Critics of Anti-Gadhafi Libyans - Amateurs On Natnl Securty!

[JimofPennsylvan]

Critics of America's involvement in Libya are now jumping on this band wagon, that the anti-Gadhafi forces have a lot of al Qaeda members who fought against and killed U.S. troops in Afghanistan and how can we be helping such people! These critics are trying to make it out like the White House is aiding and abetting al Qaeda. These people are so off the wall, so stupid its almost incredible. So what if some of the anti-Gadhafi forces were al Qaeda members that fought against the U.S. in Afghanistan. Where are these Libyans now no their not in Afghanistan there in Libya and are we still at war against al qaeda in Afghanistan so if they were really a danger to America they would be in Afghanistan or Pakistan still fighting America's troops. These people are so amateurish why is anyone paying attention to them. What was critical in turning the tide in the Iraq war, that's right, American command in Iraq making peace with Sunnis in Anbar province that were part of or allies with al Qaeda in Iraq and were in some cases culpable in American servicepersons' death and did U.S. command do the right thing in recruiting these Sunni's into local police forces or militias and arming them absolutely yes in doing so they saved many other American servicemen and servicewomen lives at the hands of Al Qaeda in Iraq. These people act like the anti-Gadhafi rebels who once worked in al qaeda groups are like that evil top lieutenant of the Devil, Mullah Omar, these rebels with al qaeda affiliation are no high stature terrorists they were largely al qaeda foot soldiers. These people are ignorant about military affairs, during World War II American and Allied forces used at least Italian soldiers that fought against them against the German military and if I am not mistaken I believe this took place in the Allies North Africa campaign. Historians could have a real field day with these critics; it is believed by many Americans that during World War II the White House made a deal with the Mafia to protect America's ports from German Espionage which the Mafia could do because they had such influence over the dock worker unions.





These critics are so out to lunch. The vast majority of these ant-Gadhafi rebels are regular folks, carpenter, mechanics, lawyers, engineers, clerks, etc.. Libya is now experiencing a popular uprising which means it is ordinary citizens revolting against their government. And this is what America with many other countries is doing in Libya, that is, helping a people throw off the yolk of a brutal, repressive dictator and his regime, that is it. All this other garbage about helping al qaeda is fear mongering and promotion of paranoia. These critics are promulgating garbage and the country doesn't have time to pick-up and tote away their garbage. Moammar Gadhafi is a sly, cunning, ruthless, thieving, rapist and murdering despot America should keep the maximum pressure on him to see him permanently fall from power in Libya! This is good for the Libyan people, the American people and all good peoples throughout the world!

Mebbe dey found out he's Jewish...

The Mystery Behind Gadhafi's Birth: Some Say He's Jewish
Mar 31, 2011 – What if the biggest mystery surrounding Col. Moammar Gadhafi had nothing to do with his long, brutal reign as the world's most eccentric and violent leader turned pariah? And what if a long-lost letter from a Catholic cardinal who knew Gadhafi's true identity was evidence that could have solved the mystery?

To many Libyan people, the biggest question mark about Gadhafi does not involve his repressive and dictatorial rule, delusional statements or brazen lies. Behind closed doors, for years, they've wondered if he is Jewish. Last week the issue came out in the open, as NBC's Richard Engel reported from Libya that one in five rebels was fighting Gadhafi because he believes the leader is Jewish. Conflicting reports surrounding Gadhafi's birth have circulated since about 1970, two years after a Gadhafi-led coup made him the de facto leader of Libya.

In a handful of biographies from years ago, mostly written by Europeans, Gadhafi is almost always described as being born in a tent in Sirt, the son of a poor, illiterate Bedouin sheepherder and his wife. But the hushed-up rumors in Libya about Gadhafi's parentage involved his mother being Jewish. The stories have conflicted over the years, and the narratives are different. One had her converting to Judaism at age 9. In another, Gadhafi's grandmother is Jewish but leaves her husband for an Arab sheik.

A more specific claim, backed up by a Libyan historian, is that Gadhafi was born out of wedlock to a Jewish woman and an Italian soldier in a village east of Tripoli. Because of the shame surrounding the birth, the baby was given to a Catholic cardinal who in turn gave the child to the sheepherder and his wife.
