The Obama administration secretly gave its blessing to arms shipments to Libyan rebels from Qatar last year, but American officials later grew alarmed as evidence grew that Qatar was turning some of the weapons over to Islamic militants, according to United States officials and foreign diplomats.
No evidence has emerged linking the weapons provided by the Qataris during the uprising against Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi to the attack that killed four Americans at the United States diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, in September.
But in the months before, the Obama administration clearly was worried about the consequences of its hidden hand in helping arm Libyan militants, concerns that have not previously been reported. The weapons and money from Qatar strengthened militant groups in Libya, allowing them to become a destabilizing force since the fall of the Qaddafi government.

America almost Sh*t when Reagan armed the Contra’s who were Freedom Fighters, but Obama arming Al Quaeda is just fine.
Th media never even mentioned it.
Al Quaeda no longer needs Osama Bin Laden, they have a greater friend now Osama bin Obama.
HuH??? The rebeles are the Izlamists...Who doesn’t know that??? Same in Egypt and Syria...
Well, duh !
Just like Qaddaffi said.
We helped the underdog jihadists in Libya.
We helped the underdog jihadists in Egypt.
We are thinking about helping the underdog jihadists in Syria.
The underdog insurrection in Iran aimed at jihadists we watched die on the streets.
The pattern is really easy to spot.

Yep. Now, talking points are being lined up for Syria intervention.
First, chemical weapons in Syria. Now today:

Does that mean that now that the MB and Al Qaeda are in place and fortified, US/NATO must go in and help this endangered and suffering population so that they can depose Assad and hold a democratic election?
That’s the truth.
If the FBI had stayed more than 3 hours on site, and had done their job, they could have collected schrappenel and had metalurgical studies on the fragments and determined where the weapons originated. If they were ours, then we can conclude that obama armed the branch of al Quadea who used our arms to kill our people. Thanks obama. We will never be told the truth.
They figured we couldn't handle "information overload". Yes, many of us figured this out the first week. Now waiting until they show up on the Mexican border and into the U.S.
BTTT!
I wonder when the story will come out that Obama ordered the hit on Ambassador Stevens to clean up loose ends because if Israel found out Obama was arming its enemies, someday his face could light up with red lazer dots like he just broke out with the measels [/sarcasm]
You just published it. No need to add the sarcasm.
This is a Lib BS article. Trying to take blame off Obozo. Qatar was not instigating this, Obozo himself was.
He was the only person who could have given the Stand Down orders in Benghazi and the only person who could have refused Cross Border Authorization.
FUBO!
Yep. Soon Obama will start helping the Syrian opposition so the Syrians can have a “democratic election.” After that, the chemical weapons will be out of Assad’s hands and into those of the underdog jihadists, except at that point the jihadists will be the new “democratically elected” government of Syria.
Expect the administration to be “concerned” that the weapons they gave to the opposition may have ended up with Al Qaeda. And the administration will be “surprised” when the new government turns out to be a radical Islamist terrorist-supporting totalitarian regime.
It has to be intentional. I can’t believe that the administration and the intelligence agencies are too dumb to see that all of these revolutions are merely serving to put radical Islamists in power and give them direct control over military assets.
Several Arab royal families also spend their summers in Marbella for many years. Thus, there will be a meeting between Michelle Obama and Prince Salman bin Abdul Aziz, governor of Riyadh and brother of the late King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, while another meeting is shuffled from the first lady with the owner of Málaga CF, billionaire businessman, son of Qatar's Interior Minister and member of the Qatari royal family, Abdullah Al Thani.-----El Mundo
