Libyans OKd For U.S. Flight Schools, Nuclear Science - Forget Benghazi and Evacuated Embassy Islamic terrorists of the world have cause to celebrate, at least those with Libyan passports. The United States, under the enlightened guidance of B. Hussein Obama has decided to lift the restriction on Libyans attending flight schools in the United States. They can also now receive training in nuclear science. The change in policy does seem a bit odd, considering that the United States was just forced to close our embassy in Tripoli and terrorists closed our diplomatic station in Benghazi for us less than two years ago. The supposed justification for lifting the ban is that it is no longer necessary or relevant, as the two countries have successfully worked to normalize their relationship. Usually open, fully functional embassies are an indicator of normal relationships. We dont have one. If things are too chaotic and their citizens too unruly for an embassy, how can flight schools or nuclear technology be a good idea? The naive leadership of the United States, if it can accurately be described as leadership, places much more emphasis on how they label a nation and empty promises than they do on a track record and substance. It is clear to even the most casual observer that Libya is a hotbed of Islamic unrest, with the now customary America-hating factions holding significant influence over large segments of their populations. America is not obligated in any way to be the Job Corps for Arab states. Let them get their training and their visas in some other nation. The presently banned careers of aviation maintenance, flight operations, or nuclear-related fields should remain banned. If anything, they were less of a risk with Gaddafi in power than they are now under anarchy. Weve got plenty of other crises to deal with already, thanks to this regime. We dont need to go exploring for more. A DHS spokesman, S.Y. Lee, told the Washington FreeBeaconthat the Obama administration is reviewing its policies towards Libya to see how they might be updated to better align with U.S. interests in light of its revolution. Again, the naivet of the community organizer is exposed. Post- revolution Libya is no bargain and that is not an effective selling point. Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R., Va.) accused DHS of stonewalling and turning a blind eye to real terrorist threats that exist in Libya today. He released a statement saying, The House Judiciary Committee has repeatedly sought information about the Administrations policy reversal but political appointees at the Department of Homeland Security have stonewalled the Committees requests and have not articulated why it is in Americans best interests to change policy. He added, Given the ongoing volatility in Libya, it is unconscionable and completely irresponsible that the Administration plans to lift a longstanding policy that protects Americans and our national security from threats in the region. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R., S.C.) also slammed the administrations decision to reverse the ban. He said, The burden of proof for advocating a change in the status quo lies with the Administration. Is post-revolutionary Libya secure enough to change the rules? Why now? He asked, What evidence does the Administration have to assert the relationship between Libya and the US has indeed normalized? Gowdy added, It is extremely concerning that DHS is moving forward with these plans, but has not provided information on the policy change despite repeated requests from Members.
