The Obama administration is preparing to follow Britain in recognizing the rebel National Transitional Council as the official government of Libya by approving an embassy in Washington DC, which given the fact that the rebel army is spearheaded by Al-Qaeda militants who have killed U.S. troops would equate to Obama handing terrorists a diplomatic outpost on U.S. soil.
“The United States said Wednesday it was reviewing a request by Libya’s rebels to open an embassy in Washington, following Britain which expelled diplomats from Moamer Kadhafi’s regime,”

Al Qaeda is a mercenary army. Al Qaeda MAY HAVE BEEN hired by the rebels in Libya. Al Qaeda DOES NOT COMPRISE the government of the rebels in Libya. Al Qaeda WILL NOT be able to use this embassy for their own official business.
Pure hysterical Alex Jones disinformation. Of course, nobody will read this post and nobody will care, because SENSATIONALISM beats REASON and TRUTH any day of the week.

"Reviewing a request" is not even in the same ballpark as "Obama to approve a request". Nowhere does it say anywhere that Obama is going to approve the request.
You people need to stop believing and spreading all of the fear-mongering that goes on at Infowars and other places and do your own research before posting stories such as these.

Its just going to be the libyan embassy, it doesnt matter who is running it. There may well be Al Quaeda operating within the libyan rebels but i doubt they will be wanting to run the country and be in charge of diplomacy in the US.

Maybe its just me, but the fact that they are even REVEIWING the requst is enough to make me sick. The actual leader of the country (who they have tried to kill, illegally) is still there. But then again, Al-qaeda is actually CIA so really they've been in the US since the 70's.
And again, AJ has been called many things but i think you can agree that he does stand up for the consitution and the liberty of US citizens... I think some times he has to fear monger to get points across. The average US citizen is so lazy, that they need something to shock them into life, shock them into actually doing something and stop being so damn apathetic and controlled by their government and media
