Obama Signed Secret Libya Order Authorizing Support For Rebels (2-3 Weeks Ago)

The United States is now officially helping arm the Rebels in Libya when some of them if not most in western Libya are members of the The Libyan Fighting Group (LIFG)which is a terrorist group who is part of Al Qaeda. Obama and the people working for him never bothered to find out just who the rebels were or did they? Does Obama know they are part of Al Qaeda and just not care? Now the latest information has been leaked by four Government sources which is mind boggling after the Obama speech last night and his interview with CNN and NBC. Wonder what Brian Williams is going to think about his interview when he learns the truth.

Obama signed this order 2-3 weeks ago and never bothered to tell the Congress or mention it in his speech last night.

Obama signed the order, known as a presidential "finding", within the last two or three weeks, according to four U.S. government sources familiar with the matter.

Looks like we are dealing with sources who agreed to talk knowing full well that Obama did not reveal this last night or to both sides of the aisle in Congress. Did the Vice Admiral questioned by Senator Inhofe know this at the time or was he in the dark?

What else is Obama and Clinton hiding about Libya from the Congress and the American people?

Obama Signed Secret Libya Order Authorizing Support For Rebels


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama has signed a secret order authorizing covert U.S. government support for rebel forces seeking to oust Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, government officials told Reuters on Wednesday.

Obama signed the order, known as a presidential "finding", within the last two or three weeks, according to four U.S. government sources familiar with the matter.

Such findings are a principal form of presidential directive used to authorize secret operations by the Central Intelligence Agency. The CIA and the White House declined immediate comment.

News that Obama had given the authorization surfaced as the President and other U.S. and allied officials spoke openly about the possibility of sending arms supplies to Gaddafi's opponents, who are fighting better-equipped government forces.

The United States is part of a coalition, with NATO members and some Arab states, which is conducting air strikes on Libyan government forces under a U.N. mandate aimed at protecting civilians opposing Gaddafi.
In interviews with American TV networks on Tuesday, Obama said the objective was for Gaddafi to "ultimately step down" from power. He spoke of applying "steady pressure, not only militarily but also through these other means" to force Gaddafi out.

Obama said the U.S. had not ruled out providing military hardware to rebels. "It's fair to say that if we wanted to get weapons into Libya, we probably could. We're looking at all our options at this point," the President told ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer.
