PAPER: Obama asks Saudi Arabia to supply Libyan rebels with weapons... Developing...

Saudis and Libya not buddy’s. Yet Muslim Brotherhood and White House are. I do not think MB and Saudi Royal family see eye to eye do they?

Not always, but often. According to this article:
"Although, it has been an open secret that Saudi Arabia promoted MB with its financial power, it tries to maintain a safe distance from them to show the world that it has nothing to do with this Egypt-born organization. But factually, in the absence of modern education and knowledge of foreign languages to Wahhabi Ulema, the Saudi Kingdom has been using qualified and well traveled MB leaders not only in dealing with modern world but also in asserting its leadership in Muslim world. "

IOW we sell to the saudis who in turn give guns to lybia.

I doubt it will be the rebels who get the guns.

Obama is such a jimmy carter.

This is probably the last thing that Saudi Arabia wants to do. One OPEC nation going against another.

I just thought that I would bump this article to the top in light of the Drudge article, reporting that the weapons that the terrorists at the Algerian oil and gas facility were carrying weapons from Libya.

Now, I’m wondering if these weapons were more of the same weapons that the Al Qaeda militants in Benghazi used?
