How would Americans feel if they knew the Obama administration just agreed to hand people affiliated with a designated terrorist group a $30 billion dollar check and recognize them as the legitimate rulers of Libya?
Things werent looking so good for the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group back in 2004 when they were designated a foreign terrorist group by the State Department. In chilling testimony, then-CIA Director George Tenet warned the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2004 that even if Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda was completely destroyed, a global network of Islamic extremists bent on killing Americans had emerged. Tenet listed the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) as one of those groups.

Some one needs to cut his credit card!!!
Unreal.
This is exactly why we need to raise revenues and the debt ceiling. Wouldn’t want the govt to run out of funds for good causes.
I remember President Bush talking about the Coalition of the Willing and how you may never know how some countries are helping us and who they are. Well, follow the Arab Spring and you know for sure who was providing a lot of tactictal support behing the scenes.

comrades, stupid do, stupid does.
I thought Barkey hated billionaires...
Well let's see:
1. A majority of Americans couldn't tell you on which continent Libya can be found, much less even spell it correctly...
2. A majority of Americans are insufficiently literate financially to be able to understand what kind of money and power $30 billion represents....
3. A majority of Americans elected to the Presidency an individual they knew absolutely nothing about, except that he was black, and American female voters all thought he was really, really cute, and besides, he had the NICEST dimples anyway...
4. To a majority of Americans, a "designated terrorist group" means some white guys with two first names and crewcuts hanging out in northern Wyoming driving hi-rise mudders and target shooting with live ammunition.
So, what's there to feel anything about?
I always though that the President can promise anything he wants but it is the Congress that actually authorizes the expenditures.
And some ask why we have a debt ceiling. As is the executive branch should have a credit card with no limits.
Precisely.
And most do not know what a Ghazi is, and that one occupies OUR White House.
Who approves the spending of this $30 Billion? Does it not have to go to the House for approval?
Was not an expenditure, it was daffy’s money that stole out of us banks, showing every country in the world it is not safe to have your money in the united states.
Guess I should have said “our” credit card.
You nailed it.
