A senior member of al Qaida urged Libyan rebels to continue their fight against Muammar Gaddafi and warned of the consequences of defeat, in a videotaped message posted on Jihadi websites, the Qatar-based Gulf News reported on Sunday.
No surprise to me.
This means we are helping people who are friendly to Al-Qaida with our military actions. Not good. And what does that say about all of the other protests?
Your post makes about as much sense as the Tea Party.
But according to Egyptian analysts and many young leaders of the revolution, it was the Muslim Brotherhood that quietly sustained the real fires of protest until they engulfed Egypt in an all-out revolution that would topple the corrupt and brutal 30-year reign of Hosni Mubarak.
The question now looms: What role will the Muslim Brotherhood — by far the largest and most-organized opposition group in Egypt — play in shaping the country's future? And how might the movement’s international chapters contribute as protests spread to Jordan, Algeria, Libya and elsewhere?

Why do you think Obama did it without Congressional approval?
My uneducated opinion is..
This would be heavily debated - giving possibility to all sorts of negative issues for him - indecisiveness, similarity to Iraq, the power vacuum left if Gadaffi is removed and who will take over, do we have a coalition, all of the past quotes he used against Bush, etc. It's much safer for him to announce this out of country with no scrutiny.
I am not saying (for now) that he is directly supporting Muslim Brotherhood causes - but his policies (with Holder's positions) trend towards Muslims, so I have to have that in the back of my mind also. For now - I am taking our military action supporting al-Qaida/MB as an unintended consequence.

Very well said and I share those same thoughts. I find it too damn coincidental that wherever we are showing up for support of the opposition (militarily or otherwise), the MB are involved. Take that with the fact that the Obama administration took them off the terror list and have been trying to convince us that they are the good guys. Something isn't right with all of that.
All i here is the rebels the rebels we are helping out the rebels. I wondered when this war began, ok we are talking about these rebels, and helping them out, but just who exactly are we helping out, and is it going to come back and bite us! And when and if this evil dictator does leave or is killed, who them will run the Country, his Son!
Al-Qaida is a government group created to agitate the Soviet Union into invading Afghanistan, and to further the NWO agenda. Al-qaida is not turban wearing raggedy rebels
What do you think this is and what info/reports can you support it with?
The Al-GoadUs can say anything they want.
I have no doubt that they would like to gain power by any and all means.
(Reminds me of Republicans).
That has nothing to do with what the U.N. is trying to do...Get rid of a crazy dictator.
Some young kid says this, some kid says that, so says yet another.
Meaningless.
No one knows what will happen, not even the world powers now engaged.
Only time will tell.
Everything else is conjecture at best, and propaganda at worst.
