Thanks, bronxville. You have done a lot of study on this. Complicated mess isn’t it? After trying to wrap my head around all you said it looks like one of my basic assumptions is still good. 0 & H are at the very least very willing dupes of some fundamentalist Islamic group.
“I have met with these brave fighters, and they are not Al-Qaeda. To the contrary: They are Libyan patriots who want to liberate their nation. We should help them do it.” – Senator John McCain in Benghazi, Libya April 22, 2011." - They were duped, or in league TigersEye. And in what way were they helped? I just read an article about a Libyan-American who went over there to fight (by his picture, he looked like a salafist). He was trained to use an ak47 and a Belgium weapon. The latter would indicate they were armed by NATO. Who trained them?
