enormous number of Western intellectuals who felt a kinship and refused to see
communism's crimes. And when they no longer could do so, they tried to justify them. In
our Eastern countries, communism has suffered a complete ideological defeat; it is zero
and less than zero. But Western intellectuals still look at it with interest and with
empathy, and this is precisely what makes it so immensely difficult for the West to
withstand the East.”
[Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn at the Commencement, 8 June 1978, Harvard University]
