White House sources confirm that in the run up to the decision to involve U.S. military personnel, President Obama was fully briefed that a large portion of the Libyan rebel forces most active in areas around such critical cities as Benghazi had ties to al Qaeda, particularly Al Qaeda in Iraq, the wing of the terrorist group that killed hundreds of U.S. troops in Iraq....
"Secretary Clinton knows it, the White House knows it, but we're working with these thugs anyway because the President thinks it's the moral thing to do in the face of Gaddafi."

The Air Force and Navy servicemembers that are being ordered to carry out this mission probably feel the same way that I felt in the summer of 1980 when I was a U.S. Naval officer, just starting my active duty obligation, with Jimmy Carter as my Commander-in-Chief.
You have sworn to uphold the the Constitution of the United States but the American voters gave you a Commader-in-Chief that was totally clueless. You feel utterly frustrated that the American voters elected such an incompetent Commander-in-Chief.
Barack Obama is just as incompetent as Jimmy Carter ever was in handling the situation of the Shah of Iran. Jimmy Carter got into the "Let's overthrow the Shah of Iran" chess game and Barack Obama got into the "Let's overthrow Gadhafi" chess game without ever bothering to study what would happen beyond the first move of "Pawn to King 4".
Barack Obama had not thought out the chess game beyond the extremely naïve notion that you can:
1.) Topple Gadhafi so that
2.) America can then Cut & Run so that
3.) The Democracy Fairy can wave her Magic Wand and everybody lives happily ever after
The three major problems with that childishly naïve lunacy is that:
1.) There is no such thing as a Democarcy Fairy
2.) In all of military history, air power has never, ever, secured a single square mile of territory. To secure territorry, you need "boots on the ground". The 8th Air Force may have flattened East Berlin in World War II but East Berlin became Communist because, after the bombing, it was the Soviets with "boots on the ground" there.
3.) The one warring faction that is pouring fighters into Libya in order to have "boots on the ground" to secure the final Victory in Libya is al Qaeda. ("Thank you, U.S. air power, for giving us the future Billions of dollars of Libyan oil revenues that we will use to kill Americans!")
After his intial blunder, saner heads at the Pentagon pointed out to Obama:
"Mr. President, what about the fact that al Qaeda has been flooding Libya with radical Islamist fighters in order to be the only warring faction with the necessary "boots on the ground" to secure the final control over Libya? You specifically expect to "get out" and leave a power vacuum in Libya that al Qaeda is already mobilized to fill? It will turn over Libya and it's oil wealth over to the Islamic radicals just as surely as Jimmy Carter's blundering with another dictator turned Iran over to the Islamist fanatics."
Then, Obama realized what an idiot he has been.
"What should I do now? How can I fix this?"
"Stalemate, Mr. President. We will claim a stalemate. With Gadhafi still in power, we can use him as a proxy to keep the radical Islamists in check just like Georgw H. W. Bush used Saddam to keep the Iranian-backed, radical Islamists in southern Iraq in check in 1991 after the Gulf War."
So, the Pentagon starts making statements about "Stalemate".
This is the Charlie Foxtrot that happens when voters support a ridiculously unprepared and unqualified Affirmative Action candidate just because they absolutely adore how that candidate looks and sounds without ever bothering to figure out if that candidate would lead America into FUBAR after FUBAR through sheer ignorance and incompetence.
The foreign affairs incompetency is having such a damaging effect on the future vital interests of the United States that many people actually wonder if Barack Obama is a secret al Qaeda supporter. How else to explain how somebody can be that clueless?
However, you do not have to be a secret al Qaeda supporter to get America into such a FUBAR and hand Billions of dollars of future oil revenue over to al Qaeda.
You just have to be so utterly unqualified to be Commander-in-Chief that you actually have the extremely naïve notion that you can:
1.) Topple Gadhafi so that
2.) America can then Cut & Run so that
3.) The Democracy Fairy can wave her Magic Wand and everybody lives happily ever after
Case in point:
"So what our president said at first, that our mission is to see Qaddafi go, he's got to go, but then we're told by one of his top advisers, the president's top advisers, saying, Well, no, really, Qaddafi is probably going to prevail on this. He's probably going to prevail over the opposition. And then our president changes the tune again, saying, Well, it's not our mission to oust Qaddafi. A lot of confusion. I would like to see, of course, as long as we're in it -- we better be in it to win it. And if there's doubt, we get out. Win it means Qaddafi goes and America gets to get on out of there and let the people of Libya create their own government" .... Sarah Palin in interview with Greta van Sustern
"But, Governor Palin, what about the fact that al Qaeda has been flooding Libya with radical Islamist fighters in order to be the only warring faction with the necessary "boots on the ground" to secure the final control over Libya? You specifically expect to "get out" and leave a power vacuum in Libya that al Qaeda is already mobilized to fill? It will turn over Libya and it's oil wealth over to the Islamic radicals just as surely as Jimmy Carter's blundering with another dictator turned Iran over to the Islamist fanatics."
"Umm ... What do you mean by "boots on the ground"? What's an "Islamist"? What does al Qaeda have to do with any of this and the Democracy Fairy?"
This is the Charlie Foxtrot that happens when ridiculously unprepared and unqualified voters support a ridiculously unprepared and unqualified Affirmative Action candidate...
In their defense, the disabling of many voters commenced the first day they attended kindgergarten and were required to put the brand new "school tools" their parents bought and sent along with them, on the big table so they could be distributed evenly.
His speech tonight will have a lot of double meaning words in it.
I think you pretty much nailed it.
“I wonder how it feels for the US Air Force to be serving as the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda air support? We are clearing away the impediments to establishment of a Greater Caliphate that will unite against the West”
I can hardly wait for Barry to splain it all to us tonight on TV. Donald Trump is starting to look better and better. He openly attacked this on Fox and Friends this morning. I have not heard a peep out of Mitchie the Kid McConnell or Tammy Faye Boehner so far.
Really good post and completely agree.
Mitch McConnell is on a islamofascist terrorist payroll. Check his links with Albanian narcoterrorist KLA.
Your whole theory is so absurd that...I believe every word.
