Gadhafi backed efforts against al-Qaida: DND reports

By David Pugliese, Postmedia News April 22, 2011 11:05 PM

Western politicians have labeled Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi a despot and a brutal dictator but Defence Department reports portray him in another way — as a staunch ally in the war against al-Qaida and Islamic extremism.

Gadhafi's efforts against al-Qaida-backed forces and his co-operation with the U.S. in providing information on terrorist networks are highlighted in a number of DND reports from 2002, 2003 and 2006, and obtained by the Ottawa Citizen under the Access to Information law.

Those, combined with other reports that Britain and France — two of the most vocal nations in pushing for Gadhafi's removal — had recently tried to sell him new warplanes, show how quickly international alliances can shift.

British special forces, who just two years ago trained Gadhafi's troops, are now being prepared to go into Libya to train rebels who are trying to overthrow him. That effort is underway even though there are concerns some rebel fighters are linked to al-Qaida and other terrorist organizations.

1. Yeah, but he made (at least) one big mistake...

And that one big mistake (i.e., he refused to 'negotiate' any 'democratic' concession with the peaceful-at-start 'uprising' AND his immediate resort to violence against un-armed citizens of LYBIA), in other words, litteraly SHOOTING THEM TO KILL THEM, immediately MADE him a bloody terrarist.

It's too late now. Too bad Gawd-awful should have thought about it before ordering his troops to start shooting...
