Well we knew this was going to happen because the CIA and other agencies funded the rebels. Hillary's BS is all scripted well ahead of time. My bet is , with a million AK's behind him, GADDAFI WON'T LEAVE AND THE WAR WILL CONTINUE and they won't listen to Fat Hillary.
U.S. to recognize Libyan rebels as legitimate government
By William Wan, Updated: Friday, July 15, 5:51 AM
ISTANBUL--The United States has reached a deal to give Libyan rebel leaders full diplomatic recognition as the governing authority of Libya, after months of fighting to oust longtime ruler Moammar Gaddafi, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said.
The move – announced here Friday at a meeting between Western and Arab powers and Libyan rebel leaders – paves the way for the rebel’s council to receive some of Libya’s frozen U.S. assets, which total more than $30 billion.
“I am announcing today that, until an interim authority is in place, the United States will recognize the TNC as the legitimate governing authority for Libya, and we will deal with it on that basis,” Clinton said, using the acronym for the rebels’ governing Transitional National Council.
Other Western and Arab countries in the international contact group that is meeting in Turkey also said they fully recognize the rebels as the governing authority, with France and Italy pledging on Friday to unfreeze $250 million and $100 million in frozen Libyan assets and give the money to the rebels in coming days.
The money that comes with full diplomatic recognition has been increasing important in recent weeks for the cash-strapped rebels, who have found themselves in a stalemate with Gaddafi's forces.
Kuwait and Qatar have already given roughly $100 million to the rebels and other countries have also pledged varying degrees funding, but rebel leaders have said they need more money soon if they are to shoulder all the responsibilities of a new government in a country torn by five months of fighting.
For weeks, U.S. officials have stopped short of full diplomatic recognition even as they inched up support for the Libyan rebels’ cause. The main concern was over how capable and inclusive the rebel leaders will be, said a senior U.S. state department official who was not authorized to speak by name.
The United States decided to change its position after a presentation here by Mahmoud Jebril, the foreign representative of the transitional council, who walked through the rebels’ post-Gaddafi plans for governing Libya.
The worry among U.S. and other foreign powers was that after Gaddafi falls, the oil-rich country could become embroiled in tribal conflicts or ethnic tensions. A British-led group planning for post-Gaddafi Libya is recommending that the Libyan army be left intact to avoid the tactical mistake made after the Iraq war, when U.S.-led forces dismantled Saddam Hussein’s army.
Foreign leaders meeting in Istanbul also spent much of the day debating the sincerity of recent emissaries of Gaddafi who say he is ready to step down. U.S. officials believe Gaddafi’s camp is sending contradictory signals and are are not convinced he is not yet prepared to give up his power.
“There are a lot of straws in the wind,” a second U.S. official said. “We are not persuaded yet that any of this is decisive in terms of the red lines that we have laid out.”
At the meeting, Turkey and the African Union each proposed road maps for resolving the conflict. Both included establishing an immediate cease-fire and opening negotiations with Gaddafi to get him to leave.
The meeting in Turkey is the fourth official meeting of the international contact group--comprised of Western and Arab countries--supporting the rebels in their fight against Gaddafi.
For the first time, China and Russia were invited to the contact group. But the two countries have been less critical of Gaddafi,

NATO will be Defeated in Libya
The Libyan Resistance Movement. A Defining Moment for Africa
by Gerald A. Perreira
The argument in Libya has been won by the Al Fateh revolution. There is now a glaring truth confronting the North Atlantic Terrorist Organization (NATO) – Muammar Qaddafi has handed out over one million kalashnikovs to the Libyan people. If he was the brutal dictator that NATO would have us believe him to be, then the armed population could have turned their guns on him and the revolutionary armed forces by now, especially as they would have NATO’s full backing if they did so.
Instead, on July 1st, more than a million Libyans, were in Green Square and the surrounding streets, to hear Muammar Qaddafi speak and to rally against NATO.
Chinese media put the number at 1.7 million and Intifada – Voice of Palestine website called it ‘the largest demonstration ever in world history’. The crowd chanted over and over again ‘We want Qaddafi’ while unveiling a green flag 6 kilometers long.
The Al Fateh revolution has given the Libyan people a taste of the dignity that comes with true independence and real sovereignty.
Unlike so many ‘Third World’ nation-states, Libya, under the leadership of Muammar Qaddafi, has been a surrogate of neither the East nor the West. The first thing that hits you when you step off the plane at Tripoli International Airport is that Libyans are firmly in control of their country. Libya is a power unto herself and Libyans are not taking kindly to NATO’s attempts at re-colonization.
What has developed in Libya is a conundrum for NATO. They may have imagined that with such vicious ongoing bombing raids, Qaddafi’s forces would have crumbled.
Instead, they have witnessed the opposite. In the face of this all out aggression, over 10,000 bombing raids and into its fifth month, the Libyan patriotic and revolutionary armed forces and the vast majority of Libyans have remained steadfast and loyal, defending their revolution and its leader.
Qaddafi – African Hero
Only leaders who are determined to live for their people are prepared to die for their people. Young Libyans from the Student Revolutionary Committees in the streets of Tripoli chant ‘Allah, Qaddafi, Libya’. The overwhelming majority of Libyans – young and old – love him. And then there is the massive outpouring of love and support that has come from every corner of the globe, where people, organizations and liberation movements, all of whom have received assistance from him at one time or other, have raised their voices against NATO’s unprovoked aggression.
But nowhere is Qaddafi loved more than in Africa. His genuine commitment to our liberation is known to all Africans. African youth support his vision. Rappers have called him ‘African Hero’.
Tuaregs and freedom fighters from all over the continent have joined with the Libyan people to defend Tripoli. The Pan-African movement has been re-energized. It is no accident that it took an attack on the man who said ‘The Black race shall prevail throughout the world’, to galvanize the movement which is capable of bringing about the dream of Garvey and Nkrumah, a dream which Muammar Qaddafi has pursued at his own peril.
Tingba Muhammad, in an excellent article in The Final Call, made the following indisputable points:
“Since he came to leadership in that oil-rich nation in 1969, Col. Qaddafi has amassed a record of accomplishment for Black Africa unmatched in modern history. Using his nation’s oil revenues, he has set the exploited former Italian colony firmly on the road to true independence… those who take the time to look past the litany of white lies about Qaddafi will be introduced to a man whose progressive record of accomplishments very well may be unmatched by ANYONE who has ever led a nation in modern times. And this is not hyperbole! We will take it further: If this man—Muammar Qaddafi—ever ran for president of America with a résumé like his, we dare say EVERY American would not only vote for him, but would angrily trash the 22nd amendment to the Constitution to allow him to serve forever!”
Sarkozy – the Wicked Pied Piper
NATO is arming and fighting alongside al Qaeda in Libya after telling the world for years that al Qaeda is the single largest threat to their national security.
At the same time, they continue to claim that they are fighting al Qaeda in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and Somalia. This might seem like a contradictory and confused foreign policy however, it is classical Machiavellian policy at play and nobody plays Machiavellian politics better than Europeans.
War criminal, Henry Kissinger, summed it up many years ago when he said: “We do not have permanent friends or permanent enemies – we only have permanent interests.”
Obama, Cameron, Berlusconi and other European leaders were led on a merry dance by French president and white supremacist, Sarkozy.
His real reason for France’s frantic move against Libya was his government’s embarrassing failure to save their minion, Zinedine Ben Ali in Tunisia, in an election year. We know this man Sarkozy by his actions and his words. He is on record as saying, in true Hegelian spirit, that:
“The tragedy of Africa is that the African man has never really entered history. The African peasant has known only the eternal renewal of time via the endless repetition of the same actions and the same words. In this mentality, where everything always starts over again, there is no place for human adventure or for any idea of progress.” He added: “Africa’s problem is that its present is permeated with nostalgia for the paradise of its lost childhood….”
