Let’s Work Closely with the Rebels
Commentary Magazine ^ | 3/24/11 | Max Boot

The White House and Africa Command have insisted that we are not coordinating air strikes with the Libyan rebels. I suppose it all depends on the meaning of “coordinate.” The Los Angeles Times reveals: Leaders of the opposition national council in rebel-controlled eastern Libya say they are making regular, secure contacts with allied military representatives in Europe to help commanders identify targets for the U.S.-led air assault. The contacts, conducted through the council’s civilian representatives in France and elsewhere in Europe, are made by secure satellite telephone connections

This sound a lot like our coordination with the Kosovo Liberation Army during the blue dress war. I sure hope it isn't.

Probably those same secure communications they use to coordinate their riots in Paris every so often.

UNKO, maybe France has an ulterior purpose here, get rid of Moarmar and export all their Mussies to Lybia?

Iran has been planning this for some time it seems.

The name to look for is Mahamoud Jidrel. I saw this on an English Al-Jezeera web-site yesterday. He’s the defacto rebel leader whom the Brits and the French regard as their new man in Tripoli.

Protect Rebels = regime change. The French aren’t playing word games.

Regime Change = al Queda probably so, but indirectly as France’s guy Jibril is forced to give Muslim Brotherhood power.

This will be the greatest victory Al Quaeda has ever accomplished. All they have to do is produce a few cell phone videos with some background noise and place a few calls to select diplomats. NATO is taking care of the rest and supplying all the money, bombs and planes.

All they have to do is stand on top of some military equipment that someone else has destroyed, flash the peace sign and shoot into the air. And we, along with the other numbnuts in NATO have no idea who they are or what they will do with Libya once we have handed it to them. Meanwhile, we have sacrificed our intelligence, our honor and any credibility we may have had in the world, along with our morals, to commit what can only be called “selective murders” under the guise of humanitarianism and just to save the face of Hildabeast and our America-hating, Marxist President. Only the death of Quadafi will insure that the depth to which the United States Government was doing legitimate business with said “ruthless dictator” can be covered up.

If we can do that, there is no problem of what to do with all the enemy combatants in Gitmo. All we have to do is invoke international mob rule and blow the whole place off the map, inmates and all. After all, didn’t they “supposedly” attack Americans? No trial needed, no proof required. Just kill ‘em!

Is that where he explained to her how his people really hoped that they would be the ones slaughtering Gadafly's supporters, but it just didn't turn out that way....yet.

Exactly!

Notice how the press has never described who the “rebels” are? Only that Gaddafi is being mean to them and civilians...
