I'm pretty sure it had something to do with this guy...

His name is Abdelhakim Belhaj. Some in the Middle East might have, but few in the West and across the world would have heard of him.
Time to catch up. Because the story of how an al-Qaeda asset turned out to be the top Libyan military commander in still war-torn Tripoli is bound to shatter - once again - that wilderness of mirrors that is the "war on terror", as well as deeply compromising the carefully constructed propaganda of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO's) "humanitarian" intervention in Libya.
Muammar Gaddafi's fortress of Bab-al-Aziziyah was essentially invaded and conquered last week by Belhaj's men - who were at the forefront of a militia of Berbers from the mountains southwest of Tripoli. The militia is the so-called Tripoli Brigade, trained in secret for two months by US Special Forces. This turned out to be the rebels' most effective militia in six months of tribal/civil war. Already last Tuesday, Belhaj was gloating on how the battle was won, with Gaddafi forces escaping "like rats" (note that's the same metaphor used by Gaddafi himself to designate the rebels).

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
so our young men and women were used as cannon fodder to help alqaeda gain control of this country?
I’m not going to give Obama the credit, but there is a master strategist at work here. Things are going horribly wrong — just as planned.
Oh, no....
ask Obama and his spin doctors.
It was about the arab spring and spreading democracy. Nato was not used, America was not used and Alqaeda were not the main beneficiaries. No, it was about freeing the people , restoring rights , liberty and freedom.
It was a collaborative effort of the freedom fighters!
America was used by the MB, Obama, Alqaeda and Iran.
Obama? Should be impeached. The North African caliphate which Obama backs is being aligned to whack our ally Israel. Once they have the little Satan, they will be onto the big satan. Rest assured. Thats you and me. In the meanwhile, Obama is allowing Iran to go nuclear.
Obama should be impeached on many levels, endangering our troops, getting America involved in furthering the aims of Islam - to our detriment, which is both treasounous and seditious. The b’tard is nothing more than a trojan.
Right on the money!!! African Muslim POTUS Obama has had this planned from the very beginning!!! Now, African Muslim, POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama has successfully converted all of the Middle East to the full control of his beloved Muslim Brotherhood cronies. And......yes let the killing and murder of African Black Christians and Israeli Jews commence as Obama so fervently desires!!! What a guy!!!! Are you happy now America????
As many of us predicted at the outset of our intervention.
bump.
This is madness!
They got to rule because our dear Barry wanted it that way. When he saw that there wouldn’t be an outright Muslim Brotherhood victory in Egypt but rather some degree of power sharing, he went for having an Islamic State of al-Qaeda. That way he will have excuse to negotiate with al-Qaeda outright rather than through the Muslim Brotherhood as he and Hillary originally planned. Barry is a dedicated Moozlim in of the same stripe as the Moozlim socialists who have ruled the ME ever since WWII. When democracy and “western” ideas are a threat to the totalitarian fascists in that part of the world they always allow the Muslim Brotherhood crowd to get power for a while so people will be glad to have the alternative fascists back in power.
I think Sarkozy, Cameron and Obama jointly deserve a Nobel Prize for their successful Libyan Campaign.
No, not the already devalued Peace Prize, but the Literature Prize for their war propaganda.
History shows revolutions almost never lead to democracy and human rights. They usually lead to a takeover by the most ruthless, fanatical, well armed and organized faction.
In the 80's Al-Qaeda was financed, trained, and armed by the US to attack the Russians.
In the 90's Al-Qaeda was financed, trained, and armed by the US to attack the Serbs.
In the 2010's Al-Qaeda was financed, trained and armed by the US to attack the Libyans.
Does anybody notice a pattern here.
