[Well, I sure they were Obama’s allies.. ]


Haftar is our guy. He lived round the corner from Langley for 2 decades. Problem is he either lacks popular support or competence. After how Karzai in Afghanistan and Allawi in Iraq turned out, in terms of being spectacularly incompetent, no one’s rushing to commit to Haftar until he shows he can at least win with the superior weaponry he’s been given, without the crutch of on-call unlimited air strikes by Uncle Sam. So far, he’s still slugging away.

Without Uncle Sam’s flying artillery to improve the odds, it could take Haftar years to win. And that’s if he has what it takes.

Maybe the Libyans don’t want to give their support to the CIA? Just thinking out loud.
