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

That gets my vote for Quote of the Day!

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

Precisely. The numbskulls on the left are so confused--and so bogged down in the quagmire of decadence known by the misnomer of "Liberalism"--that they cannot understand this. Some of these klunks are goofy enough to recommend weakening the U.S. so that no nation will be significantly more powerful than any other. Fortunately, the Americans of the Heartland control the United States, and such lunatics can do little more than rave semicoherently and gnash their teeth in frustration. We must keep it that way.

ABC News is already trying to spin this as something Libya had planned to do all along. They imply at their website that it had nothing to do with Bush's foreign policy, but was just part of Mohmar's attempt to internationalize his country.

What a bunch of crap!

Bush's War on Terror has lead to the capture of Saddam, massive drug confiscations, and this coup in Libya (just in the last week), but they'll never give him credit for it.

Here's the link to the ABC article:

http://abcnews.go.com/wire/World/ap20031220_819.html

Especially notice these two paragraphs:

"The United States and Britain portrayed the announcement as a significant breakthrough in their efforts to curtail the spread of such weapons and keep them from a terrorist organization or hostile country.

It is clear, however, that Gadhafi has tried in recent years to ease tensions with the West, and this step was expected to further improve Libya's international standing."

Yeh, 8 of the 10 Dem candidates, and Hillary, want to sign over sovereignty over to the UN.

Well, the UN has pulled out of Iraq, threatening to pull out of Afghanistan, etc.

I remember a couple of years ago, one of x42's first speeches as x was at Georgetown U (IIRC). At it, he stated that someday the US would be a 3rd rate power in the world, so we needed to play nice, so the future big-kids-on-the-block wouldn't treat us too mean.

That kind of thinking is deplorable, especially from any elected official. The US will remain as strong as the people allow it to be. Unless the people resign their sovereignty, we will never allow our elected to turn us over to the UN.

The socialistic dreamworld headed by the UN and Europhites will have to wait a while. Hopefully, an eternity.

I was O fended like Amnesty International [end sarcasm]


Yeh right! it was delicious.

[ladyinred]

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

You are so right. Trouble is you only get that prize for acting like you are trying to bring peace. Actually trying to do so, gets you grief from the international media instead.

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!

LOL! Did you see the little cobolt blue number he had on in another pic? Daffy Kadaffy is quite the fashion plate of the middle east. No, he does not want the same fate as Hussein.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Gaddafi, truth be told, just didn't want to undergo a dental checkup like Saddam got from US troops.

ABC News is already trying to spin this as something Libya had planned to do all along.

It had nothing to do with Bush. Nothing at all. Muammar was going to do it all along. He decided he didn't want them. Pfooey on Bush.

[HardStarboard]

More evidence that Saddam's capture was the "tipping point" for quite a few events.....and probably more to come!

[mrobison]

Good one.

It's just amazing to me that the liberal media hates Bush so much, they would try to soften Gadhafi's image to make the President look "lucky" or not deserving of credit.

Actually, I can think of several better words than "amazing", but this is a family space.

I have read that Sayf Al-Islam Omar Gaddafi, the son of "Maummar the crazy" is pro American and wants freedom for the Libyan people.

We will see, I am retired from "Marathon Oil Company" and it has a tremendous financial stake in this game. They will be back in Libya muy pronto with hundreds of personnel if all is true. I remember Marathon was devastated in 1986 when we had to leave Libya because of the American boycott.

[RoseofTexas]

Hmmm!

[meyer]

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

I believe that Kadhafi and Saddam have similar knowledge about at least some WMD. Perhaps Saddam's seizure explains Kadhafi's sudden change of heart.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Excellent! This sounds like a book!

Tom Daschle is going to be very very disappointed.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

"...but I often thought Kadaffi wasn't bad looking in all his gear..."

My wife echoed almost the same words, she thought him a bit dashing.

Whoops - sorry about the double post.

I through you were so impressed with my post that you wanted to make sure I heard you... <: o )
