Obama: Libyan Rebels Comprised of “Professionals, Lawyers and Doctors”…

Now he’s just making stuff up.

(Australian) — The US is considering giving weapons to rebels battling Muammar Gaddafi’s regime in Libya, despite concerns that some could have terrorist links to al-Qa’ida and Hezbollah.

“We are examining all options to support the opposition,” President Barack Obama said yesterday. His comments, a day after his nationally televised address on the reasons for US military involvement in Libya, came as leaders from countries involved in the military operation now under NATO leadership met in London to co-ordinate efforts against the Gaddafi regime

US officials also appear unclear about the allegiances of rebel groups and what sort of governmental system might replace the dictator’s rule after 41 years.

In one of three interviews yesterday, Mr Obama said the rebels were “saying the right things” so far. “Most of them are professionals, lawyers, doctors, people who appear to be credible,” he told CBS.

“That doesn’t mean that among all the people who oppose Gaddafi, there might not be elements that are unfriendly to the United States and our interests.”

He told the American ABC News he believed the dictator’s inner circle “understands that the noose is tightening” and that Gaddafi would step down.

    It was just yesterday that I said he would arm them. I thought I would have had to wait about a week or two, but NO!

    Obama is chomping at the bit to arm Al Qeuda. TREASON!

    In one of three interviews yesterday, Mr Obama said the rebels were “saying the right things” so far. “Most of them are professionals, lawyers, doctors, people who appear to be credible,” he told CBS.

    Of course they are going to say all the right things. These fuckers are seasoned liars and manipulators, they know exactly what buttons to push.

    What, you don’t believe Obama? They look like lawyers to me. Or drug runners.

    Good thing this is in Libya, the the “professionals, lawyers, and doctors” can’t buy spray paint in Chicago.

    Just the fact there are lawyers included, rules out any chance of credibility.

    If Barry arms these people, who are enemies of the U.S., Impeachment should start immediately. Not that he doesn’t have enough treason charges against him now to Impeach, but this should be the last straw for the American people. We cannot wait for two more years of this nightmare to continue. So much change (DAMAGE) has been done to this country as it is. This administration knows they are subverting the Constitution and the Rule of Law, it is now time to call him on it!

    Would you not think that Congress would not permit arming them? Is there anything we can do to prevent this or does it not matter any more?

    Arming and supporting the enemy of the United States…next up…Obama attacks Israel when they retaliate against those who lob bombs into their cities
    ( calling it overly agressive response against “civilians”) ..anyone who cannot see what this mole is doing is WILLFULLY ignorant.

    You’d think that if the rebels had any education at all, they would know you can’t bring down a jet with a rifle. Yet, we keep seeing them firing up in the air at essentially nothing.

    While Obama believes the Rebels consist of Hamas, Hezbollah, The Muslim Brotherhood and Al-Qaeda Doctors, he plays the American public for fools.

    I know doctors and they do not join hordes of marauding thugs shooting RPG’s.

    Arming any of these people is another weapon that will be turned on Israel, and perhaps that is exactly what Obama wants.

    Obama straps his own people with trillions in new debt and yet finds billions of dollars to play both sides of the Libyan conflict. His Home Boys Farrakhan and Rev Wright are warning him to back off but power to this community organizer has gone to his head.

    I suspect China will pull his leash back sooner or later and cut off his funds and in turn put the American people in peril. But that seems to be part of this nitwit’s plan all along.

    Obama must go. It is our policy to replace him. he can resign now, or wait for the pain to bear down upon him and his ilk in 2012.

    Why wait?

    Wow.. can our current Government really be this stupid.? I don’t mean believing the rebels are Doctors Lawyers and Indians chiefs. I mean that we don’t see what they’re are really up too?

    Mr. Obama gets his health care at Walter Reed, so perhaps he’s just confused…

    So they offer medical and legal degrees at the Costco there in Libya? Apparently that’s where President Barack Hussein Cammacho received his.

    Al Qaeda’s Ayman al Zawahiri is a doctor, how’s his credibility?

  26. Mark "Darrin" Kemp says:
    March 30, 2011 at 12:44 pm

    Zawahiri, the spin doctor and mastermind behind al-Qaeda’s ideology, was not only a medical doctor but also a surgeon.

    And what will their ROE’s be when Obama gives them weapons.
    Maybe he is only going to give them bean bag shooting weapons
    like the Border Patrol has. That’s the ticket.

    Exactly. Libya is the test case for establishing precedent with UN/NATO/OIC involvement.

    Why isn’t Congress getting ahead of this and reasserting Constitutional precedent? Cain? West? Bolton? Bachman? Palin? Someone . . .anyone?

    On one side, we have Khaddafi’s merry band of “screw ‘em” mercenaries
    On the other side, we have a rag tag band of local jihadists with a “flicker” of al Qaeda
    Obama, of course, is siding with the “locals” with that “flicker”

    I feel like I’ve seen this movie before.

  32. Truthsayer says:
    March 30, 2011 at 3:20 pm

    Oh yea! Give them weapons so they can kill our soldiers when we have to play “Iron Man”. We can’t wait till 2012 to get this jagoff out of office!

    it is a pity that Obama has never read history . The third estate that seized control of the Estates General and precipitated the French revolution was, like the American congress, made up of largely by lawyers.

    Dr. Helldigger says:
    “I know doctors and they do not join hordes of marauding thugs shooting RPG’s.”

    How many doctors do you know who have been living under the iron fist of a theocratic despot?

    “Obama straps his own people with trillions in new debt and yet finds billions of dollars to play both sides of the Libyan conflict.”

    How is he playing both sides? There is a popular uprising and the United States has decided to join the international community in support their attempt to remove a tyrannical and murderous dictator. Seems pretty straight forward to me.

  35. CLee says:
    March 30, 2011 at 10:49 pm

    WugWug,

    You have to remember…these people speak from their gut. Their goal is the destruction of American citizens (them dem liebral!). They are driven by their hatred for their fellow Americans instigated by far-right wing extremist media outlets.

    Come to think of it…there’s no much difference between the far-right wing extremists here in the US and the far-right wing extremist Muslims. Imagine that.
