Hillary Clinton: UN Resolution Gives US Authority to Arm Al-Qaeda Linked Libyan Rebels
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, March 30, 2011, 5:14 AM
Worst. Administration. Ever.
NATO Supreme Allied Commander in Europe ADM James Stavridis told a committee yesterday that there are “flickers” of Al-Qaeda in the Libyan rebels ranks. Al-Qaeda also reportedly stole missiles recently from Gaddafi’s stockpiles.
Jennifer Griffin reported:
But those facts won’t stop the Obama Administration.
Hillary Clinton insisted yesterday that the UN resolution gave the US authority to arm the Al-Qaeda linked rebels.
The Independent reported:
The United States paved the way to arming rebel groups in Libya as leaders from nearly 40 countries met in London to discuss the next moves against Colonel Gaddafi’s regime.
The US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, said she believed that UN resolutions allowed for the “legitimate transfer of arms” to the rebels should any country wish to do so. She added that no decision had been made “at this time” by the US on arming the rebels.
William Hague, the Foreign Secretary, said that while Libya was under a United Nations-mandated arms embargo that did not mean arming the rebels was impossible. France said it would also consider supplying weapons. “I remind you it is not part of the UN resolution… but we are ready to discuss it with our partners,” the French Foreign Minister, Alain Juppé, said.

I LOVE it when the Post-National Socialists now defend Blood for Oilbama by saying that he’s only doing like Bush did. Didn’t they tell us that their Obamessiah would usher in a new millennium and free us from the anachronisms of the aevil Bush era?! When they defend Blood for Oilbama by comparing him to Bush, aren’t they demolishing his entire rationale for being? When you toss renditions, Predator drones, Gitmo, etc. into the mix, it become laughable.
SMART POWER! WINNING! (THE FUTURE)

Really. Just imagine — yet again, for the millionth time — if this had been Bush or Palin.
Betsy Ross commented:
It’s beyond imagination that one day the USA would be arming al qaeda….
and using US troops to defend them…
horrible….horrible…horrible….

Re: my #2
Could he be doing this on purpose? Just another middle finger? I can’t think of anyone who couldn’t pronounce “Libya”. This has to be on purpose, sort of a test to see (and laugh) the MSM completely ignore it in their complete subservient fear. Gotta be.

Obama and Holden, AL Qaeda are their “people”.

Eyedee,
Silly wingnut.///
Didn’t you read that part of the resolution that empowers them to not only arm and train ‘rebels’, it also empowers BO to bypass Congress and put troops on the ground, too?
Sure it does. They’ll lie and the MSM will swear to it. And the parroting left will nod their collective heads and say, “What he said!!”
(Btw, a ‘rebel’ is defined to include terrorists.)

Ginger…he thinks he’s the 12th Imam
Consider this:
According to the tradition, Imam Ali Ibn Abi-Talib (the prophet’s cousin and son-in-law) prophesied that at the End of Times and just before the return of the Mahdi, the Ultimate Saviour, a “tall black man will assume the reins of government in the West.”Commanding “the strongest army on earth,” the new ruler in the West will carry “a clear sign” from the third imam, whose name was Hussein Ibn Ali. The tradition concludes: “Shiites should have no doubt that he is with us.”

They’ll be arming Al Qaeda only if the House allows them to. Defund it. They will one day use those weapons against the United States. The House of Representatives needs to start acting like the House of Representatives and not some club led by John Boehner. If he and the other light weight Eric Cantor can’t do their duty, step aside so someone else with courage will. Give it to Col. Allen West. He is the one with the know how.
Mrs. Galt commented:
Roosevelt: Gen. Patton, I’m the Commander in Chief. You will immediately arm Nazis to fight alongside your men and sleep in your barracks. Don’t worry, these are “good Nazis.”
Gen. Patton: You can $# *%^&, sir.
Try substituting Muslim for Nazi and change a couple names. We’re here.
Khan Krum commented:
Jim, this is off-topic but with Donald Trump’s recent courageous campaign requesting that Obama publish a long-form birth certificate there have been a lot of anti-birther rhetoric claiming that this is racist, i.e., no white president has ever had to do the same.
This is a lie. General Dwight D. Eisenhower, former Supreme Commander Allied Forces Europe did and here’s the original newspaper with the article to prove it:
http://news.google.com/newspapers/p/deseret_news?nid=Aul-kAQHnToC&dat=19521002&printsec=frontpage
Scroll right till the electronic reader says “Page 4 of 31″, (but the
actual newspaper page shown is page 6A). The article is headlined:
“General’s Birth Certificate Officially Filed”.
What do you think the idiot Whoopie Goldberg will say about that?!!
aprilnovember811 commented:
Ginger,
Tim Pawlenty is out for me. I saw the video with him saying Obama was born in the United States. That was a coward’s answer. I’m sick and tired of these people trying to impress a propagandist media. I don’t want people who are constantly on these marxist propagandists shows. Stay off the shows and do the work of the people.

0bama:
Let me be unambiguous, I may have cluster Mucked this one and there is little hope! I hope America and the coalition will quickly crumble.
As your Commander In Chief, I will be asking American fighting men to turn over their weapons to al Qaeda. Further, I will turn over control of American fighting men to the Europeans. Ha ha, the troops were fooled!
My limousine is running and Barney Frank is in the back. Any male reporter disagreeing with me will find his arse being savaged by Barney Frank into a bloody mess. Think about it!
No more negative news about me! I may suck but America must must be brought to her knees. Good day!

Thank you for that. It’s on page 4. I’m going to get this to Safeguard our Constitution.

Mrs. Galt commented:
Correct me, someone here, if I am wrong. I believe the U.S. Congress may elect a Speaker of the House at any time. For example, right now the house could vote for a new speaker.
If the GOP is to be effective, we need a leader. Crybaby Boehner is not the man. Bachmann is the (wo)man. The Tea Party needs to push for solid leadership. Maybe it will motivate Boehner. I am sure this will not happen.
Many will say it’s divisive. But if we do not get somebody with guts we’re doomed. We have to use the power we have or things like this won’t be de-funded.
shibumi commented:
We are at war with AQ in Afghanistan.
We are potentially arming AQ in Libya.
Once that happens in Libya (and I guarantee it will) does that mean we can:
Impeach Obama for aiding and abetting the enemy?
/technically, I bet we could, however, I bet there is no one in Congress that has the b@lls to do that to the Messiah.
squeaky commented:
“Donald Trump Smart to Raise the Birth Certificate Issue? It is at 70% “yes” right now.” maybe he smells blood in the water. i think hillary is polling well someplace – rasmussen maybe. obama may have more to fear from his own side – if and when he stops believing his own press.
Khan Krum commented:
Aprilnovember811 and Ginger: I have been following this ever since the Post-Nationalist Socialist Workers’ Party primaries in ’08 and I just learned about this last week. Is it not mind-blowing? I mean, this guy was Supreme Commander Allied Forces Europe in WWII!!! And we allow the state-run media shills to enable, echo and chant the racism charge when (finally a courageous albeit RINOesque) Donald Trump asks that the same standard be applied to Obama/Soetoro/Soebarkah, whatever the hell this guy’s name is.
(Jim, I apologize again for hijacking this post.)
Khan Krum commented:
And you too Squeaky! Thanks.
Chisum commented:
I’m watching the news and the ‘rebels’ are boohoo-ing that they are no match for Qaddafi’s tanks and have been forced to retreat. The ‘rebels’ claim that air support is not sufficient.
They want ‘arms’. Will that include tanks and missiles? Will they demand ground troops?
Obviously, according to Team BO, the UN and the Arab League, their needs are paramount. The demands will never end. Do the dems have the backbone to say no?
How far are they willing to go to protect their messiah?

Did they arm Al Qaeda in Kosovo? Was there a deal with Al Qaeda back during the Clinton Era? Was this why Sandy Berger was stuffing his pants and destroying classified material?

Your media at work.
A plane landing in Philly was hit by a bullet. But the mainstream media is right there to tell us it is not terrorism. No sir, no terrorism.
So what hit the plane? A “stray bullet”. A “stray” bullet? Think about that. When did you last see a stray bullet hit ANYTHING, let alone a passenger jet?
This local Inquirer Staff Reporter has no curiosity whatsoever. Instead, he leaps upon that highly implausible explanation to assure us nobody is shooting at our jetliners.
http://www.philly.com/philly/news/118902874.html
“Report: Hole in jet made by stray bullet
Inquirer Staff Report
The hole found in a U.S. Airways jet after it arrived in Charlotte from Philadelphia was caused by a rifle bullet, a Charlotte TV station reports.
Quoting an unidentified source, WCNC-TV reported the bullet was found intact in the plane and probably was fired from .40-caliber rifle as the plane landed in Charlotte.
WCNC-TV says that based on the location of the hole, investigators believe the bullet came from a rifle fired into the air and hit the plane as it headed back toward the ground.
A pilot found the small hole in the fuselage of a Boeing 737 during a preflight inspection in Charlotte Monday afternoon.
The plane had arrived in Charlotte about 4 p.m. without incident on a flight from Philadelphia.
The FBI is investigating but has said nothing about what it has learned.”
Chisum commented:
The broadcast evening news anchors all got ten minutes with President Barack Obama on Tuesday afternoon in New York City to press him about contradictions in his Libya policy, ceding authority for foreign entities and how he’s a hypocrite after his criticism of President Bush for unilateral actions and not getting congressional approval, but instead they simply prodded him to provide arms to the rebels and pushed him to take action in Syria. But ABC’s Diane Sawyer stood out for her obsequiousness as the Kentucky native ended by giddily bringing up the college basketball tournament:

we should be unarmed, i mean, we have “traces” & “flickers”
of all those terrorists groups he mentioned and then some..
not to mention inside our own Governmental Institutions..
heh, we can’t seem to clean up our own yard.. so why should the people of our own Sovereign US Republic be armed, never mind “free & democratic”??
/ironic truth sarc/
whatever, i mean, Obama Farrakhan, Wright & Jackson friend Qaddafi been
a great ally to the cause of freedom & democracy around the globe.. (puke)
importing foreigners to be shipped to Iraq on the cheap..
importing black mercenaries to weed Libya’s dissent garden..
perhaps too many people got tired of being blackmailed by Qaddafi..
because you’ve got to know Obama’s “he needs
to go mantra” is strictly for public consumption..
btw, funny that Obama used the word “needs”, anyone else would say
“has”.. but not Obama, as if needs pertains to protecting him from US/
West evil powers that be.. than again perhaps it’s “just a word”.. /s/
yeah, that Qaddafi, what a Saint, he’ll be sitteth
at the right hand of Obama in the afterlife.. /s/
MOVE OVER SADDAM!! /O’sarc/

re: #37
AQ under our management, go fig..
[If al-Qaida looks and sounds different as we approach 9/11's ninth anniversary, it's because it's under new American management. No fewer than four U.S. citizens and a permanent U.S. resident have risen to senior leadership posts.
These five English-speaking leaders are actively planning or facilitating attacks against their countrymen, while recruiting and radicalizing other American turncoats to carry them out.]
Qaddafi Forces are not what you’ve been led to believe..
[please follow connecting links, ie, thank you]

Hill is a socilaist and an Alinsky crumb… IT is Obama part two and Doofus is back in the WH with her.
Neo commented:
On one side, we have Khaddafi’s merry band of “screw ‘em” mercenaries
On the other side, we have a rag tag band of local jihadists with a “flicker” of al Qaeda
Obama, of course, is siding with the “locals” with that “flicker”
I feel like I’ve seen this movie before.
