Important moves. This article is worth reading in its entirety. Note that the forces who seized the oil pipeline are 'unknown'. Very powerful groups are trying to break off eastern Libya. Anything could happen from now on.

I understand why Obama backed the war against Kaddafi. Because he’s a Muslim who supports Muslim terrorists. And I understand why Cameron backed it, because he’s a jerk.

But I really, really didn’t, and still don’t, understand why the French backed it. They rely on North African oil, and giving Libya to the Muslim Brotherhood was NOT the way to ensure their oil supply. Or to ensure their semi-colonial connections with the black African countries further south.

The US govt, and the State Dept, seem to have forgotten Al Qaeda.

So I suppose we can, too. Problem is, they remember us.

One may ask, why doesn’t ‘So&So’ run for office, he’s really smart, successful and seems so to have a lot of common sense? Well, those people are too busy being smart, successful and figuring out common sense solutions to problems.

Point being, it seems like this latest batch of politicians are dumber than fuc*ing dirt. Nothing but amateurs. They’re shining examples of liberal/progressives that believe that the world is nothing but unicorns, rainbows and lollipops.

Obviously Ghadafi, as much of a scumbag as he was, was playing nice for fear that his head was the next one on the chopping block. Fear or Respect, whichever works. So, the geniuses of France, England and our very own CIC, decide to get rid of him. Never thinking about what will follow. And now they’ve created a fine mess. Imagine that.

They needed Libya’s Gold.

Now that they have it, it can burn to the ground.
