REPORT: Obama signed secret order authorizing covert U.S. support for rebel forces in Libya...developing..... Just a head line for now....
Well, I guess it’s not a secret anymore.
Impeachable offense.
I wonder why Obama is providing weapons to a group that includes known members of Al Qaida?
No No this must be a mistake. He never lies.

(Reuters) - President Barack Obama has signed a secret order authorizing covert U.S. government support for rebel forces seeking to oust Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, government officials told Reuters on Wednesday.
Obama signed the order, known as a presidential “finding”, within the last two or three weeks, according to four U.S. government sources familiar with the matter.
Such findings are a principal form of presidential directive used to authorize secret operations by the Central Intelligence Agency. The CIA and the White House declined immediate comment.

In order to gain American hostages....
True, plus they said that Camp Lejune marines were heading that way.
BUT, he lied and again was not straight forward...and we are all very tired of it because lives are being put at risk, On top of it all, Congress still has not authorized this action. Like Dennis Kucinich said ‘Obama is not a King’. (Can’t believe I just quoted Kucinich).
But Dennis sure did go along with the coronation when it was all about domestic policy, didn't he.
Go chew on an olive pit, Kucinich.
Muslim Communist
I guess that was a secret and I wasn't supposed to read it.
At the rate the Loyalists are regaining ground, he's going to need the 82nd Airborne to stop a fiaso ...
Is the runway busy there at Fort Bragg ??? Anyone ???
I see the scenario of a banker watching the loaner peeling recklessly out of the bank parking lot in a brand new car he'd just purchased with the load he'd just gotten from the bank.
Seriously (Chinese / American Politics aside) how long will they continue letting us borrow?
Now add the Chinese/American politics into the issue... that's just another nudge towards China saying THAT'S ENOUGH!
Hey, Bammy-babe, guess what, the CIA is an equal-opportunity backstabber and rug-puller-out-from-under-the-Presydent.
They did it to Bush, they can do it to you. But you more or less became an irresistible target for this when you created such a screwed up, unthought-through, stoooooooppppppiiiiiiiddddd policy
and lied about it.
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE? screw spelling
CORRECTION: loaner=BORROWER

News that Obama had given the authorization surfaced as the President and other U.S. and allied officials spoke openly about the possibility of sending arms supplies to Gaddafi’s opponents, who are fighting better-equipped government forces.”

People familiar with U.S. intelligence procedures said that Presidential covert action “findings” are normally crafted to provide broad authorization for a range of potential U.S. government actions to support a particular covert objective.
In order for specific operations to be carried out under the provisions of such a broad authorization — for example the delivery of cash or weapons to anti-Gaddafi forces — the White House also would have to give additional “permission” allowing such activities to proceed.
Former officials say these follow-up authorizations are known in the intelligence world as “’Mother may I’ findings.”
In 2009 Obama gave a similar authorization for the expansion of covert U.S. counter-terrorism actions by the CIA in Yemen. The White House does not normally confirm such orders have been issued....”

Your children will live only for our people,
who now include al Qaeda, to give up their organs, their money,
until they will be beheaded as worthless crackers.”
