I am no fan of Rand Paul. He's the same moron his father is.
That being said ..
"Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night decided to go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make?"
The difference is, that's a lie .. a gigantic one.
A protest or guys out for a walk has nothing to do with the truth.
It was an armed and well-staged attack that blocked off tthe streets and escape routes.
If Rand Paul had a brain, there was his argument .. one that he didn't pursue.
It was an attack by the Green Resistance .. which still attacks the puppet government.
The bullshit lie the Obama Administration wants everyone to believe is that the Libyans welcomed that NATO and Obama destruction of their country.
These hearings are a farce.
Occupation Regime Prime Minister warns of tough action after deadly clashes in Tripoli
Tripoli, 10 January 2013
The Puppet Prime Minister of the Illegal Occupation Regime seeking to rule Libya unsuccessfully after 2 years of trying, Ali Zeidan, has warned yet again that lawlessness will not be tolerated with the appeal to give an easy time for the Euromerican capitalists and local “rat” allies falling on deaf ears.
The “government”, he has said, was moving forward in the building of state institutions but there were “some entities” which wanted Libya to remain in chaos “in order for them to accomplish their interests”. He did not specify who he had in mind but said that the government would “not allow any obstacles to hinder our work or stop us”.
However it is well known that the 95% of Libyans who want the return of the Jamahiriya socialism and direct democracy and the active popular resistance are hindering efforts and will not cease putting up a fight until Libya is free of what they call the “rats” — the 5% reactionaries who have brought chaos and destruction.
With an estimated 60,000 killed in the war to occupy Libya and install the puppet regime (after admission by the “rats” that they lost only 4,000 and not 50,000 as previously claimed), and around 10,000 political prisoners, and one million Libyans — almost a quarter of the population — forced into exile, this is not surprising.
Traitor Zeidan’s comments, made at a “cabinet” meeting on Wednesday, followed days of disturbances in Tripoli in which several people died and were injured during pitched gun battles.
The clashes reignited on Monday when, following the death of an alleged drugs dealer from the capital’s Fashloum district, angry locals attacked the militia supposedly responsible for his death, while youngsters armed with machine guns closed roads in the area.
According to Rat Interior Ministry Undersecretary Omar El Khadrawi, the dead man had been killed — “unlawfully” he said — by a support unit linked to the SSC commanded by Abdel-Raouf Karrah based at Mitiga airbase. (here is the link from the Libyan Herald which lets not forget it belongs to MI6= London Times-

He did not name the unit but Karrah is head of the Nawasi brigade, widely viewed in Tripoli as Islamist.
Possibly because there was no response from the police, army or SSC at the time, since these are all tied up trying to keep the would-be rulers of Libya safe and overwhelmed by crime in general — the murder rate is up 500% in the past 2 years even according to the massaged figures of the regime — the lawlessness quickly spread, resulting in the deaths of at least two more people.
Khadrawi said that one man, who, he named by as Mohamed Albuashi, was killed in a clash in the area of Ghrarat, Suk-Jumua. An unspecified support unit then managed to calm tempers but while it was on its way back to base, it was attacked by the Ejadida prison near Fornaj. In the fighting, one man was killed and five others wounded, one of them seriously. This, Khadrawi said, ratcheted up tensions in the Fashloum and Belkhair areas from where locals then went and attacked Karrah’s base at Mitiga airport.
The Prime Rat Minister has announced that Karrah is to be questioned. He said that he will be held accountable if there is a case against him.
Responding to Khadrawi’s call for an end to public lawlessness, the illegal occupation regime’s so-called SSC (“Supreme Security Committee”) in Tripoli yesterday announced it would take action against anyone closing roads, causing harm to the public or damaging private or public property. In particular it called on parents to take control of their children and prevent them from causing such damage to property.
