#5 Actually, I think Fred was being tragically ironic in reference to the Locker B bomber who was released by the caca de pollo Scots judge.

#7 The WH says Uncle Muammar will be out of power by this EOM August 2011???

Ala TOPIX + NEWS KERALA > The Brits have already said or inferred it - iff the Libyuhn Rebels fail to dislodge Uncle Muammar from ruling power, he will likely stay in same unless his INNER CIRCLE abandons = kills? him.

IMO the Muslim Brotherhood + aligned in EGYPT are deliberat refraining from more active roles in post-Mubarak, Constitutionally-mandated Egyptian elex because they want to see iff Uncle Muammar + Regime will survive or fall.

DITTO as per the AQIM - the fall or collapse of the Gaddafi Govt essentially means RADICAL ISLAM WILL LIKELY COME TO DOMINATE ALL OF MUSLIM NORTH AFRICA, + PERHAPS BULK OF CONTESTED CENTRAL AFRICA [Somalia/East Africa => Westward].

MORE IMPORTANTLY, RADICAL ISLAMIST DOMINATION IFF NOT PER SE SOVEREIGN POLITICAL CONTROL OF MOST OR ALL REGIONAL CIVILIAN NUCLEAR PROGRAMS [Energy] FOR LT CONVERSION INTO MILITARY-ORIENTED NUCLEAR PROGRAMS [Strategic Nuclear Arsenals, Asymmetric = Proxy Nuclear Militancy-Terror].
