Might have been the reason that Kim il-jung whatshisname went into hiding for a month

Who gave what to whom for shipping what to who?

Who gave what to whom for shipping what to who?

And when did they know it?

[TomGuy]

Gaddaffi remembers that "wake up call" from Mr. Regan, and saw Osama run for the caves (where he's still hiding), and Saddam run into a rathole (where he was pulled out by Coalition Forces - a.k.a, the GOOD GUYS).

Gaddaffi ain't stupid.

"Might have been the reason that Kim il-jung whatshisname went into hiding for a month."

Good point, hadn't thought about that.

[RightWhale]

Kim il-jung whatshisname went into hiding for a month

Did Kim crawl into a spider hole with his 9 mm pistol and then get annoyed that nobody was looking for him?

[blam]

"Gaddaffi ain't stupid."

Didn't one of our errant missiles intended for Gaddafi strike the French (Hee,hee) embassy?

Hmmm, wonder if Mattie not-so-bright was half-right
and not only Osama on ice but Jong too, whew!

[LibWhacker]

. . . to begin talks with the International Atomic Energy Authority, the UN nuclear watchdog.

Oh, God, not again . . . PLEASE don't bring them into it. They're totally incompetent and their motives are suspect. Inspectors should be American and British military forces, imo. If Gadaffi doesn't like it, what alternative is there for him?

[Savage Beast]

These thugs understand only one language: power. They consider appeasement and uncertainty to be signs of weakness, and they are probably correct. In confronting these terrorists and their supporters with overwhelming strength, awesome courage, and uncompromising resolve, President Bush achieved far more and brought the world closer to peace than did all the "peace activists" and appeasers combined!

If the Nobel "peace prize" had any meaning--which it doesn't--President Bush would retire the trophy.

[TheSpottedOwl]

The real reason? Kadaffy, or however you spell his name, saw his future last weekend. A stylin' dude like him being dragged out of a hole, looking like a wino? Hahahaha! Who are we gonna hear from next? Kim Il Jong?

Exactly!

Negotiate from a position of strength (power) not weakness.

Saddam tried negotiating from a position of weakness as he was dragged up out of the rathole, and it got him a spot on worldwide TV, being inspected and deloused.

Well sounds like he heard the wakeup call.

From the article it sounds like he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar and now he's going to have to explain it all.

I am looking forward to being able to buy nice vacation property in Libya soon, on the cheap.

"Didn't one of our errant missiles intended for Gaddafi strike the French (Hee,hee) embassy?"

Yeah the "errant" missile accidentally hit a french building only because our pilots were a tad tired from the long flight that had to go all the way around france to get to Libya. france wouldn't let our planes go over their airspace to kick Gaddaffi's ass.

Smack me, smack me, smack me, but I often thought Kadaffi wasn't bad looking in all his gear. He's gotten older in the face now, but he did cut a dashing figure in his day.

I realize that this is the kind of admission that makes some FReepers think women shouldn't be allowed to vote. Thankfully, I don't think about the Dims that way. :)

(no, just terrorist tyrants...shut up, radiohead, before you make it worse...)

[Soddomite Husayne, "looking like a wino?"

Are you asserting that Soddomite Husayne is a wino? I thunk he only drank scotch. It was the fusel oils that done him in, affected his judgment, the taxi cab, the Spam, the Cologne, all those incongruities. If you look at his track record, he seems to have made a lot of very bad calls. But what must we conclude about a race of people who permitted themselves to be held in bondage for thirty years, by a creature with no more judgment or courage than the Arkie White Trash Poofter, the one from OxFag? What part of this scenario am I not seeing? These people, [the Iraqis] were as heavily armed as we are and they permitted themselves to be brutalized and subjugated by a coward. It is as if the poofter Klinton went into Virginia, or West Virginia or Texas or any other sovereign State in the red zone, and said, "Here's how it's going to go down". I guess the operative question is, how long do we have to spoon feed these bondage lovers until they develop the balls to maintain their own freedom.

I wonder what K.A. Daffy can tell us about S.A. DDams WMD...

Yup, I remember. F111's and we lost one.
