So, Gaddaffi continues to be the right wingers' hero.
Ghadaffi kept the oil flowing onto the world market. That is ALL that we should care about. How he treats his people is none of our business. He had already agreed to stay in his box and turn over his WMD programs.
Even Gaddafi said that they were behind the insurgency.
yeah but to be fair Gaddafi says alot of things that even if he was telling the truth his other TV staments are so weird that you don't really know what he is talking about.
last time he said "I am dictator and am man who lives in a tent'
which was LOL moment
Does anyone know who the rebels are in Libya .... do they have a leader?
It appears like a helter skelter group without much leadership. I was just wondering who France, England, USA and now NATO have communicated with regarding this rebellion.
If Qaddafi is removed who takes over Libya? Friend or foe for the US?
Who runs Libya is kind of up to the Libyans, don't you think? Well, if RW, probably not, as they feel they have a God given right to decide all things, for all others.

His treatment of the people is very much a concern of the United Nations. How Saddam treated his people should have been a concern of the United Nations. How Pakistan treated its people (East Pakistanis) should have been a concern of the United Nations.
And we being a part of the treaty (along with a treaty, NATO), warrants our engagement in support of, or opposition to Gaddaffi. Libyan conflict is likely causing an international crisis in neighboring nations as well.
So, just because we benefit from Gaddaffi's generosity (?) that we should keep quiet and stay out, regardless of the problems guaranteed? That he is the good guy, just like Saddam was, as he gassed the Kurds?
It seems like things were calming down until we got involved.
The "revolution" was manufactured by the west ... specifically, US-British intelligence and special forces.
The Libyan military kicked their arses (broadcast to the western sheeple as Gadhafi killing his own people), so in order to facilitate a victorious uprising, US-French and now NATO forces had to go in to "save" their covert revolution with overt military assistance. It's really an old game ... pretty obvious ... and not at all what it is presented as by the western media.
Think of it as the Bay of Pigs .... the difference being ... Kennedy refused to order overt military involvement to complete the overthrow of the Cuban government. No such military restraint exists today ... I really don't even see why they bother with the "covert" actions anymore ... the sheeple have proven themselves to be oblivious to reality ... hell .. they could just say Gadhafi had WMD's like they did with Hussein ... and blow Libya up too.
And boy ... the UN, with their No Fly Zone over Libya pretty much OK'd WW III ..... they're already talking about Syria, and several other "rogue" nations that need a little dose of "freedom and democracy" ... otherwise referred to as cruise missiles and and total decimation.
Who runs Libya is kind of up to the Libyans, don't you think?
Obama thinks it's up to him.
