Libya: Al-Qaeda Flag Planted On Benghazi Courthouse…
The blowback from NATO’s Libyan adventure is just beginning.
(VICE) — It was here at the courthouse in Benghazi where the first spark of the Libyan revolution ignited. It’s the symbolic seat of the revolution; post-Gaddafi Libya’s equivalent of Egypt’s Tahrir Square. And it was here, in the tumultuous months of civil war, that the ragtag rebel forces established their provisional government and primitive, yet effective, media center from which to tell foreign journalists about their “fight for freedom.”
But according to multiple eyewitnesses — myself included — one can now see both the Libyan rebel flag and the flag of al Qaeda fluttering atop Benghazi’s courthouse.
According to one Benghazi resident, Islamists driving brand-new SUVs and waving the black al Qaeda flag drive the city’s streets at night shouting, “Islamiya, Islamiya! No East, nor West,” a reference to previous worries that the country would be bifurcated between Gaddafi opponents in the east and the pro-Gaddafi elements in the west.
Earlier this week, I went to the Benghazi courthouse and confirmed the rumors: an al Qaeda flag was clearly visible; its Arabic script declaring that “there is no God but Allah” and a full moon underneath. When I tried to take pictures, a Salafi-looking guard, wearing a green camouflage outfit, rushed towards me and demanded to know what I was doing. My response was straightforward: I was taking a picture of the flag. He gave me an intimidating look and hissed, “Whomever speaks ill of this flag, we will cut off his tongue. I recommend that you don’t publish these. You will bring trouble to yourself.”

Great job Hussein!
This is truely an INTENDED consequence of your actions!
I’m like so shocked, /not.
This is not going to end well, I predict another civil war in Libya, just like we’re seeing in Egypt.
Odinga’s Orange Party signed a pact with the Muslim Brotherhood to assist with Islamic USAfrica, the North African Caliphate, and to install sharia in Kenya.
Obama helped Odinga campaign, and coached him on genocide against Kikuye Christians to attain power. Obama gave Odinga $23 Million US to install a sharia constitution in Kenya.
Obama is exterminating Christians and nonmuslim natives in Africa to set up the caliphate.
so replacing a boxed in dictator with a terrorist organization. Not going to end well.
and when are these people having their “elections”?
Gosh I wish someone would have seen this coming. Thank goodness they’re Mostly Moderate Muslims™.
Gee, who’d a thunk it?
Obama’s foreign and domestic policies have completed the following:
Piled up massive debt on a collapsing bubble economy creating further domestic and global instability.
Divided the Nation’s citizenry like no other in 150 years.
Unified radical Islam in the Middle East.
DON’T TREAD ON ME!
Nothing to see here, move on, you islamophobes; telling the truth about the new government is libelous. /sarc. I guess this is yet another example of “smart power”. I wonder if any “reporter” will ask media hack Carney about Mr. Obama’s reaction to this development. If such lightning struck, I’m sure Obama and Carney would say, that whoever is honored by the Libyan Government is an internal affair of the Libyans and it would be overreaching for the US to try to “dictate” the internal affairs of Libya.
I long for the days of Jimmy Carter. He only gave away Rhodesia and Iran. Obama has given away at least seven countries to antiwestern islamists and he still has a year to go.
Yaaaaayyy Barry,
And this is now only one week since they declared their liberation.
A strict-interpretation Sharia Government that is run by AlQaeda.
With stockpiles of advanced weapons, chemical and biological agents, and one of the largest oil fileds in the region.
What could go wrong here?
What will next week bring?
Satan,…er, osama obama is smiling and throwing a party for his islamo brotherhood buddies, IN THE WH.
OK this seals the deal….wich GOP candidate would put fear into these ASSHOLES like Reagan did to the COMMIES?
I think it’s Perry, maybe Cain. I KNOW it’s nit someone named MITTENS!
We CANNOT let the 1st for states crown Mittens the nominee!
You know the msm will remain mum about this…as always.
So will McRINO and ilk ~
They all think we are and were fools from Day One when it came to Egypt…they were the fools, plus the enemies as far as I’m concerned, this is and has been done intentionally when it comes to Dear Leader, it’s exactly what he wants, he’s one of them.
Good work, Obama. In the last six months this guy has done more to advance AQ’s cause than AQ itself has managed in the last 20 years.
I have to give Obama credit. He played this one just right. He could honestly say, ‘look at all the Muslims I’m killing with his 6 or 7 at a time drone kills. And his maintaining troops in Iraq and Afghanistan after quietly changing the ROE, and practically tying our troop’s hands.
While he simultaneously helped to unleash millions of Muslims to be led by the Muslim Brotherhood and/or Al Qaeda.
Anybody notice that those dictators overthrown were more secular than their citizens? Which is why Iran and Syria have been given a pass. Saudi Arabia manages to hold on because they implement to the fullest the desired Sharia Law.
If I were Jordan, I’d be looking for Obama to pay me a visit next.
Every morning when I wake up I get on my knees and thank the Good Lord that we have a president and more importantly, the smartest woman (Can anybody please verify if she really is a woman?) in America, protecting us night and day from our mortal enemies (Islamic muslim savages) by the implementation of their Smart Power foreign policy. I sleep much more soundly at night knowing that my life is being closely guarded by our communist president and our communist Secretary of Disgrace, whoops I meant to write State. If you doubt my word just look at all of their successes starting with Libya, then go to Tunisia, then Egypt, then Iran, Iraq (yep we lost in the end, thanks Obuttma and Hillary), Pakistan, Russia, China, Afghanistan (they will cut and run real soon, only a matter of campaign timing), Turkey, Israel (so alone, so alone, sounds like a song don’t it), North Korea, did I forget any other successes? A record anyone could be proud of!
My only hope is that one day our great president Obuttma will one day be succeeded by the great Hillary Clinton.
@Junius: Are you possessed man? Jeebus, you think you know somebody…
Junius-I dig your sarcasm…
I too have great relief knowing that the most intelligent man in the room (world) and Hillary Clinton, the smartest woman (I think) on earth are channeling their collective brain power to second guess the Muslim menace at every turn to protect us by borrowing money to give to others…carrying on the torch, just as Bill Clinton protected the Christian in Bosnia against the Muslim (sic). I sleep better at night knowing they are there with my head resting on my pillow due to this. Under my pillow I keep a Webley .454 caliber double action revolver, it is loaded with hollow points that would blow a hole in you the size of an orange. Knowing that it is always there to protect me from my protectors allows me to sleep soundly…knowing that I can defend myself and my family should need ever be.
This is what happens when the would-be tyrants of the world have no respect for the president and no fear of the US.
@Mad Dog – 100% correct. Anyone else notice that this has all happened under Obama’s watch? Him and his fellow Progressives are playing with fire and they’re too stupid to realise the consequences. Only in their world will this all end peacefully, and the “middle class” will rise to impose Marxist ideology. Even my two-year old nephew has more sense then all of them put together.
Nice work zero . You are the absolute worst leader our country has ever had , and you couldn’t be more proud of it . Muslim , Marxist FAILURE ! Don’t make us wait until 2012 , turn yourself over to the justice department to be charged with high crimes against America . Eric Holder will surely accommodate . NOT !
Hilary can’t even contain her glee, grinning like the Cheshire cat lately. I’m sure Barry will be all smiles lately too. Mission accomplished!
Anyone catch Hillary addressing members of Congress? Rep. Roherbacher (I think that was his name) shut her down hard, it was awesome! He wanted an account of the monies spent and Libyan restitution and repayment…she tried to sluff it off like it was nothing, only one billion…the look on her face said it all..elitist disgust at being questioned or held accountable…unbelievable..only a billion.
Conduct an experiment having the al-Quaeda flag as well as other similar flags to see if the occupiers desecrate those.
Might be interesting.
Fascist Islamist and not muslim moderate that represents 0.000001% out of one Ml of the population of Benghazi. Pls distinguish muslims from Radical Fascist minders.
The flags you see are not of AlQaeeda like you’re stating. Are simply the flags of Prophet Mohamed.Also just to clarify Aduljalil is not authorized to release speaches about Sharia and bla bla…. is his personal opinion, he is not elected and he has no right to make such declaration. You did not witness the reaction of the people here in Libya also from moderate muslims…very, very negative. Specially from women.
Omar – You are not Dr Zhivago
Are we allowed to say that Obama is in league with Al Qaeda now?
We the people of the USA have spent close to a trillion to wipe out this beast around the globe, Obomb-ba forces us to spend another billion to support this same shit!
And Congress continues to sleep it off!
If there’s one good thing to come from the arab spring and the subsequent cleansing of other religions from the virtually the whole region (apart from Israel, of course), it’s that the enemy will be clearly defined and all in one place…
