#1 Not to worry. As long as they have Moammar and his sprocket-laden sartorial splendor, there will be strangement in Libya.

#2 I dunno. Muahmmar seems to have internalized the USMC motto in terms of where he wants to be:

No better friend, no worse enemy.

Seems he really wants in on the former, having tasted the latter.

#3 I hope you're right, OS. Still, he is a loon. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw one of his bodyguards.

#5 If Ghadafy's repentence is sincere, and it appears so (he's paying victims, turned over his nuclear program), then let's do something useful with him. There's no use dwelling on the past, this is the 21st century.

#6 Funny you mentioned the USMC since they weren't involved in the Libya bombing but their anthem does mention the Shores of Tripoli and I have to imagine Moammer probably wets himself during that part.

#7 Next thing you know he's gonna convert to Christianity. When he goes to the Vatican and kisses the Pope's ring we'll know he's sincere because the crazies would kill him for it if he did.

#8 Nah, he's got the Lebs after his ass, they want to give him a death sentence on account of some relative of Mucky's that disappeared 30 years ago.

Not that I think he's too worried about creeping Shia, but every little bit helps.
