I originally posted the following information onto my Facebook wall…
Libya: Target of USA and the UK
I recently read the following article:
Libya: Who’s Terrorizing Whom? (1997)
http://www.twf.org/News/Y1997/Libya.html
Intrigued by the reading, I decided to do some research into the topic. I soon wrote the blog, US-Armed, Trained & Funded Mujahideen Becomes Maktab Al-Khidamat (MAK), Al Qaeda, Taliban, and Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) Terrorist Groups. Upon completing it, I continued to do more research, soon discovering the following information:

Notice a familiar name, here? Now, if Col. Khalifa Haftar spent the last 20 years in suburban Virginia… near Langley… and yet, was given free passage in & out of America, so that he pops up in Libya in 1996, meeting with the US-based Libyan National Army, in an attempt to overthrow the SAME Moammar Gadhafi that the US has been actively, covertly pursuing using the CIA since the 1980s… what exactly does that make Haftar?
