Too many questions about this for me to support it. Like, what happened between February and now that made us turn 180 degrees on QDaffy? Obama in February: The US Must Give Libya's Military More Money Posted by Aurelius at 3:51 PM Another day, another discovery. You might have wondered why President Obama was hesitant to do anything in Libya, be it condemn a blood-thirsty dictator or decide to bomb it. In February, in the midst of a revolution in Egypt and an uprising in Tunisia, the President actually asked the United States Congress to provide Dictator Maummar Gaddafi with an additional $1.7 million in funds for his military. Ironically, the President now specifically supports a "no-fly zone" in Libya to prevent Gaddafi's air force from bombing protesters. Last month, he lobbied to give money directly to the dictator to improve his air capabilities. punditpress.blogspot.com
