| Khalifa Haftar: The man who left VA to lead the Libyan rebels |
| 2011-04-04 |
| Khalifa Haftar has lived in Virginia for 20 years but now he's back in Libya, trying to knock the rebel force into some kind of shape. For Haftar it's personal. He has never forgiven Gadhafi for letting him rot as a prisoner of war in neighboring Chad after a disastrous military campaign in the 1980s. Well, if Libyan rebels can admit that maybe it was a bad idea to say "hi" to American warplanes by shooting into their airspace, then maybe they could also take a little time off from running about willy-nilly and learn a lesson or two from this guy. |
