Clare Lopez connects the dots. Excerpt:
During the 2011 Libyan revolt against Muammar Qaddafi, reckless U.S.
policy flung American forces and money into the conflict on the side of
the rebels, who were known at the time to include Al Qaeda elements. Previously the number two official at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, Christopher Stevens was named as the official U.S. liaison to the Libyan opposition in March, 2011.
Stevens was tasked with helping to coordinate U.S. assistance to the
rebels, whose top military commander, Abdelhakim Belhadj, was the leader
of the Al Qaeda affiliate, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG).
That means that Stevens was authorized by the U.S. Department of State
and the Obama administration to aid and abet individuals and groups that
were, at a minimum, allied ideologically with Al Qaeda, the jihadist
terrorist organization that attacked the homeland on the first 9/11,
the one that’s not supposed to exist anymore after the killing of its
leader, Osama bin Laden, on May 2, 2011.
Although Belhadj
reportedly now has moved on to Syria to help lead the fight against the
Assad regime being waged by the Syrian Free Army (SFA), other Libyan
fighters, who were formerly members of his LIFG and other Al Qaeda
affiliates formed a new terror militia in Libya (and elsewhere) called Ansar al-Shariah (Supporters of Sharia/Islamic Law).
Here's the conclusion, but you should really read the whole thing.
“[F]alse information was either knowingly disseminated or was directed
to be put out by senior policy officials for political reasons,” says Bill Gertz,
citing intelligence officials. Some of those alleged “political
reasons” may have had to do with ridiculous claims about the demise of
Al Qaeda and the false promises of an “Arab Spring,” but others may be
more deeply buried in an Al Qaeda-linked weapons supply line that was
never supposed to become public.
There are a lot of points the ponder here, but the most amazing one is this:
Obama is helping to arm Al Qaeda in the name of a ridiculous idea called "the Arab Spring". Here's Ms. Lopez with Glenn Beck:
