May 13, 2011 Libyan rebels visit White House - ask for money Rick Moran

The battlefield is a stalemate but that hasn't stopped the Libyan Transitional National Council from coming to Washington with its hand out.

We're already supporting them to the tune of $53 million in humanitarian aid and another $25 million in "non-lethal" military support. But rebel spokesman Mahmoud Jebril has bigger plans; he wants up to $180 million of the billions in Gaddafi's assets that have been frozen by US banks.

Fox News:

Though the rebels still suffer deep divisions over their leadership and purpose and seem to lack popular support outside of their tribal homeland in the east, Jebril makes a good face for the group in the U.S. He is American educated and was formerly a professor of planning at the University of Pittsburgh.

In this country, foreign "rebels" are portrayed as pro-Republic by the Left. The rebels are about as pro-Republic as the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

What did Obama do when they arrived? Called them fellow Muslim brothers or something? I bet he would completely kowtow to their demands from money to allowing them to pitch a Bedouin tent on the front yard of the white house.

For me if they visited this White House they are now the enemy!?????

So we taxpayers give REBELS money and they use it to hire democrat lobbyists to get more money. What a great scam.

I cannot help but be reminded of Saul Alinsky’s tribute to the first ‘rebel’.

This thing is about Soros wanting to control that $5T which Libya represents

George Soros and Bork Obunga are trying to perpetrate a bank robbery in broad daylight and using American military assets to do it.
