At least two sites contain chemical weapons and nuclear material, including approximately 7,000 drums of uranium. Assistant Secretary of State Andrew Shapiro says terrorist groups have expressed interest in obtaining the missiles, which “could pose a threat to civil aviation.”

The Daily Telegraph reports that Libyan rebel leader Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi has admitted that a significant number of the Libyan rebels consisted of al-Qaeda fighters, many of whom fought U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Numerous news outlets report that in the last two weeks, scores of al-Qaeda flags have been raised over Benghazi and throughout Libya, including over the headquarters of the Libyan rebels.

Given the evident allegiances and sympathies of many of the Libyan rebels, what is the probability that al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups will acquire, or already have acquired, at least some of the missing Libyan weapons?

I have said since day one that al-qaeda was a significant force participating with the rebels. Now they have weapons, and are flying the Al Qaeda flag.

What kind of DUPES ARE WE??????? Did nobody ever bother to look ahead??

many of us on this site look forward , sadly the white house and much of the GOP did not or they wanted this or they were just cowards like most of the time and refused to stand up and be heard.

Funny how our media seems to have shut up about Egypt and Libya all of a sudden, maybe they had their orders to get out and shut up.

It was so painfully obvious!!

Now, after spending 2 billion to liberate the rebels/Al Qaeda, we will be protecting ourselves from attack by these same people with our same weapons.

How many times has this played out before?

Obama knows exactly what he is doing

Obama's goal is the destruction of the USA remember , this was an illegal and unconstitutional act by the president there was no congressional approval
