Updated Title: World Revolution 2011

I just needed to ensure that the dossier that I am putting together on you contains the correct information.

Now why in the world would you want to do something like that? Why dont I just send you a copy of my old ERB or DD-214?

Looks like Syria could be going tits up soon too.

So now after 9 days Obama is addressing the American people on his illegal war for oil. So far he has said bla, bla, bla.

Now I know why we went to war. Obam said that Gadhafi bombed Masque.

Really dude? Come on.

Look, as everyone on here knows, I'm no fan of Obama (seems like a cool guy, but I don't care for his politics at all), but I think we're absolutely doing the right thing here, and I think for the most part we're approaching it the right way.

I actually liked his speech tonight better than any I've heard him give since being elected.

We had to help with some kind of intervention in Lybia, we took the lead to get the no-fly established, now we're backing off and handing it over to NATO on Wednesday and will continue to support, but not lead the op, and no ground troops will be involved. A measured, sound decision IMO.

My only issue is we have no stated end-game, but then again this whole thing is only 4 weeks old, so stay tuned.

So why Lybia and not the other places around the world? Only real answer is oil. Now we are talking about arming the rebals and we don't even really know who they are.

Well it seem we are learing who these rebals are. AL-QAEDA and think Obama is thinking about arming them.

Where'd you hear that from? No government official has confirmed that. Secretary Clinton, Susan Rice, Joint Chiefs - none of them, to my knowledge, have floated the idea that the rebels are in cahoots with al-Qaeda. And while it's reasonable to believe that elements of al-Qaeda are in the mix, I don't think this movement in Libya was engineered or led by them. Since when have al-Qaeda used protesting as a means to get their point across and greated an American pilot with open arms? And with my very limited knowledge of the situation, I'm sure they aren't just sittng around waiting for America to give them weapons, they've been very capable of acquiring them in the past.

The truth is these organic uprisings are stealing al-Qaeda's thunder and sending a strong message that regimes can be overthrown through other means besides violence and terrorism.

Osama bin Laden was allegedly among the recipients of U.S. arms,[15] (http://www.thewarpath.net/#cite_note-14) although this view has been disputed.[16] (http://www.thewarpath.net/#cite_note-15)[17] (http://www.thewarpath.net/#cite_note-16)[18] (http://www.thewarpath.net/#cite_note-17)[19] (http://www.thewarpath.net/#cite_note-18)
Under Reagan, U.S. support for the mujahideen evolved into an official U.S. foreign policy, known as the Reagan Doctrine (http://www.thewarpath.net/wiki/Reagan_Doctrine), which included U.S. support for anti-Soviet movements in Afghanistan, Angola (http://www.thewarpath.net/wiki/Angola), Nicaragua (http://www.thewarpath.net/wiki/Nicaragua), and elsewhere.[20] (http://www.thewarpath.net/#cite_note-19) Ronald Reagan (http://www.thewarpath.net/wiki/Ronald_Reagan) praised mujahideen as "freedom fighters".
first, what do you think about this?

It may of just been an oversight, put you omitted the preceding wiki-paragraph.
The mujahideen were significantly financed and armed (and are alleged to have been trained) by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) during the administrations of Carter and Reagan, and also by Saudi Arabia, Pakistan under Zia-ul-Haq, Iran, the People's Republic of China and several Western European countries. Pakistan's secret service, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), was used as an intermediary for most of these activities to disguise the sources of support for the resistance.
