Far Worse Than Qaddafi: Libya’s New Tripoli Gov. is Al-Qaeda

A very interesting post from www.debbieschlussel.com about Libya's new al-Qaeda friendly government. This follows this post about the views of Muslims in the United States. This follows this article about the recent news about the former ban on offshore drilling which would encourage American energy independence and prevent money from going to hostile countries such as Iran   and Venezuela.

Far Worse Than Qaddafi: Libya’s New Tripoli Gov. is Al-Qaeda


By Debbie Schlussel



I’ve said it before on this site and elsewhere. I’ll say it again: while Qaddafi was a horrible man and an Islamic terrorist, at least we had a negotiated peace with him, pursuant to which he gave up his nukes. Now, things will get worse. The rebels are hardcore Islamic extremists, who will not give up anything for us. And, as I reported years ago on this site and elsewhere, when Dick Cheney headed Halliburton, he used a foreign subsidiary of the Halliburton-owned Brown and Root, to get around embargo rules against doing business with Libya and helped Qaddafi build miles of underground steel-tubed tunnels big enough to transport vehicles and nuclear equipment throughout Libya, impervious to our spy satellites. Now, apparently, these tunnels will be the domain of Al-Qaeda. And check out who will be leading them.







Abdelhakim Belhadj: New Boss Far Worse Than the Old Boss



Our friend, Rodrigo Veleda, notes that Abdelhakim Belhaj a/k/a Abdel Hakim Belhadj, Tripoli’s newly installed military governor, is an Al-Qaeda man. Veleda notes that even the left-wing French media are reporting and recognizing this, while our mainstream media are ignoring this fact, because it goes against their liberal, gushing narrative over the phony “Arab Spring.”



Abdelhakim Belhaj, Tripoli’s newly installed military governor (also being a key military official within Libya’s National Transitional Council), is linked to Al Qaeda, reports Liberátion (a hardcore Leftist French newspaper). Belhaj is a former official of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (an affiliate group of Al Qaeda). In 2003, Belhaj was arrested in Malaysia in 2003, later being interrogated by CIA in 2004 in Thailand. He was set free in Libya in 2008.



Disturbing, but no surprise. Read the rest.



Even the Arab world’s Asharq Al-Awsat notes that this guy is a top jihadist in “From Holy Warrior to Hero of a Revolution: Abdelhakim Belhadj“:



Abdelhakim Belhadj is the commander of the Libyan rebel Tripoli Military Council; he emerged as a leader during the Libyan rebels’ operation to liberate the Libyan capital from Gaddafi control. Belhadj is also a former Emir of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), which was banned internationally as a terrorist organization following the 9/11 attacks.



The LIFG was founded in the 1990s by Libyan mujahedeen returning from Afghanistan and was reportedly previously led by Abu Laith al-Libi, a top Al Qaeda leader in Afghanistan who is believed to have been a training camp leader and key link between Al Qaeda and the Taliban.



Belhadj was born in 1966, and graduated from university with a degree in civil engineering. He is also believed to have two wives; one Moroccan wife and a second Sudanese wife. Belhadj immigrated to Afghanistan in 1988 to participate in the Afghan jihad against occupying Soviet forces. He is believed to have lived in a number of Islamic countries including Pakistan, Turkey and Sudan. Belhadj was arrested in Afghanistan and Malaysia in 2004, and was interrogated by the CIA in Thailand before he was extradited to Libya in the same year. He was released in Libya in 2008, and announced his renunciation of violence the following year.



Belhadj is known within Islamist circles as “Abu Abdullah Assadaq” and the Libyan uprising has seen his transformation from wanted man to hero of the Libyan revolution.



The LIFG is considered a key component in the revolution that brought down the Gaddafi regime. Approximately 800 members of the LIFG are believed to have participated in fighting alongside rebel forces, under the leadership of Abdelhakim Belhadj.



Welcome to the “new” and unimproved Libya. Alhamdillullah [praise allah].



How long until this Islamic terrorist gets an invite to the Obama White House? 3-2-1 . . . .

Messaging Democrats To Shelve Obamacare and Leave The CIA Alone
Posted by: Hugh Hewitt
I need ten minutes of your time and $30 of your hard-earned dollars to push the Congressional Democrats to shelve Obamacare and to push President Obama and Attorney General Holder to abandon the witch hunt of terrorist interrogators.On Sunday former Vice President Dick Cheney will almost certainly make the case on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace that the special prosecutor named by Holder this week to consider criminal charges against American interrogators of al Qaeda and other terrorist suspects will be deeply damaging to the national security. Only a significant show of public disgust at the witch hunt will limit its breadth and scope. Adding your signature to the petition at IWillNotConvict.com is a simple and effective way of showing your agreement with Cheney and every other serious national security analyst on this crucial subject.If you haven't done so already, please sign the petition to stop Obamacare sponsored by the National Center for Policy Analysis. Over 1,165,000 people have already signed, and with two weeks before the petitions are delivered to Congress, getting to 1,500,000 signatures is doable if you join and also e-mail your friends.
A contribution of $10 or more to the National Center for Policy Analysis also allows the Center to publicize the petition and the arguments against Obamacre in other forums, so please consider helping push that message forward.
Two other ways of communicating voter anger over the push for the embedded rationing and fiscally disastrous consequences of Obamacare is to send small but symbolically important contributions to GOP contenders challenging vulnerable Senate and House sponsors of Obamacare.Nevada's Harry Reid is of course the most visible and also one of the most politically vulnerable Senate sponsors of Obamacare. Reid is facing a stiff challenge from Danny Tarkanian --a recent poll shows Reid trailing Tarkanian by 11 points-- and since the "$10 for Tark" campaign began this week, more than 5,000 new contributors have sent at least $10 to the GOP contender. That sort of groundswell will not doubt get Senator Reid's attention and push him towards the growing group of Democrats who want to shelve Obamacare rather than risk the political ruin it will bring them in November 2010. Please join the effort with a $10 or more contribution to Tark.
Colorado liberal Democrat Betsy Markey told voters this week that Medicare benefits will have to be cut and that all Americans are going to have make sacrifices under Obamacare. Seniors who want the Democrats to stop trying to insure the uninsured via cuts to Medicare and voters who like their private insurance and don't want to get dumped into the so-called "government option/public plan" at the center of Obamacare, should signal all House Democrats that there will be political hell to pay if Obamacre passes by a donation to Markey's opponent, Tom Lucero. Lucero was on my program yesterday and bring's a businessman's perspective to the health care debate and confirmed that all across Markey's district and Colorado generally, Obamacare is deeply unpopular, just as it is across the country as all the recent polling data shows.
A $10 or more contribution to Tom Lucero sends a message to every House Democrat feeling nervous about supporting Obamacare, so please join the hundreds of people who added Tom to their list of causes yesterday and Thursday via an online contribution.
The President and Nancy Pelosi are clearly worried that August has turned the tide of public opinion against Obamacare specifically and the spending binge and lurch to the left of the federal government generally, which explains the desperate attempt to urge increasingly worried Representatives and Senators to support Obamacare because Senator Kennedy would have wanted them to. (Perhaps the most inane of all arguments advanced to date on behalf of the deeply and obviously flawed plan.)The way to maintain the momentum is through demonstrated support for the National Center's grassroots efforts and through specific support for two candidates whose surge in fundraising signals what's ahead if the Democrats continue to push single payer and deep Medicare cuts on an unwilling public.
