TimesCast | Libyan Rebels Recognized Readers’ Comments Share your thoughts. Post a Comment » Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said at an international gathering held to discuss the Libyan conflict that Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi’s government no longer had any legitimacy, and that the United States would join more than 30 countries in extending diplomatic recognition to the main opposition group, known as the Transitional National Council.
“We will help the T.N.C. sustain its commitment to the sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and national unity of Libya,” Mrs. Clinton said, “and we will look to it to remain steadfast in its commitment to human rights and fundamental freedoms.”
The decision by Washington not only increased diplomatic pressure on Colonel Qaddafi to step down, but also held the prospect of funneling money to rebels to propel an offensive that has proceeded in fits and starts.

That is a lot per Rebel. Wonder how much they are kicking back.
I am sending IRS an IOU.
Obama is a terrorist.
Supposed to be Congress but Bambi got his bad self a nice big slush fund to play with during the bailout. He seems to use that when ever and for whatever he wants.
” It’s like a very bad acid trip. “
Worse.....I understand one can recover from that.
We need to notify the 15,000 person Mob in Dallas trying to kill each other for a Housing Section 8 voucher that Obama just gave 30 billion bucks to 3000 Libyan “rebels”. Then we should provide Bus Service to Al Sharptons Mansion. This is Pathetic and disgusting. It should be Impeachable.
10 million per rebel. My God this is so sad.
Pelosi never did.
But acid trips end.
Impeachable? Yes. This is about the 10th thing the O Admin. has done that is impeachable. But we can’t even get Boner & McConnell to stand up for blocking the debt increase, let alone impeachment.
” Pelosi never did. “
She is merely a rabid Marxist psychopath
10 million per rebel. My God this is so sad.
That is exactly the gig.
They are the MB’s support group. When the MB take over in Egypt, they will need revenue to continue their assault on Israel and the West.
Barry is doing his best to help.
Then we wonder why the commodity market place is rocktting.... he has totally changed the war trajectory in the mid east... so there is HUGE risk being injected into day to day living and commerce. Globally.
I don’t know why Bohner doesn’t go on TV and tell “grandma” that SS is safe, and the checks will continue coming out of Clintons lockbox until the cows come home. When he is corrected by a 0bama minion, he can express shock that the money has been spent. This will serve the purpose of making the Dims finally admit that the money is gone, there is no lockbox, and SS is a drag on the economy instead of fully funded. You gotta take a victory every chance you get it.
Speaking of which...
Boy the ‘tens of thousands’ of anti-war leftists screaming about GWB and ‘war crimes’ sure are quiet these days. Oh that’s right They are after Israel now. I wonder why.
10 million per rebel and there were 5000 of his “people” in a stampede in Dallas for 3,800 section 8 vouchers where 8 were injured in the violence. Now where is Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson? This is beyond the pale. How will the MSM justify it? I wrote an e-mail to the morning joe show about it. Bet it will not be covered. Ten Million TAX FREE bucks per REBEL! I am calling my RAT legislators.
That’s exactly what the Repubs need to do. But they are pussified or blackmailed into silence.
Why do we have to do it when we are paying them 175,000 Obamabucks a year. This is getting bad.
