Here are two stories with headlines when you put them together should give you pause, and wonder what is in the mind of President Obama and his administration. How is it in our interests to help create an nation with al-Qaeda loyalties?

From Sky News:
"US May Supply Gaddafi Rebels With Weapons"

From the U.K. Telegraph:
"Libyan rebel commander admits his fighters have al-Qaeda links"

I want to see Gaddafi go for sure, but taking sides in an internal uprising when you dont know the rebels seems VERY VERY DANGEROUS to me. Perhaps he is aware of things we dont know but all this unrest in the middle east seems to be the perfect breeding ground of some very bad people.
