Any resources, assistance, weapons, air support, and political support given to the Libyan rebels will also benefit Al Qaeda. What a predicament. We're damned if we help them, and damned if we don't. I guess in the world of politics there no longer is black and white, it's all just a dark grey. This is a real shame since if we help the Libyan rebels, like in Egypt, we are really placing Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda, and anti-American Muslims in control of more countries in the Middle East. In the Libyan rebels are fighters which have returned to Libyan rebellion after fighting the U.S. in Afghanistan.
