US paves way to arm Libyan rebels

Hillary Clinton has paved the way for the United States to arm the Libyan rebels by declaring that the recent UN security council resolution relaxed an arms embargo on the country.

As Libya's opposition leaders called for the international community to arm them, the secretary of state indicated that the US was considering whether to meet their demands when she talked of a "work in progress".

The US indicated on Monday night that it had not ruled out arming the rebels, though it was assumed this would take some time because of a UN arms embargo which applies to all sides in Libya.

But Clinton made clear that UN security council resolution 1973, which allowed military strikes against Muammar Gaddafi's regime, relaxed the embargo. Speaking after the conference on Libya in London, Clinton said: "It is our interpretation that [resolution] 1973 amended or overrode the absolute prohibition of arms to anyone in Libya so that there could be legitimate transfer of arms if a country were to choose to do that. We have not made that decision at this time."

War and Rumor of Wars

from New Zeal: "Preemptive Anarchy"

The above links reveal Soros' fingerprints all over R2P...

What with recent headlines about

1) his efforts to change the US Constitution,

2) reorganize the global economic system,

3) his suggestion that Western democracies would do well to model China's leadership, and

4) his funding of "criminal front group" (Atty Mark Levin's evaluation) Media Matters to ensure the US media is in state-controlled lock-down mode in time for the upcoming Presidential election,

Soros has certainly become comfortable (almost power-drunk) lately with his high visibility.

It means no flies!

Good idea: let’s arm and train al Queda. :)

The Middle East is on fire in a whole list of countries, but the only one we intervene in is Libya. Why? Well, I believe that Libya is at least on the face of the matter, a test case for R2P. If the UN and world powers are successful in getting away with going in with military might to determine who rules that country in the name of security and protection, what is to stop them from going into any country they please for virtually any reason they can manufacture? Who will stop them? Next on the docket for R2P: Israel and the US.

Looks like the Iranian nutjob isn't the only one who looks at Israel & the US as the "little satan" and "great satan," respectively.

The speed of recent events are breathtaking..., and I am having difficulty keeping up with worthwhile FR news threads and comments (let alone offer worthwhile contributions).

I wanted to at least collect some of this Soros activity in one spot, but I especially thought your reply to another one of my posts was also cogent and typically FN (lol).

Socialism has sent Europe broke. Anything to take the stench away. Attack Israel...keep the muzzies on side - hoping that the crocodile will eat them last. [emphasis mine]

Goodbye Europe.

UN chief: End occupation, divide Jerusalem

Ban Ki-moon says occupation is morally and politically unsustainable and must therefore end. 'A way must be found for Jerusalem to emerge as a capital of two States,' (3/30/2011)

Look for many of those American weapons to end up in the hands of the al-Qaeda enemy we`re fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some will show up with “for sale” tags at street bazaars in Benghazi.

Where are the protesters?

In a mess of empty Cheetos bags, complaining about the "war on teachers," and playing Xbox.

What’s your point? Who is the common enemy?

[Soothesayer9]

"Don't you have to train them?

And that kind of training usually falls to the Green Berets and other specialized military groups. Now they will be training the very people they were fighting in Afghan.

Irony.

[Soothesayer9]

I say pull out of the entire region and let them have at each other. That is what they do best.

So far baraq has been consistent on that.

He did say that he would stand with islam.
