Should pay more attention to FR. Those ‘rebels’ we’re supporting are basically the Muslim Brotherhood, who if they won would find common cause with aQ. It wouldn’t be Somalia, it’d be Yemen.
If Qaddafi won, he would find common cause with aQ. Then it’d be worse than Iran, because Qaddafi isn’t incompetent. And neither are his state intelligence agencies.
I know AQ will eventually kill Kadaffi. They have tried before and they will again. They do NOT like his kind.
