If there were questions about al-Qaida’s role in post-Gadhafi Libya, VICE reporter Sherif Elhelwa provides some answers in a new story with eyewitness descriptions.
Al-Qaida flags, Elhelwa reports, are popping up around Benghazi. At the city courthouse, which played a prominent role in the Libyan revolution, residents are flying the late terrorist’s Osama bin Laden’s colors.
Similarly, Elhelwa recounts a regular evening sight: “Islamists driving brand-new SUVs and waving the black al Qaeda flag drive the city’s streets at night.”
Armed guards walk the streets, he reports, inspiring fear. Friendly civilians hurriedly warn Elhelwa that he is being watched by the Islamists. “I recommend that you leave now,” he is told.

Iran 2.0.
0bama is turning the entire Middle East over to the Islamists.
You would think that after all the pain America has been thru they would snap in a fit of anger that his decisions have led to this?
The Media isn’t telling anyone. B.Hussein “has Cronkite”
They will re-name Libya Barackistan.
I seriously doubt any predators will take out the oil facilities, as long as Al Quaeda keeps it a joint venture between themselves and BP. The radicals now control another oil producing state, just like Iran...which doesn’t seem to get a lot of predator traffic either.
I’ve covered items like this for the last three years, so I will not repeat myself again!!! You folks and the American people just don’t get it!!! You sit there shooting your yaps off about POTUS Obama, and.....then you do nothing concrete about it. Well, IMHO, POTUS Obama is the sworn enemy of the USA. He is an African Muslim, aligned with the his “Muslim Brotherhood” brethen. Whether it is Obama’s destroying the USA economy or turning the entire Middle East over to his radical Muslim terrorist brothers, Obama is out to destroy america and all she stand for. If you folks cannot fathom these facts, then you deserve every horror and pain coming your way!!! if you were really ticked off about Obama, you would be calling on the Democrat Party to force Obama to resign immediately. And, yes.....I am ticked off big time that about a dozen of our fine military folks made the supreme sacrifice in Afghanistan, ambushed by Obama’s Muslim Taliban!!! We have lost the Middle East, we have lost Iraq and now Obama has us losing Afghanistan. Sad, it really is sad, that so many Americans cannot see the forest for the trees. Go figure!!! Shame on you, America!!! You are like little lambs, being led to the slaughter!!!
Say hello to al-Qeada’s newest truckstop and hello to the next 9/11. That’s Obama, you f’ing traitor.
“If there were questions about al-Qaida’s role in post-Gadhafi Libya...”
The more pertinent question is precisly this: Is Obama on the al-Qaeda payroll, or is he simply their unwitting - and witless - tool?
First of all pal, who do you mean by ‘’we’’? And where are you from? Myself and none of the Freepers here voted for this piece of shit and if you aren’t a citizen of my country then neither did you. What are we going to do about Obama? Vote him out of office in 2012. I knew what this Marxist piece of crap was when he first appeared on the scene so go rant somewhere else.
So did a lot of people, my FRiend. That is why we, as pepugnant as it was, voted for McCain. most od us told ourselves we were voting for Palin but Mc Cain's name was the main one. Unfortunately, they were more parasites voting on that day than Americans. I have said and still say that not the first American voted for the sob.
George W. talked language that al Qaeda understood: strike two of our buildings and we take out two governments friendly to you. Hit us and we retaliate at 1000x the force. Obama, on the other hand, greases the skids to hand over countries to them. The sad thing is that al Qaeda would have traded Afghanistan for Libya as a base of operations any day of the week.
Only a blind man could have missed that coming down the road.
And Predators are flying all over Afghanistan, Pakistan and now Yemen, pretty easy pickings when it's some mud hut, or cars in the middle of nowhere. When you start dropping Hell Fire missiles in populated Libyan cities you will lose the hearts and minds with the residual damage.
I predict come next Summer Al Qaeda / Muslim Brotherhood taking over the Middle East will be a major anchor around Bambi's neck, provided the Repub candidate is smart enough to take it on.
When I talk to people about Obama, their eyes glaze over, literally.
More and more people are aware of the danger we are in, but it's taking too long. These last three years have been pure torture for patriots.
And, in my case, can you imagine calling Schumer's office or the other Dem's who run NY State. Totally useless.
We know he's an American Muslim, but nobody who counts will believe us.
Wow. Who knew this would happen?
Will wonders never cease?
The Arab Spring is nothing more than the Islamist takeover just like the Occupy Wall Street is nothing more than a Communist takeover.
bump
Meanwhile, we get 13 soldiers dead re: another inside job in Afghanistan ‘NATO’; Obama sends med ship to Libya for casualties of war per month ago meeting/request by McCain (while cutting funds for vets); We trade our hardware to Egypt for a release; All calls re; Christian persecution blocked/ignored by the WH and we’re helping equip the cartels on the border while state hands out more visas to Iran.
WTH do we have on the hill in D.C.?
My friend, I clearly realize that the overwhelming numbers of good folks that post on this site have a vast dislike for POTUS Barack Hussein Obama, and that all of them know the danger he represents to the USA. I rant, because, very few people, many conservatives included, both in the media and outside the media, do not effectively draw or outline the ultra danger that Obama has put our great country in. So....since most of the Pubbie POTUS potential nominees are too weak and frightened to call things out as they are, someone has to blow the warning bugle hard and fast!!! You must admit, that in all the nominee debates thus far, foreign relations and policy has hardly been touched upon or discussed, and very few of “our” candidates have spoken with truth and honesty!!! I remember, every single day about the unemployed, through no fault of their own suffering, losing their homes and the Mom & Pop of a killed Military member in a war that our President, Obama would love to see us lose, and....that breaks my heart!!! Sorry!!!
Do you have nursing skills to take care of my youngest after i’m tried and fried?
That’s where I am.
I told everyone with ears about this POS in Chicago a decade before anybody in the other states heard his name.
Unless someone has a starchamber and a long list, a lot of blood is coming, either way.
Are you doing this?
People are active and the Tea Party has gotten some significant traction. These things don't happen overnight but as long as people continue to rally, get the message out and support conservatives over the GOP standard, I believe our progress can continue.
I can't tell you how it feels to have given over seven years of my life and worked with countless others to support gaining an ally in the Middle East only to have it all thrown away by this horror of an administration. I can't tell anyone; nobody cares.
But we can't just give up. We have to keep working to change the face of Congress and to remove that usurper from the White House. And we must keep the media from nominating our candidate like they did last time around.
I voted for Sarah Palin.
So did I. I was going to sit it out if he had not picked her.
Friend, let me tell you- I used to be one them- a liberal that is. I know how they think, I know them better than any conservative does and I know them better than they know themselves trust me. I’m as much a conservative as to make some conservatives look like New Dealers. I understand your anger. As for my own,especially towards Obama? Well, seriously, it’s something I keep to myself as it would not only have me tossed off here, I’d be arrested. But that’s niether here nor there. 2012 is whatt is important. Pray God we do get a decent candidate and the foreign policy bs will be dealt with.
Duncan Hunter is who I really wanted.
Kindred spirit, I am with you. My path is bit different then yours. I’m a Barry Goldwater, Ronnie Reagan dude!!! Yes as BG used to say, “Extremism In Defense Of Liberty Is No Vice!!!” Have faith, the Good Lord, God almighty gave us Washington, Lincoln & Reagan when our country needed them most!!! He will not fail us again!!! And......The Lord helps those that help themselves!!! So....let us join the battle in earnest. I have a had a great ride through the merry-go-round of life. I fight on for my kids, my grandkids and all the kids yet to come!!!
Voted for Ronnie in ‘80, Mondale in ‘84. Diverting, eh? “Extremism in the defense of Liberty is no Vice. And Moderation in the pursuit of Justice is no Virtue’’.
A lot of things have happened in the last ten years. He declared an end to all wmd programs, we normailized relations with him....and BP came in to recover the oil resource. Daffy was a very bad guy, yes. However, he had transitioned to an oil state, Saudi style...with a very vested interest in normalized relations with the west. Very different, I fear, from what the future holds. Think about it, toppling the Taliban and Saddam was very quick and easy - the fight we are still in has to do with establishoing who fills the power vacuum. How come no fight to fill it in Libya?
Unfortunately, this wasn’t a Lone Ranger deal. McCain, Graham and a bunch of misguided GOP politicians supported Obama, and, in fact, practically forced his hand. All of the usual big thinkers (more and more, I’m inclined to call them group thinkers) at the National Review and the Weekly Standard were egging Obama on, calling him insufficiently motivated. What the heck were they thinking? The issue is that if we intervene in a situation like this, we can’t be for a generic democracy - we have to support our bastards. Because the alternative is that some other country supports their bastards, who go on to win, and the country being fought over ends up being our enemy. Haven’t we learned anything from the Cold War? (Not the left’s BS lessons, but the fact that we must finance and train our guys, because our enemies are financing and training their guys, and the guys with the most financing and training will win).
Regrettably, in this instance, McCain's reaction would have been no different. In fact, McCain's whole shtick was that Obama wasn't acting quickly enough or with enough force. In the case of Libya, I'm afraid both parties are infected by an incurable case of group think, that merely toppling an existing dictatorship will advance our national interests. We used to be more worldly-wise, and actually secretly finance and train our bastards. If that's happening in Libya, I'm sure not seeing the results, between the recent proclamations of sharia and polygamy.
“Worldly-wise’’? Not hardly. “He maybe a son of a bitch, but he’s our son of a bitch’’- President Harry Truman.
It may be our greatest gift, yet. A radicalized ME give Americans every reason to want true energy independence.
Obama’s proven he doesn’t have America’s security interests at heart.
...Benghazi. At the city courthouse, which played a prominent role in the Libyan revolution, residents are flying the late terrorist’s Osama bin Laden’s colors.
Well, then, it’s ok. They’re grateful to me. If they were with Al Qaeda, they would have called it Osamastan. Barackistan, has a nice ring to it. This proves it has nothing to do with Al Qaeda.
Uh, Mr. President, can we continue with the briefing?
And it only cost $2 billion to hand Libya over to these sleazeballs according to Biden. What a deal! You will never hear this administration mention Libya again. And the MSM will cover it up as well. Losers all.
Would someone please explain the urgency in treating these Libyan fighters in America? These men are not grievously wounded. Most of them are walking.
Are the Europeans doing this nonsense too, or do they have more sense than to bring in flocks of Jihadist combatants on purpose?
Perhaps we just have too much money laying around and this seemed like a nice way to spend it.
I have not heard that the European countries were doing anything like this. But we’re getting 22 new cell leaders. I guess RomneyCare was the best bet for getting them well—no insurance, no problem!
Actually I bet the federal government will be covering the hospital bills for these gunslingers.
The taxpayer’s money will come via Dept of State or DOD budgeting.
Who lost Libya? OBAMA!
Who is losing Iraq? OBAMA!
Who will lose Afghanistan? OBAMA!
Thank you American voters.
Thank you Mr Sore-os.
Thank you (former) journalists.
Thank you “progressives”.
Thank you venal Congress.
