The Sun-King has no clothes.
Bret Baier of Fox News reported that intelligence sources believe that the mastermind of the al Qaeda attack on our Libyan consulate is one Sufyan Ben Qumu.
Uh-huh.
Qumu was released from Guantanamo Bay in 2007 to the Qaddafi-led
Libyan government, on the condition that Libya and the US could reach a
“satisfactory agreement … that allows access to detainee and/or access
to exploited intelligence.”
Yes, that was a Bush move.
But SCOAMF jumped in with both his widdle feets:
...The Obama administration promptly labeled Qumu an “ally of sorts,” according to the New York Times
– that despite the fact that as of 2005, he was known as a “medium to
high risk … likely to pose a threat to the US, its interests and
allies.” What made him an ally? According to the Times, that
status change was due to the Obama administration’s “remarkable
turnabout resulting from shifting American policies rather than any
obvious change in Mr. Qumu.” As a leader of the Libyan rebels, head of
the Darnah Brigade, Qumu received support from NATO.
Sorta like SCOAMF's gun-running exploits in Mexico.
Strangely enough, 'ally of sorts' is pretty much how they view the nation of Egypt now. Before they got there we called Egypt a "Major Non-NATO Ally," and conducted regular military exercises with them. Somehow that's all gone, now.
