Ironic. On the same day accepts an award (in private) for transparency in government.

somewhere Rummy is chuckling as he watches his ‘Ministry of Disinformation’ churn out its product in a nonpartisan manner.

This is Obama's war...sadly he hasn't a clue how to wage it...so per-usual he lets his handlers (advisers) do the heavy lifting...

We are aiding and abetting the 'enemy' - they will kill Gaddafi , then they will go after the rebels and then they will come for Americans....

RE: Obama signed secret order

How secret is the order when it’s in the news?

Maybe the hypocracy is even too much for the CIA to take.

Remember the attack in Afganistan that killed quite a few of their people. And that guy was supposedly a “friend” too.

From a West Point study of jihadists in Iraq:

A breakout of the hometowns of Libyan jihadists who showed up in Iraq:

Note that the 84% of the jihadists came from Darnah and Benghazi, both rebel strongholds that were (as pointed out in the West Point study) previously the scene of Islamist uprisings in the mid-1990's.

I can’t believe how warlike Mr. oBOMBa is!

He's war-like only when a war would be against US interests.

“CIA Operatives Are Aiding Rebels”
By ADAM ENTOUS

SNIPPET: “Under a secret order signed earlier in the month by President Barack Obama, the CIA received broad authorization to find ways to help Libyan rebels in their fight against Col. Gadhafi.

While the so-called presidential finding provided the CIA with the general authority to undertake unspecified covert operations with White House approval, it didn’t prescribe all of the specific ways in which the agency could provide that support, the officials said.

Officials say CIA operatives—and allied Western intelligence agencies—have been on the ground in Libya for weeks.”

How many billions will the EU (NATO) stand to write off owing and be able to seize if ghadafi is removed ?

Is this anything more than a drive by gangsta hit for profit ?

Has nobama beaten him self with the Nobel Peace Prize as yet? nobama, the Great Loser, has designs on America. He wants to overwhelm this society, making us all serfs to his minions. nobama’s anti-Americanism is so obvious it is painful to watch. Please, someone in Congress have some guts and go after these Free-America-hating SOBs. I know that is a lot to ask of the various feckless losers who inhabit the halls of Congress.
