#1 In unrelated news the West is begging the Taliban to come to the negotiating table so that they can be part of a transition to a stable Afghanistan where they would exercise political power again.

This time however they would govern with the official blessing of the West, protected by the West, subsidized by the West.

#2 Europe and the United States bear huge responsibility for opening their doors to Qadaffy. Yup.

#6 You know, I don't remember George ever even meeting Qaddaffi. I don't think George would touch that loathsome creature with a ten foot pole.

I do remember that after he renounced his WMD program he sent Connie Rice to tell Qaddaffi that he had better behave himself or we'd kick his butt. It think it was the Euros that ran to his door to kiss and make up, not George.

That dim lightbulb in the White House should go back to community organizing or whatever it was that he did before he was elected President.

I think the Democrats need to do a better job in the future of veting our candidates. He was obviously unqualified then and is clearly in over his head now and has made a complete mess of everything.

#7 Two things I have heard in the news lately that lead me to believe the house on Momo is about to fall: 1) He had to hire forces from outside the country and 2) His family tried to flee to Lebanon. I really hope the picture becomes true for Momo and his clan, they are evil to the core.

#8 A horrific end for Gaddafi
Always with the promises!
And I agree with CyberSarge - importing the foreign mercenaries and rumors of family members trying to decamp. Not promising. Would it be in bad taste to open a pool on it?
Yeah, it would be in bad taste, but I can remember offhand all kinds of dirty pool that Gaddafi (or how-the-heck-ever-his-name-is-spelled) instigated all kinds of dirty deals over the last thirty years. Can we all savor couple of scoops of schadenfreude with some whipped cream and a cherry on top? Thanks.

#9 Some of these North African Arab dictators as well as Iranian dictators rival Idi Amin in being evil SOBs. Our radical left may wake up one day and realize these people are their enemy too.

Oh, my - quite the optimist. I hope you aren't holding your breath on this, John QC...
Anguper Hupomosing9418 - didn't we actually try to kill him at least once? Doesn't that count for anything with these *$^#ing clowns?
