Now that the west has refused to take any military action to help the rebels fighting Gaddafi, the Crazy Colonel has been emboldened. “Strike Libya?” he said in a speech yesterday. ”We’ll be the ones who strikes you! We struck you in Algeria, in Vietnam.” It appears to be increasingly likely that Gaddafi is going to prevail. He may not have complete control of the country when its done, but he will control the major cities and the oil facilities. He will be emboldened and have billions of dollars of cash thanks to oil exports. He is also making clear that he is going to work to punish those who asked for him to step down (UK, US, and France) and throw his business to those countries who remained neutral and silent (Russia, China, and Germany). President Obama managed to carry out a “policy” that is the worst of both worlds. He did just enough to enrage Gaddafi, but not enough to actually get rid of him. You can’t split the difference when it comes to a civil war. You either sit quiet or you pick sides. Mr. President, how is it possible to come up with such a stupid strategy? President Obama continues to believe that speeches and statements (“Gaddafi should step down”) are tantamount to a policy. Power politics is not a debating society and flowery speeches and expressions of “hope and change” mean nothing at the end of the day. When Obama sat in the Illinois State Senate, he had a habit of voting “present” on certain thorny political issues. When it comes to leading the Free World, ”present” won’t just cut it. It’s a sad day when Hillary Clinton is providing the backbone for a presidential administration.

Gaddafi's Compound was strafed and then the pilot diod a KamiKazer into the compound. An important Gaddafi was seriously injured or killed. Teh USSA MSM is putting out bad info on purpose. Germany/Russia/China ae stopping US. Just like they're taking over Japan.
they dont really want to help the rebels.....

No. They don't. They want the oil. But germany, Italy are playing hard ball with their newest bestest buddies, Russia and China, behind them.
Germany said they were against a no fly zone. the majority of the suicide bombers in Iraq came from the rebel part of Libya which is composed of a different ethnic tribe than Gadafi's. I am pretty sure the State dept is saying one thing in public and doing another in private.
"Keep Your Goddamn Government Hands Off My Medicare!" - Various Tea Party signs.
Iraq is a completely separate issue. Al Qaeda is CIA. The suicide bombers are locals if Military killed. SpecOps if bus stations/mosques.
And the rebels are winning believe it or not. The info coming out is worse than FU 1/Tokyo. Rebels have jets/helos/tanks, defecting battalions. Capturing 100's. Yes, they are taking hits, but they're not retreating.
No, the rebels are losing.
"Keep Your Goddamn Government Hands Off My Medicare!" - Various Tea Party signs.
I tell you they're winning. And they'll be fighting the US soon enough, unless Germany/Russia/China are fighting the US first. BTW, did you hear of the jet fighter who crashed his plane into Qaddafi's compound?
And Japan is dying and the US 'leaders' are scattering. Notice that?
It's a sad day when neocons are once again arguing that U.S. lives should be sacrificed to take sides in a civil war. Have you forgotten that Bush made Qaddafi our ally?
Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse.
Have you forgotten that Bush took Ghaddafi's yellow cake away from him? Have you forgotten Ghaddafi shut up and behaved himself for a good while after Reagan bombed him?
If Jim says they're winning then they are fucking winning. Got it, mister?!!
------------------------------------- If Jim says they're winning then they are fucking winning. Got it, mister?!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Except when you, biff dis agree. LMFAO Here's a close approximation. www.iwallerstein.com/libya-world-left/ But Wallerstein doesn't understand that the pre Libya Feb 17 family empire's not coming back. Or that only a fraction of the oil will as well, which also dooms qaddafi. Qaddafi grabs for power and gets only a handful of sand. 2 jets either defect or shot down-Benghazi. U pic e'm. LMFAO this is fun.
Sorry god, With the Chernobyl On Steroids situation I haven't had time to keep up. "16:16 Abdul Hafeeth Ghoga spokesman for the Transitional Council has just made the following points which we have translated and bring to you in summarised form: * Massacres in Misratah after city cut off all communications. Strikes on the city from land air and sea * Zwara and Western Mountains as well * Also Benghazi today, 4 strikes in Benina and Bu Atni, they attempted to destroy airport. This is Gaddafi’s response to the people’s revolution * Regarding the int. community, we think that they will agree even on strategic bombardments against Gaddafi’s forces. * All the people of Libya have done is demonstrate for their basic rights * We have heard that they have agreed the text for the no-fly zone and are in the process of discussing what is beyond a no-fly zone. * We are against land troops totally. But if there is support under the umbrella of UN, then we agree with that. * Things in Ajdabiya are currently swinging in favour of the revolution. Gaddafi is doing nothing more than bombarding mercilessly and without distinction. * Saif can speak as much as he wants. As far as REAL progress, then that is non-existant on the ground. He knows that a no-fly zone is coming nearer and nearer, so they’re trying to kill as much as they can before it is implemented. 16:07 Al Jazeera Arabic is reporting that Gaddafi’s fighter jets are bombarding for the third time Benina airbase which has defected and in the control of the revolutionaries. They are attempting to destroy the airbase to prevent defected fighter jets from taking off. There are also reports that barracks belonging to the defected 36th battalion." per libyafeb17.com
Qaddafi blew up Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie AFTER Reagan bombed him. You guys always flunk History 101.

Ping to 15, another example of the failure of the U.S. Education System.

Reagan was a lame duck just 4 weeks from leaving office when Ghaddafi blew up flight 103. Reagan couldn't prove it and retaliate in that short of time, and Moamar knew it.
Qaddafi ordered the attack in retaliation for the death of his child. Please pick up a history book.
Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse.
And another Republican was elected to take the helm. Are you saying that the exCIA Bush wouldn't have been able to decipher the culprits?

So? And Reagan blew up his Ghaddafi's tent because Ghaddafi had blown up Americans in Berlin. Too bad Reagan didn't get all of Ghaddaffi's kids, and him too. But Ghaddafi behaved himself after that until Reagan couldn't retaliate.
Wouldn't, couldn't, or didn't, or didn't want too, that much is obvious.
Yeah, planning an sophisticated attack like the one he carried out doesn't take any time.
Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse.
Ghaddafi was on good behavior all this time? You guys will make anything up to serve your self serving narratives.

No POTUS w/ 4 weeks left in office is going to launch a military operation, unless we got nuked, or something equally drastic. He's going to leave it for the next guy.
I'll remember this the next time I hear Conservatives complaint that Clinton didn't retaliate for the Cole attack.

Have another hit on your bong, mcgoon. Or are you just an illiterate libtard? Did they complete the Gulf Coast evacuation yet?
Only if we are nuked or some thing equally drastic? Damn I didn't realize how vulnerable we are at the end of each president's term. I wonder if the military is aware of this unwritten rule?
"http://first-draft-blog.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c5ced53ef0148c7a28c4b970c-320wi"
It's a sorry pass when Gaddafi speaks from a higher moral ground than the president. But then, look at our president.
Well, [W.A-R.'s] got to do something for attention, his multiple personalities aren't speaking to him any more, and his imaginary friends keep finding excuses not to come over.
The neo-commie war mongers aren't going to stop until the U.S. runs every country in the Middle East, except of course Israel.
You guys always flunk History 101. Yeah, YOU guys always do. Libyans did it, but it wasn't Qadaffi.
Now, I know I’m not going to change the minds of any of the True Believers…those who read all of Reverend Al’s sermons, and say things like, “You know, global warming can mean warmer OR colder, wetter OR drier, cloudier OR sunnier, windier OR calmer, …”. Can I get an ‘amen’??
What?

The Libyan Minister of Justice says he has proof that Qadaffi ordered the PanAm bombing. Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi ordered the 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, a former Libyan cabinet minister was quoted as saying by a Swedish newspaper on Wednesday. You have the courage to tell the masses what no politician told them: you are inferior and all the improvements in your conditions which you simply take for granted you owe to the efforts of men who are better than you. Ludwig von Mises in a letter to Ayn Rand
You wrote; "Libyans did it, but it wasn't Qadaffi." So are you implying Qadaffi is innocent?

Are you sure about that??????? Even though I don't really trust Wiki that much it was the only really decent account of what happened. This is an excerpt from their article...... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombi ng_of_Libya "According to medical staff in the nearby hospital, two dozen people arrived in military uniform and two without uniform.[13] The total Libyan casualties is estimated at 60, including the bombed airbases. However, the regime created a propaganda campaign with varying stories about killed civilians. For example, the regime's media claimed that Gaddafi's "adopted daughter" had been killed. The name "Hanna" was given to the press. Nobody had ever heard of such daughter. Information about her was also conflicting, for example, her age varied from 12 months to 6 years. Despite absurdity and variations of the stories, the campaign was so successful that a large proportion of the Western press reported the regime's stories as facts".[13][14]
