Libyan rebels carry the coffin of assassinated Army Chief Abdel Fatah Younis on July 29 in Benghazi, Libya.
Even as it prepares to hand over the Libyan embassy in Washington to the rebel government, the State Department is warning the Transitional National Council to get its act together.
An administration official told CNN the United States has warned the TNC that this is a "do-or-die moment" for the organization to carry out a credible and thorough investigation of the killing of its military commander, Abdel Fatah Younis. Last week's mysterious assassination has raised concerns that it might have been carried out by feuding groups within the rebels themselves.
"We do welcome the Transitional National Council's move to set up an impartial committee that will investigate the incident and we look forward to hearing the results," deputy spokesman Mark Toner told reporters Monday. "It's important that, given the fluidness of the situation on the ground, that the Transitional National Council work to ensure that it takes the right kinds of actions, such as an investigation into the death, and sends a clear and transparent message that they speak on behalf of the Libyan opposition and the Libyan people and that they are diligently carrying out their mandate."
The TNC has been rocked by internal divisions, with rival rebel groups battling each other. The divisions create a dilemma for the Obama administration, which recognized the rebel movement based in Benghazi as Libya's rightful government on July 15 at an international meeting on Libya in Istanbul. The move, done in coordination with the international community, paves the way for the United States to reopen the embassy, accredit diplomats and unfreeze billions of dollars in frozen assets.

I think it’s time we pulled out of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya. Oboma has lost control of all three. We should just leave and let Allah sort it all out.

I am convinced he wants our troops marooned over there, if not ground down by attrition and moronic ROEs.
Barry will have a whistle and some toughly worded signs.
That will show them!!!
If Bamster and Hillary! want to win, perhaps they need to get on the ground and demonstrate true leadership. Lead from the front; lead by example; don't be in the rear with the gear, people!
OMG. I bet they are skeered.
The muslim American dictator demands his muslim bros in Libya “get their act together.”
If this weren’t so puketified, as it is petrified, it would be comicidal.
Where are they? Oh, they must be waiting for Jan 20th 2013 when they will call this Sarah's war.
the Libyan rebels still are a more competent group than Obozo & co.
It appears that some of the ragtag are looking for payback. If I was the other, so called ragtag leader, I would keep my back to the wall.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Or else what, we'll bomb them too?

Well, and also it might help if we fought on the right side. Unfortunately, helping the rebels is against our national interest.
Barry and Hillary! are such a pair of lightweights when it comes to foreign policy. Neither have ever had a real job in the real world.
It’s damned if you do and damned if you don’t. If NATO wins, then we’ve helped bring on the Caliphate. If NATO loses and we pull out, then we’ve shown the world that we are no longer worth their fear or respect, because we can’t win a simple little war.
So if in future we tell them not to do something against our interests, they can safely ignore us.
That’s what incompetent—or evil—leadership does.
How about withdraw all support and tell both the rebels and Khadaffy to have fun together? That would at least be a real threat. And if they clean up their act after that threat, then try it on the PA. And if they don’t, carry out the threat. And then try it again on the PA.
Is it really an insurgency, whether a good or bad one, if it’s directed from overseas by one or more foreign powers?.
Things are going according to plan. Obama was secretly negotiating with Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
Obama has forgiven Egypt $Billions in debt.
Obama wants to give US Tanks to Egypt.
Obama demands Israel withdraw to pre-1967 borders.
Do YOU see a pattern here?
The most OBVIOUS explanation is that Obama is more than a Muslim sympathizer, Obama is a Muslim plant whose mission is much more evil than Americans will ever believe. Actually that is not entirely true, Americans will finally get it when Sharia law overides the CONSITITUTION and Americans start dying because of their Christian beliefs. By then, it will be too late.
Obama will soon have a large percentage of the Libyan Frozen Assets( around 40 billion world wide) flowing to the “New” Libyan government, with a nice percentage for his personal bank accounts Michelle set up in Spain during her trip there last year.
This grift makes Iran Contra look like amateur hour.
