Amazing. And in the midst of this, a civil war.

I suspect that not a single penny of the cost came from Libyan pockets. Probably didn’t have a lot of involvement in the engineering either.

They are oil rich so can finance all the engineering and construction that they want, and if what you say is true, why did it all end with the execution of Khadafy. Khadafy was nuts, but he did have a vision, and it was a great vision. I hope they pick up at some point where he left off.

Does the Sahara have aquifers (perhaps deep well reachable?) that can be tapped to regreen the desert if funding were there to drill and pipe it and energy pump it out and around?

I mean, California could solve its water shortages with more reservoirs and piping, combined with desalination plants along the ocean, correct? If they had the will to do so.

What’s going to happen to the aquifers after a few decades of heavy draw of water from them?

I should add that there is a huge volume of water there, but that doesn’t mean it is all usable, without heavy processing.

Who do you think paid for it? I don't think they get much foreign aid.

I'm guessing that Libya did pay for it, using oil proceeds.

If it’s invested in soil reclamation and agriculture, they’ll have enough wealth, along with the oil, to make desalinization plants along the Med, and the infrastructure to utilize it. They could be a second Israel.

Before it was completed, Hillary’s War intervened, relentlessly bombing the pumping stations and key pipeline junctures. The Great Man Made River was no more, and has not been repaired since. Libya is still a water poor country. Again.

It will remain that way until some muslim dictator arises again.

The civil war has seen no repairs.

Its dead, Jim.

One of another thousand reasons why Hillary’s going to rot in hell.

KGB-Puppet-Posters have a mass saddy at the demise and absence of a KGB-Puppet-Dictator

Admit it, you only liked Muammar when he was on the KGB chain - sending oil to Cuba and ComBloc, getting greenbacks thru smuggling and spreading-the-wealth-around via jet-setting KGB operators. The Happy Times.

Did you go to stupid school to become this dense? Seriously. Now I’m a KGB puppet, and not a globalist Biden acolyte out to get the good, Christian Vladimir Putin for his opposition to western satanism? I do have a posting history, you know. At least get your slanders straight by looking it up. Khadafy was nuts. I don’t think even the KGB would have had him except as a useful idiot. The artificial river, however, was a great idea that unfortunately was not completed.

Libya didn’t do it. The surviving and seriously capable son of Muamar Kadafi was the champion of the manmade river mega project.

Hillary failed in her efforts to get him killed as well. The project would have been completed years ago but for the treachery of Hillary Clinton.

Exactly. It could have changed the calculus for the whole region, and brought some prosperity to Africa and the rest of the Middle East for a change. That b!tch just couldn’t have that, so she Arab Spring-ed their a@@ back into third world failure.

Thanks, will do. Just carrying on long Freeper tradition of commenting without really reading the post.
