Americans see no clear goals in Libya

Unlike in years in thepast, Americans are not sold on the intervention in Libya. According to the Pew Research group, only 47% support the mission while therest oppose it or don’t know.  The reason is most Americans don’t see any vital interest in Libya. In fact it’s not only turning out we are not only supporting AL-Qaeda and now reports that Hizb’Allah is there as well. We are also supporting the re-election of French President Nicolas Sarkozy and French interests. Barack Hussein Obama has not gone before Congress and is conducting this war illegally. Americans don’t feel right about this war and it’s reflected in the low support for this war.

After several days of airstrikes on Libya by the United States and its allies, the public has mixed reactions to the military operation. Nearly half of Americans (47%) say the United States made the right decision in conducting air strikes in Libya while 36% say it was the wrong decision. Fully one-in-six (17%) express no opinion.

On balance, however, the public does not think that the U.S. and its allies have a clear goal in taking military action in Libya. Just 39% say the U.S. and its allies have a clear goal, while 50% say they do not.

A pointless war and a waste of our money.

Qaddafi’s Forces defeat AL-Qaeda at Bin Jawwad

The Libyan branch of Al-Qaeda suffered a set back in their advance on Col. Mumar Qadddafi’s home town Sitre. Forces loyal to the Libyan government defeated the Islamic rebels at Bin Jawwad, a small town on the road to Qaddafi’s home town. This is set back for the “International Community’s” illegal and immoral war on Libya.

BIN JAWWAD, Libya – Libyan government tanks and rockets blunted a rebel assault on Moammar Gadhafi’s hometown of Sirte on Tuesday and drove back the ragtag army of irregulars, even as world leaders prepared to debate the country’s future in London.

Rockets and tank fire sent Libya’s rebel volunteers in a panicked scramble away from the front lines, before the opposition was able to bring up truck mounted rocket launchers of their own and return fire.

[…]

In an open letter to the international community, meanwhile, Gadhafi called for a halt to the “monstrous assault” on Libya and maintained that that the rebels were supported by the al-Qaida terrorist network.

“What is happening now is providing a cover for al-Qaida through airstrikes and missiles to enable al-Qaida to control North Africa and turn it into a new Afghanistan,” he said, accusing the international community of carrying out genocide against the Libyans.

This is huge blow to The Progressive-Islamic Axis and their designs on Libya. Expect the British and French to get their lackey Obama to order increased air strikes against Qaddafi’s forces. The Popular Uprising is now facing difficulties.

Update: One of the Libyan Rebl leaders admits AL-Qaeda ties.

Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi, the Libyan rebel leader, has said jihadists who fought against allied troops in Iraq are on the front lines of the battle against Muammar Gaddafi’s regime.

This is who we are aiding. People with the blood of Americans on their hands.

Muslim Brotherhood sees opportunity in Libya

This comes to no shock to anyone observing the situation in Libya. For all his faults, Col. Mumar Qaddafi was an enemy of Islamists. He allied with the US against AL-Qaeda until our recent betrayal. Thanks to the US/NATO, they smell blood in Libya and are preparing to take advantage of the situation.

Largely drawn from the devout educated middle classes and university campuses in Tripoli and Benghazi, the Libyan Muslim Brotherhood was founded in the mid-1950s.

Islamist opposition to the Libyan regime gathered force in the late 1980s, as part of a wider Islamic awakening or “Sahwa” in the region and in reaction to what many saw as an attempt by Gadhafi to hijack and interpret Islam for his own purposes.

While jihadists launched a brief but unsuccessful campaign to overthrow Gadhafi in the 1990s, the Brotherhood focused much of its efforts on clandestine preaching and social welfare efforts in Libya

Why many prominent Republicans are supporting this action is a mystery to me. Clearly Barack Hussein Obama is assisting the Islamic Imperialist agenda. Our side should be hammering him on this, not enabling it. Obama’s Presidency could be destroyed by revelations that Libyan rebels bare affiliated with AL-Qaeda. This is treason since many of these rebels killed Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan.

If Qaddafi falls, the Muslim Brotherhood could come to power as it appears they are in Libya. Clearly a North African Caliphate is in the making, thanks to Obama/Clinton’s insane foreign policy.

Turkish Deputy PM calls for UN action agaisnt Israel

The Libyan intervention will have unintended consequence. The low bar that is now set for UN intervention could possible lead to international coalitions attacking nations they don’t like. Turkish Deputy PM Bülent Arınç recently commented that the UN should enforce resolutions against Israel. He is all but calling for a UN lead attack on Israel.

After assuring both Libyans and Turks that Turkey was not involved in airstrikes on Libya, Deputy Prime Minister Bülent Arınç, of Turkey, said, “We wish that the United Nations had made such resolutions and countries had taken action in the face of incidents in Gaza, Palestine and the other regions.

This is exactly the problem I thought might arise from President Obama’s endorsement of the trendy principle of “Responsibility to Protect”. In yesterday’s blog, “The Rise of Samantha Power and the risks for the American-Israel relationship,” I speculated that the rationale Obama adopted to bomb Libya bore the risks of others adopting the same “principle” to justify punishing, if not bombing, Israel.

This speaks volumes to how this UN action against Libya will be used. It’s possible in the next Israel-Islamist war that a no fly zone will be ordered, thus attempting to prevent Israeli air supremacy over the battlefield. Clearly this is the Turkish Deputy PM’s wishes.

Rodan Commentary:

This action against Libya will have other unintended consequences. Libya was the model of a rogue state that gave up it’s WMD program. It was rewarded by integration into the global economic system. Libya’s intelligence assisted the CIA against Al-Qaeda. Qaddafi paid money in restitution for the Lockerbie bombing. He was living up to his part of the agreement. By attacking Libya other rogue states will not give up their weapons. No one will trust us and an agreement signed with the US will be viewed as only good one Presidential term. The repercussions will be unforeseen.
