Quadafi, without consulting his “subjects” states to the world he will kill Libyans that resist him.

Obama, secretly, and underhandedly, does the same thing.

And the difference in these two is.........?

Here’s another link: (Posted: 1:23 PM Mar 29, 2011)

http://www.witn.com/news/headlines/Marines_Headed_Off_Libyan_Coast_118851704.html?ref=704

“Thousands of Marines from Camp Lejeune, Cherry Point and New River are preparing to head to waters off Libya.

Nearly 2,200 Marines and sailors with the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit are preparing the ships they will be deploying with during their mission to the Mediterranean Sea. The USS Bataan is currently docked at the Morehead City State Port.

The 22nd MEU will relieve the 26th MEU which has been involved with Libyan air strikes and with the rescue mission of a downed Air Force pilot last week.

Colonel Eric Steidl, commander of the 22nd MEU, would not say if they will have any missions in Libya but the colonel says the 22nd MEU has the ability to perform a wide variety of missions.

The 22nd MEU is deploying three months earlier than originally scheduled because the 26th MEU left North Carolina waters early to help with flood relief efforts in Pakistan. “

If we have been providing close air support the past few days, I would think there would be some coordination with the rebels on the ground. I would assume there was coordination between the rebels on the ground and air support so we are not strafing rebels.This would not be unreasonable.I am not sure but perhaps this is the covert support they are referring to.

The difference is that Quadafi is maintaining order in his own country, while Obama has no business being there.

Okay what will it take for someone to do their damned jobs and start impeachment proceedings?

This better be it.

A sitting US President authorized support for terrorists.
And Maddow will be on tonight saying how great Obama is.

Right now, somewhere along the Libyan coast, there’s a future John Kerry listening to Christmas carols...

What evidence do you have that the Rebels armed are terrorists?

But now the Brotherhood is siding with the rebellion.

In February, as protests in Libya began, Yusuf al Qaradawi -- an Egyptian preacher in Qatar widely viewed as the Muslim Brotherhood's chief spiritual guide -- issued a fatwa or religious ruling obliging any Libyan soldier who had the opportunity to do so to assassinate the leader.

Al-Amin Bilhaj, a leading figure in the Libyan Muslim Brotherhood and the President of the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) recently traveled to Benghazi, the headquarters of the rebel movement, according to Hresha.

In none of the pieces you referenced did it say that those being armed were Al Qaeda.

Who is being armed? Don’t give me may or possibly or such.

The main reason such findings have to be secret is...

drumroll....

to keep the American public from finding out that their President lied to them.

then and now....
