US paves way to arm Libyan rebels

Hillary Clinton has paved the way for the United States to arm the Libyan rebels by declaring that the recent UN security council resolution relaxed an arms embargo on the country.

As Libya's opposition leaders called for the international community to arm them, the secretary of state indicated that the US was considering whether to meet their demands when she talked of a "work in progress".

The US indicated on Monday night that it had not ruled out arming the rebels, though it was assumed this would take some time because of a UN arms embargo which applies to all sides in Libya.

But Clinton made clear that UN security council resolution 1973, which allowed military strikes against Muammar Gaddafi's regime, relaxed the embargo. Speaking after the conference on Libya in London, Clinton said: "It is our interpretation that [resolution] 1973 amended or overrode the absolute prohibition of arms to anyone in Libya so that there could be legitimate transfer of arms if a country were to choose to do that. We have not made that decision at this time."

But it is ok cause some weiner man said so. Only Obama knows what he is doing all others before him did it wrong.

Indeed. Hillary has been riding high during this Libya fiasco. Compared to the feckless obama and laughable Baghdad Bob Gates, she is the only one who even sounds like she is in charge. She'll be a walking disaster foreign policy-wise but at least she gets her point across.

[hinckley buzzard]

We armed the Soviets too, when we were fighting a common enemy. What is your point exactly.

[omega4179]

They now support arming al queda backed brotherhood in new world order efforts to secure Libyan OIL.

Barack Obama has now fired more Tomahawk Cruise Missiles than all other Nobel Peace Prize winners combined!

“C’mon, LAME stream “media”, do your jobs!!!!”

Isn’t that what they are doing, according to their notion of what their job is?

[PA-RIVER]

As I said on another post, I'm hoping for a long protracted and bloody civil war.

These “Rebels” were putting bullets in our soldiers backs for the last 8 years. F-Them. And FUBO.

[Redcloak]

Why not cut out the middleman and arm Al Qaeda directly?

[jeffc]

Isn’t that what they are doing, according to their notion of what their job is?

Well, yeah. I keep forgetting that they think their job is defending their selected President.

[Candor7]

These weapoms will be taken into Iraq by Bengazi Al Qaeda and used by Al Qaeda to war against the Iraquis and remaining US soldiers, there,proving yet again that Obama wants to destabilize the entire ME.

THIS IS INSANE!

As discussed in my earlier report, according to captured al-Qaeda personnel records, al-Hasadi’s hometown of Darnah sent more foreign fighters to fight with al-Qaeda in Iraq than any other foreign city or town. Al-Hasadi has noted, moreover, that some of the fighters he sent to Iraq have since returned to Libya and are fighting with the rebel forces whose path to the West is presently being cleared by American, French, and British missiles.

Hussein will make sure the “Muslim Brotherhood” achieve their power position in the Middle East.

Egypt:

During the 2011 crisis in Egypt, the Brotherhood supported Mohamed ElBaradei to lead opposition forces against President Mubarak's government.

In the protesting crowds of Cairo, Muslim Brotherhood demonstrators in referred to people like ElBaradei as "hamir al-thawra," donkeys of the revolution, suggesting they hoped to exploit ElBaradei in order to hijack the Egyptian revolution for their own agenda.

Libya

Soon after coming to power, Muammar al-Gaddafi regarded the Brotherhood a potential source of opposition. He arrested many Egyptian Brothers and expelled them back to Egypt. In 1973, the security services arrested and tortured members of the Libyan Brotherhood banning the organization and forcing it underground. The secrecy phase helped the Brotherhood to become more popular. The Brotherhood operated secretly in groups of interlinked cells, which was spread in the country. The brotherhood remained underground until the end of 1970s. At the beginning of 1980s, the Brotherhood renamed itself the "Libyan Islamic Group" (Al-Jama'a al-Islamiya al-Libyia) and tried to re-introduce themselves into the Libyan society. On March 2, 2006, the Libyan government released 132 members of the Muslim Brotherhood that were held as political prisoners.

... our Marines from Camp LeJeune were sent over today...

Were they? This makes me sick to my stomach.

Obama is feeding our good American military to the Muslims.
