Pray Obama is Lying

Long War: Team Obama is saying that the US is no longer engaged in airstrikes against Gaddafi’s army and will only participate in the NATO air war over Libya if a formal request is made by the Atlantic alliance. Even then the airstrike would have to be approved by the Whitehouse. This is beyond absurd because no bad guy target would stand still long enough for such a cumbersome approval process to unfold. Supposedly all A-10 warthogs and AC-130 gunships have been removed from the theater. Team Obama is shouting manically that there are no US boots on the ground and America is not at war with Gaddafi.

The possibility exists that all of the above is disinformation. Al Jazeera is reporting that US and Egyptian Special Forces are training Libyan rebels in a secret base in the far eastern part of the country and arming them with high quality weaponry. Al Jazeera is basing this story on information it got from interviewing a rebel soldier. The Qatar-based news agency contacted the State Department for a denial and instead got a no comment. This comes on top of numerous and highly credible reports that the rebel army is sporting tons of new gear as well as developing standard military discipline and tactics.

The British newspaper Telegraph says military advisors with English and Scottish accents are popping up in Benghazi (rebel capitol city) and on the frontline there are bearded Westerners who hide their faces from journalists. It also says over the weekend an A-10 warthog hit a rebel unit with friendly fire. The aftermath of this incident can be seen on line and it does look like the work of an A-10 warthog. A host of military blogs and publications are saying that Egyptian commandoes from the famed Unit 777 are all over eastern Libya. Unit 777 has always worked hand in glove with US Army Green Berets and probably wouldn’t be in Libya without its American partners. The same is probably true of British commandoes.

For the first time the Libyan rebels have fielded a unit composed entirely of professional soldiers. This is the first sign of the Free Libyan Army (FLA), the rumored force building behind the lines back in Benghazi that is presumably being trained and equipped by the US and its allies. The FLA is now engaged in a fierce see-saw battle in the oil city of Brega. If the rebels can retake Brega and the next few oil facilities westward along the coast, then they can start exporting oil. The global stock market rally and the global recovery are dependent upon this happening.

The rebel advance and all the good things associated with it (lower oil prices) are contingent upon the theory that Team Obama is lying (or providing disinformation if you prefer) to the American public about throwing in the towel in the Libya War. There seems to be evidence supporting this theory but it could be nothing more than wishful thinking. Even if there is a disinformation campaign it is still possible that the media exposes this fact, then Obama caves in and withdraws support.
Everything depends on President Obama having the courage to stand up to America’s far left. Michael Moore and Ralph Nader are launching campaigns to impeach the President over the Libya War. Congressman Dennis Kucinich joined the impeachment bandwagon but then jumped off. Of course Obama will never get impeached, that isn’t the point. The point is that Obama is terrified of losing the support of liberal America. At the same time he doesn’t want to lose the war against Gaddafi.
