Listen to the Islamic birdie

Libya, like it's Arabic brethreen will fall to the Islamists and jihadists, the timing is the only question remaining.  What distresses me is that, since timing is everything the words of those wanting to take control should have tipped us off, not the military documents stating the threat we are under.  When our enemies speak, we need to listen.  They do not lie when telling us what they intend and how they intend to accomplish it. 

As I pointed out here, Al-Qaeda has more than a foothold in Eastern Libya, and are calling on all pious Muslims to take up jihad against the "not Muslim enough" Gaddafi and his influence via the West and, of course the Jews..  Our folly is not seeing who the real enemy is, and refusing to do what military force is supposed to do: kick butt.  Libya is another domino in the ever-leaning Islamic conquest of the Middle East.

Libyan rebellion has radical Islamist fervor: Benghazi link to Islamic militancy:U.S. Military Document Reveals

(...)Perhaps more alarmingly for Western policymakers, most of the fighters came from eastern Libya, the center of the current uprising against Muammar el-Qaddafi.
The analysis of the Combating Terrorism Center of West Point was based on the records captured by coalition forces in October 2007 in a raid near Sinjar, along Iraq’s Syrian border.

The eastern Libyan city of Darnah sent more fighters to Iraq than any other single city or town, according to the West Point report. It noted that 52 militants came to Iraq from Darnah, a city of just 80,000 people (the second-largest source of fighters was Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which has a population of more than 4 million).

And the Saudi government, the same time they send troops to defeat Gadaffi are sending troops to Bahrain to support the ruler and quash the protesters.
An interesting dichomoty, is it not.

Benghazi, the capital of Libya’s provisional government declared by the anti-Qaddafi rebels, sent in 21 fighters, again a disproportionate number of the whole.
If the 2007 captured records revealed the Eastern Libyan participation in the anti-coalition forces militancy in Iraq one could imagine the Banghazi-Darnah export of Islamists since then.

Libyans were more fired up to travel to Iraq to kill Americans than anyone else in the Arabic-speaking world,” Andrew Exum, a counterinsurgency specialist and former Army Ranger noted in a blog posting recently. “This might explain why those rebels from Libya's eastern provinces are not too excited about U.S. military intervention. It might also give some pause to those in the United States so eager to arm Libya's rebels.”

Despite this data and information available to the United Stated government Secretary of State Hilary Clinton met late Monday 14 with a leader of the Libyan rebel movement in Paris privately and without a public statement. Mrs. Clinton met the opposition rebel leader Mahmoud Jibril at her hotel in Paris after attending a dinner with foreign ministers of the countries of the Group 8 who discussed ways to increase pressure on Colonel Qaddafi’s Libyan regime.

More Obama administration cozying up to Islam and Muslims.

The West Point report said “Both Darnah and Benghazi have long been associated with Islamic militancy in Libya.

A significant progress was made by the Libyan rebels when the French President Nicolas Sarkozy welcomed a pair of envoys from the Libyan National Council, the rebel leadership, early this month. France indicated that it would recognize the rebel proclaimed provisional government based in Benghazi. Britain also signaled that it may also recognize the rebel authority.

Blind and dangerous stupidity.

Despite those developments the Obama administration seems to be vacillating having no firm Libyan policy since the rebellion.

"No firm Libyan policy" 

I'll send the memo, but I don't think it will help.
