CAIRO (AP) — An al-Qaida commander who escaped a U.S. prison has urged Libyans to overthrow Moammar Gadhafi’s regime and establish Islamic rule.
Abu Yahia al-Libi says in a video posted on a militant website that after the fall of the regimes in Tunisia and Egypt, it is now Gadhafi’s turn. A transcript of the video was provided Sunday by SITE Intel, a U.S. group that monitors militant messages.The authenticity of the 31-minute video posted on militant websites late Saturday could not be verified.
Gadhafi has accused the protesters and rebels seeking to end his longtime rule of being tools of al-Qaida. The rebels have no known links to the terrorist organization.
Al-Libi escaped from Afghanistan’s Bagram prison in 2005. His nickname Al-Libi is Arabic for Libyan.
————–
The rebels opposing Muammar al-Qaddafi’s regime have retreated after government-led forces take control of the oil town of Brega.
Fox News Reporter Leland Vittert reports live from Benghazi, and says that the rebels can’t be counted on “to hold any defensive positions.”

Posted on March 13, 2011 at 4:53pmDefinitely thought obama had something up his sleeve – about Lybia’s Gadhafi – when he said that he had the noose around his neck.
Gadhafi made obama’s cousin Raila Odinga – of Kenya – RICH with oil money.
*****
As a US Senator, Obama/Soetoro – as a TRAITOR – to our country – traveled to Kenya on US taxpayer money – to campaign for Raila Odinga as President of Kenya – whose mission was to have Kenya become a safe haven for TERRORISTS – and to place Kenya under Sharia Law.
Odinga is being prosecuted by the International Crimes Court – for his CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY – in the mass murder of Christians in the riots that broke out – after Odinga lost his presidential bid.
As a US Senator Obama had an Epic FAILURE in getting Odinga elected.

I’m pretty sure that the Center for American Progress and several other lefty “think tanks”(I know, that’s not exactly what they do, think) make most if not all the decisions, pass them through to Valerie Jarrett to be implemented. Odimbo is just the front guy. Pull his string and make him spew.

Posted on March 13, 2011 at 12:41pmWhat outrages Muslims and what doesn’t
It is an all too familiar drama, the Muslim world erupts in rage and calls for the worst sort of violence over an insult to Islam The imagined victimization and angry death threats over cartoons or criticism
There is no sympathy in Islam for infidels defending themselves against Muslims
And the Koran makes the distinction quite clear, basically everyone is a fair target for a Muslim soldier
If the Infidels speaks up, jihad is in order
This is how it works
Call them Al Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood or Hamas, they are all just different branches of the Islamic military.
So what happens when they get the Bomb?

He is in way over his head. I feel a conservative callifate growing. His days as leader are short. He has all but stepped aside as leader by letting NATO, and seiu govern his policy.

Posted on March 13, 2011 at 1:31pm@ CHIRODOC…….I hear what your saying, however, I would simply point out that “radical” Islam will not dissipate as you suggest, but simply regroup. The reason……there is no such thing as “radical” Islam. It is the invention of the MSM and those who don’t understand or have not studied Islam. If one studies the Qu’ran and the other Muslim sacred writings in the Hadith (words and actions of Muhammad), and the Hadith Qudsi (words of Allah), as well as, who Muhammad was and his violent and aggressive tactics historically one cannot help but to conclude that “radicals” are simply just consistent in their religion. “Moderate” Muslims are really the anomaly here as they have either migrated away from or ignore historical and classical understandings of these writings and the teachings that are mainstream, especially in the 4 large Sunni schools (seminaries). That is why they are viewed as apostate or reprobate and are attacked in many instances just as if they were infidels. That is why so many “moderate” Muslims are quiet and do not speak out. There will be no dispatching of “radical” Islam. It is culminating and escalating to a culture and religious clash of worlds that is only going to end in violence, war, and devastation unfortunately. When this will happen know one knows. Will it happen is assured.

Posted on March 13, 2011 at 2:14pmThe Rebels never had a chance without outside help. When you watch the news you could tell that all they were doing was wasting limited ammunitions for show on TV. Especially those so called anti-aircraft weapons installed in mini trucks that could barely stand up under the weight of those weapons.
When you watch them firing the anti-aircraft they are what looked like WWII style manually operated, only useful on slow flying piston powered air craft like Cessna 152′s etc. Any one that has any sort of military training would see that firiing an anti-tank rocket at a fast moving jet is a waste. There is no electronics to lock on to either the heat of the jet engine(s) or on any electroninc signals coming from the planes radar.
So it is inevitable that these rebels will loose unless either the EU/NATO or the US intervenes.
