That would have made a heck of a campaign commercial if Mittens had had the guts. Barack Obama thinks American Citizens DON’T have the right to bear arms but will freely give away automatic weapons to Mexican drug lords or Al Qaeda associated groups.

Like FAST and FURIOUS (supported by the US Congress
apparently), these weapons were delivered to
kill Americans by the score (here by the hundreds).

Obama and Holder and Clinton have as much contempt
for Americans as they do for ... what was once
the US Constitution.

NOW they tell us.

But then most of us already suspected this.

Well, well. The New York Times is printing a story that shines a negative light on the administration and its dealing with Libya.

And will you look at that? The story is coming out nearly one month, to the day, AFTER the election.

Quite the coincidence.

But in the months before, the Obama administration clearly was worried about the consequences of its hidden hand in helping arm Libyan militants, concerns that have not PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPORTED.

That would only be because The Times has not reported it.

There are many of us who have known this for months.

It was known. Maybe NOT by you, and I, but it was known within the system. You can’t keep that stuff under wraps. Somebody knew, and was CS to open up, or “leak” it to the appropriate press.

This is a thug government we have today.

mojito~:” The Obama administration secretly gave its blessing to arms shipments to Libyan rebels from Qatar last year, but American officials later grew alarmed as evidence grew that Qatar was turning some of the weapons over to Islamic militants, according to United States officials and foreign diplomats.”

Too bad none of the weapons used in Benghazi were left behind so that they could be traced back to see if they oringinated from the US/Qatar supply system.
Maybe thats what the 27 day delay to getting the Dept. of “Just-Us” investigators there was all about : delay while the location gets santized .
At least in “ Fast and Furious “ weapons were dropped so as to not link the killing weapon to the user ; no such concern or fear exists , especially in the 27 day delay since the Benghazi attack .

“To do this right, you have to have on-the-ground intelligence and you have to have experience,” said Vali Nasr, a former State Department adviser

Haha. A not-so-subtle dig at the Community Organizer's very shallow background.

I added a few words they seem to have left out.

There was no US approval.

This was an ILLEGAL WAR (use their terms!) and President Obama ordered weapons be given to rebels.

The American people and Congress had nothing to do with this.

Since we’re arming the drug cartels, we might as well arm the Jihadi’s, too. After all, redisribution is the apex of fairness, isn’t it? The depths of this administration’s corruption and incompetence are still unchartered.

Having armed Al Qaeda in Libya to overthrow Ghaddafi

0bama next moved to ship those same arms to Al Qaeda in Syria to overthrow Assad.

That’s a cover-up big enough to kill Americans and keep anyone else who knows quaking in their boots.

Lots of people know what was going on. They’ve seen 0bama have people killed to protect the Al Qaeda arms running racket.

Who wants to speak up and be the next to be inconveniently DEAD?

Baloney. If you get your news here, you knew from almost day one that the "rebels" included Al Qaeda commanders and jihadists from all over the known universe.

Now they are acting shocked! shocked! that their weapons went to the jihadists, blaming Qatar no less, all the while they are recruiting those same jihadists and sending them on to Syria for Libya Two.

Just like Qaddaffi said.

We helped the underdog jihadists in Libya.

We helped the underdog jihadists in Egypt.

We are thinking about helping the underdog jihadists in Syria.

The underdog insurrection in Iran aimed at jihadists we watched die on the streets.

The pattern is really easy to spot.
