(Al-Qaeda) Libyan Rebels Reclaim Oil Town Ajdabiya After Weeklong Siege
Fox News ^ | 3/26/2011 | fox news

Posted on 03/26/2011 4:51:12 AM PDT by tobyhill

Libyan rebels have overcome Muammar al-Qaddafi's forces in strategic oil town of Ajdabiya, seizing control of the city Saturday in a major turnaround for an uprising that appeared to be on the verge of defeat.

Libyan government forces pulled out from the city of Ajdabiya following an air assault by Western coalition forces, a senior government official told Reuters.

"Without the planes we couldn't have done this. Qaddafi's weapons are at a different level than ours," said Ahmed Faraj, 38, a rebel fighter from Ajdabiya. "With the help of the planes we are going to push onward to Tripoli, God willing."

Drivers honked in celebration and flew the tricolor rebel flag. Others in the city fired their guns into the air and danced on burned-out tanks that littered the road. Inside a building that had served as makeshift barracks for pro-Qaddafi forces, hastily discarded uniforms were piled on the floor.

Saif Sadawi, a 20-year-old rebel fighter with an RPG in his hands, says the city's eastern gate fell late Friday and the western gate fell at dawn Saturday after airstrikes on both those locations.

If I were a candidate for President like Trump, Palin...etc.

The public question of the week on The View would be...

Does Gadaffi have your birth certificate or know what it says on it?

They just seemed a little too close earlier in his presidency. And it is on video where Gadaffi pretty much endorsed Obama.

There was story released by Fox thursday that just last month Obama requested $1.7 million increase to go to Gadaffi. If that story's true. why?

Was Obama being blackmailed?

Have you seen this? Go to 1:00 and watch to 3:47.

If I were a candidate for President ...
there is only one that would have the fortitude to ask any such question.

Yes, I saw that Gadaffi video back around the time he made the speech. And had it in my collection of playlists

I did not see the second one though. That’s good!

Thanks so much

Ha! You already answered as I dorked around getting coffee while writing my last reply to you.

If that story's true. why?

Why would you doubt the truthfulness of that story? It is well documented.

Was Obama being blackmailed?

What an excellent question. Was the increase approved? Maybe Daffi want more. Perhaps there was a disagreement between Barry and Daffi...like maybe Barry told him to lay of AQ and the MB?

So many questions and NO answers!

I was the one that posted it here actually:

Obama Requested $1.7 Million Increase To Qaddafi 1 Month before US Attack

I saw a comment but I guess I misunderstood it:

Stupid Fox News. Which is it? Did Ubama increase it BY 1.7 million or TO 1.7 million. Man, I can't wait till Beck starts his own network. 21 posted on Thursday, March 24, 2011 4:15:21 PM by Texas Eagle

I guess the question Texas Eagle had was about the amount of money.

Before when I saw "Stupid Fox News" I figured Fox jumped the gun and it was not a confirmed story yet. So, you're right. It's still true.

Fox and Friends was all over a humorous piece by Jay Leno. Jay made fun of Congress and then said something like, “No wonder Obama didn't want Congress’ advice.”

Then the F&F fill-ins parroted “...low ratings..why get Congress’ advice...?”

It is absolutely amazing that they both used the word “advice.”

The president doesn't get Congress’ advice. He gets their PERMISSION.

The media, including Fox News, is totally in the tank on this war.

“Who is the puppetmaster?” is the only question.

Actually it was post number 6 that lead me to believe the story was not true. Didn’t really understand what he was saying. Maybe he was making a < sarc Im not sure

I know, but didn't want to embarrass you by pointing that out. ;*)

It appears to me that post #6 was being sarcastic.
Post #21 is being more of a stickler for facts instead of lazy journalism. At least that is how I took that post.

You are making me think far too much for a lazy Saturday morning. LOL!

Yeah I see what he means now.

So, in Feb 2011 Obama requests an increase to $1.7 million for Gadaffi's military

A month later Obama's over there destroying it.

Really fishy

George Soros and his NWO cabal.

I’d be more concerned with his cabal and his heirs. He is 81 and soon to be fertilizer for weeds.

There is something far more nefarious going on here.

Understandable xzins, but his children have been brought up and trained to follow in his footsteps along with other family members.

Maps & Graphs

From Wiki:
Married and divorced twice, Soros has three children with Annaliese Witschak (Robert, Andrea, Jonathan) and two with Susan Weber Soros (Alexander and Gregory). His elder brother, Paul Soros, also a private investor and philanthropist, is an engineer, who headed Soros Associates and established the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowships for Young Americans.[13][14]

George Soros' nephew Peter Soros, a son of Paul Soros, married the former Flora Fraser – a daughter of Lady Antonia Fraser and the late Sir Hugh Fraser and a stepdaughter of the late 2005 Nobel Laureate Harold Pinter. Fraser and Soros separated in 2009. [15]

His son Alexander Soros is also gaining prominence for his donations to social and political causes. Alexander led the list of student political donors in the 2010 election cycle

Excellent verse, my friend. For being the iron that sharpens iron, thank you.
