Soldier Fighting Al Qaida
It has now been extensively reported by European and U.S. news organizations that Barack Hussein Obama is hard at work trying to find wiggle room in the UN resolutions 1970 and 1973 to justify arming the Al-Qaida rebels fighting to oust dictator Muammar Gaddafi.
Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi, leader of the Libyan rebels, admitted today to Italian newspaper, Il Sole 24 Ore, that he had earlier fought against ‘the foreign invasion’ in Afghanistan and that jihadists who fought against allied troops in Iraq are on the front lines of the battle against Muammar Gaddafi’s regime.
Could Obama be truly considering supporting the same fundamentalist Islamic Al-Qaida that U.S. soldiers have died fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq? Apparently, yes.
George W. Bush assured the nation that the commitment of American lives and hundreds of billions of dollars in fighting Al-Qaida strongholds on foreign soil were justified. Bush insisted that the war efforts were needed to prevent terrorists trained and financed by Al-Qaida from striking America again.
President-to-be Barack Hussein Obama at first promised ending the wars and bringing the troops home in 18 months, but after the election changed his mind.
Two years into his administration Obama, the Commander in Chief, is still leading a growing war effort against Al-Qaida and protecting the borders of those two countries. Many more hundreds of billions have been spent on war by Obama. A sympathetic media stopped counting the number of dead and injured in battle since Obama became president and this has taken the pressure off the president to live up to his promises.
There are some who would like to give President Obama the benefit of the doubt, even if on the surface he seems as if he is way over his head on foreign policy. Having said that, arming Al-Qaida in Libya is so controversial that U.S. arm forces personnel currently at the risk for their lives in Afghanistan and Iraq should be polled for their opinion, one would think.
