Cliffnotes to the dawn of odyssey dawn.

Notice some specific parts of this report, that show that Ghaddafi was a staunch Anti-Islamist, and that he had a lot of trouble internally with the "fundamentalist regimes" , and that Libya was one of the largest Exporters of terrorism.

This report does not come out and say who the "freedom fighters" are, but it allows you to draw some pretty clear conclusions.

In September 2009, several leading members of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) released a more than 400-page document in which they renounced violence and laid out what they claimed to be a clearer understanding of the ethics of Islamic Shari’a law and jihad, parting ways with Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups whose violent methods they described as ignorant and illegitimate. The release of this revisionist manuscript shortly followed a public statement in August 2009, where LIFG’s leaders apologized to the Libyan leader for their violent acts and pledged to continue working toward a complete reconciliation with remaining elements of LIFG in Libya or abroad. LIFG’s revised ideology and the subsequent release of many of its imprisoned members is due in large part to a 2-year initiative by Saif al-Islam al-Qadhafi, in his capacity as Chairman of the Qadhafi International Charity and Development Foundation, to broker the reconciliation between the Libyan Government and elements of LIFG leadership.


From Wikipedia article for LIFG

The Libyan Fighting Group (LIFG) also known as Al-Jama’a al-Islamiyyah al-Muqatilah bi-Libya is the most powerful radical faction waging Jihad in Libya against Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi's regime. Shortly after the 9-11 attacks, LIFG was banned worldwide (as an affiliate of al-Qaeda) by the UN 1267 Committee.^[1]

LIFG was founded in the fall of 1995 by Libyans who had fought against Soviet forces in Afghanistan. It aims to establish an Islamic state in Libya and views the current regime as oppressive, corrupt and anti-Muslim, according to the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. LIFG claimed responsibility for a failed assassination attempt against Gaddafi in February 1996, which was in part funded by MI6 according to David Shayler, and engaged Libyan security forces in armed clashes during the mid-to-late 1990s.^[2] They continue to target Libyan interests and may engage in sporadic clashes with Libyan security forces.^[3] They strongly deny any links with al-Qaeda and are keen to emphasize that LIFG has never carried out an attack outside Libya or against civilians.^{[citation needed]}

me thinks they doth protest too much.  why do they have to keep denying no al qaeda over and over.

All that we know, is that the protestors:

-Are more moderate than Al Qaeda.
-Have declared Jihad on leaders in the middle east they see as usurping power from the Jihad.
- set fire to govt buildings before they were fired upon.
-and have tried to oust Quddafi before.

more moderate than al qaeda still is like an alky drinking lite beer.

absolutely. 
This is why the correlation between 1980's - present  Afghanistan and Libya are so apt. 

I said it before, and this verifies it,  LIFG: the group with the most people behind it are the same people that fought in Afghanistan.  We are treating them the same way we treated the fighters in Afghanistan against the Russians, and the result will be the same, we will have to decide which faction we are going to support after Quddafi falls.  Either a weak puppet or a strong Democracy that will be heavily influenced by Islam. A third case could be a split libya IE N. Korea and S. Korea, which would mean a militarized zone, most likely inhabited by America. The point being, that this is not an open and shut case. 

We stepped into it, now we are tied to it for the next couple of decades.

I still think that it is a mistake, but I am not privy to the intelligence that Obama is,  I hope beyond hope that he knows something about this group that we do not, and there is a plan, because all I have seen is.
-The United States President declaring war from France at the order of the UN
-Without a clear objective
-Without congressional approval,
-and without any end in sight.

There is talk that our forces will be enveloped into this "World Army" with multi national leadership, thus giving up any sovereignty that we have as a country.

I hope with all my heart that Obama knows what he is doing, but the conspiracy theorists that say that he is out to undermine our country are looking less and less crazy each day.

And yes Dr,
On a sliding scale of evil, more moderate than Al Qaeda is not saying much. 

The proof that LIFG is no longer non violent is pretty apparent as well.

International justification and direction started this world devoid of any American congressional input.

*world = war. 

the constitution says a lot about what the government cant do to the people but does not say much about what the government can do for the people......barrack obama.

I have a hard time thinking that USA would attack the wrong target strategically..

its the UN's war.  theyve been wrong before.

our founders knew that they greatest offender of human/civil rights is government...hence the 2nd amendment in case the first fails to get anyone's attention

Perhaps this speaks more to one world government

___BUMP----_____ 

fucked up from the get go

nobel peace price

now we are fighting side by side with al kaieeeda

i bet he wishes he was president of china

i bet he wishes he was president of china

or Kenya

well if libya ends up still qaddaffiis then its a loss for obama and if the LGIF/al qaeda light end up in power then its a loss for obama.  the only way to prevent either of these issues is boots on the ground which ends any chance he has of pleasing his followers regarding this sensitive issue.  seems kinda like a catch 22

france and britain have refineries that like the higher grade libyian crude and have a tougher time with saudi oil.
this is europe asking for help with their oil supply at a time when their citizens are rioting over austerity measures.
