Libyan rebel commander admits his fighters have al-Qaeda links

Mr al-Hasidi...added that the "members of al-Qaeda are also good Muslims and are fighting against the invader".

His revelations came even as Idriss Deby Itno, Chad's president, said al-Qaeda had managed to pillage military arsenals in the Libyan rebel zone and acquired arms, "including surface-to-air missiles, which were then smuggled into their sanctuaries".

Mr al-Hasidi admitted he had earlier fought against "the foreign invasion" in Afghanistan, before being "captured in 2002 in Peshwar, in Pakistan". He was later handed over to the US, 5 years later released from GITMO and then held in Libya before being released in 2008.

Thanks Al-Barak Hussein Obama. More of that "Islamic Spring" of yours that is ushering in the likes of the Muslim Brotherhood (who have infiltrated your own White House), in Egypt, and now this in Libya.

Just as I said, Obama has covered the bases for Kaddafi and, at the same time played in support of the Muslim Brotherhood in Libya. Thanks to the USA traitor, POTUS Obama, the Middle East is now gone, Iraq & Afghanistan will follow down the road, Jews in Israel are now being murdered by Egyptians from the Muslim Brotherhood and Black African Christians are being murdered by the Muslim Brotherhood in Libya!!! American Jews & American Black folk, wake-up!!! POTUS Obama has thrown you under the bus, along with all Americans!!!

Great! another one to add to the vacation security checklist.. procure and strap RC chaff canisters to the rear of the jets we’ll be flying on next month .. if they aren’t already equipped (at what, $2 million a plane?).

all the stingers from afghanistan are toast,, hopefully these don’t get places before they fizzle..

traveling is a real adventure these days..

I seem to be noticing a trend amongst many of these jihadist “leaders”.

Crazy looking or crossed eyes.

You’d think someone of either party in Congress would call obama on his support of al quaida in Libya. I fell like I’m living in another country. It seems that everyone in the media and congress has been silenced on a whole range of issues and it’s quite scary.

What a perfect contrast for the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

GWB who aggressively fought the War on Terror by pursuing Al Quaida to the end of the earth VS. Obama who now has given Al Quaida a Capitol for their own Country in Libya.

We have over-educated fools running the State Department. That see things how they want to see them and not how they actually are.

Bush had them hiding in holes in the ground and obscure, totally isolated villas or flats...Obama has them out partying in the streets and taking over entire nations.

There are those who do speak up. There are hearings being held on militant islam in the House. But the dems and the socialists and their Chicago organization now in the White House are certainly out to stiflle and silence critics.

But they are scared of the Tea Party...which is just to say they are scared of the American people because they are waking up

TEA PARTY TIME IN AMERICA

Double down on 2010 in 2012.
