Senior Libyan rebel officers sold Hizballah and Hamas thousands of chemical shells from the stocks of mustard and nerve gas that fell into rebel hands when they overran Muammar Qaddafis military facilities in and around Benghazi, DEBKAfiles exclusive military and intelligence sources report.
Word of the capture touched off a scramble in Tehran and among the terrorist groups it sponsors to get hold of their first unconventional weapons.
According to our sources, the rebels offloaded at least 2,000 artillery shells carrying mustard gas and 1,200 nerve gas shells for cash payment amounting to several million dollars.
US and Israeli intelligence agencies have tracked the WMD consignments from eastern Libya as far as Sudan in convoys secured by Iranian agents and Hizballah and Hamas guards. They are not believed to have reached their destinations in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, apparently waiting for an opportunity to get their deadly freights through without the US or Israel attacking and destroying them.

The bad guys.
Some of Juan McCain's "heroes" no doubt. With the sale of all that mustard gas to Iran and other terrorists, and the additional support Juan is asking for on their behalf, those hero rebels will soon have much more stuff to work with.

Horrible, if true. This is from DEBKA though.
Good question - what are we even doing there in Libya?
I hope this shit turns out better.
Not good but consider the source.
Poses a serious threat to our ally Israel (OUR ally; not Obama’s).
The Obama administration doesnt know who its dealing with in Libya, Clizbe says. They dont have an entry plan. They dont have an exit plan. The strategy doesnt seem to be anything more than hope and change.
Ex-CIA agent chimes in:

This would actually be good news in a perverse way. If the towel heads use chemical weapons, the Israekis would be forced to wipe them out in retaliation.

Well, we participated in the initial No Fly Zone, the continued to participate after it was turned over to NATO. Since most official statements have said Gaddafi needs to go, and a few have said we should stay out of it.
Of course, John McCain is over there calling the rebels heroes and advocating more aid for them.
Pretty much sums up my thoughts on this.
Then I read the source. Debka. Should have known.
Sigh...
You’re not supposed to post obscenity on FR!
I dont believe it.
The rebels are only 1000
Gadffhi gave up his wmd in 2003
He came running to give it up “please dont hurt me”
I dont support any of them. we have no vested interest there.
Gadaffhi was playing nice.
Who the fudge are the rebels?
WE have no interest in Libya.
Now Obama has NATO engaged, and the last word is that NATO is getting its ass kicked, so they are wooing algeria,egypt, chad and tunisia to assist helping the great NATO.
This is going very badly.
We have no interest in the matter but have declared that we cant take ata 3rd world nomad desert country, and we are calling on more Bedouins to muddy the fight.
I apologize. I get old school when I get drunk. I just see a few similarities to our current action and those far off days.

No appology needed.....looking at Westy’s face again is enough to make anyone drink!
He’s the poster boy for incompetent Military leadership.
Well, McCain said the rebels are “his” heros.
