So, that’s where he’s keeping his air defenses!?! LOL
Oh, he's a constitutional scholar who graduated from Harvard and taught at the University of Chicago, didn't you know? True, he's never written a paragraph about the Constitution, but he can sense penumbral vibrations at a distance of 500 yards.
Maybe Muammar did it to himself?
I’m in favor of bombing terrorist maniacs with genocide underway.
“I didn’t do it, nobody saw me do it, you can’t prove anything.”
Don't Bogart that joint, my FRiend, ...
I guess Qaddafi didn’t learn the first time around when Reagan lobbed a few two-thousand pounders [with cheese] into his compound ...
How about...
“Moe-amar QuackDaffy”
What would lead you to believe the result of this might be “true democracy”?
Serious question.
The U.S. will not attack Iran. They are too formidable a military power with the ability to screw up the west’s oil supply. No way will we mess with them.
I think the Middle East is lining up for a fulfillment of the war against Israel predicted in Ezekial 37,38. Iran marches against Israel along with various Arab nations Libya is one and God destroys the troops on the mountains of Israel. Maybe another year or two for it to come down.
Damn, that’s the only precipitation they get in that part of the world.
Mullen admitted the next steps in the process were far from clear.
“We’re in a situation now that what we do will depend to some degree on what he does,” Mullen told Fox News Sunday.
Pressed on CBS’s Face the Nation about the endgame, he said that was “very uncertain” and indicated it would ultimately be up to other members of the coalition, rather than the United States, to decide what action to take.
Now, now... this is all about feeling GOOD about ourselves! Plan, schman.
He consulted Soros. That's all the approval he needed.
. But then if he dies he will be a martyr, and if he survives he will be looked at as a hero. Somehow I view this war as a lose/lose situation for the west.
Libya: Mike Mullen admits stalemate could leave Gaddafi in charge
The head of the United States military has admitted that despite the use of prodigious force against Libya a stalemate could ensue in which Col Muammar Gaddafi remained in power.
Opening up the possibility of a rift between the US and Britain and France if the Gaddafi regime does not crumble quickly, he said: “The goals are limited. It’s not about seeing him go. It’s about supporting the United Nations resolution which talked about eliminating his ability to kill his own people.”
In a state television address late Sunday, Col. Gaddafi said he is preparing for a long war and that he won’t concede to Western nations he says only want Libya’s oil. “You are terrorists. You are fighting a people that hasn’t invited you,” he said. “Libya has become a hell in the face of enemies. This is an unjustified aggression.”
The others were scolded and threatened, told that “Libya is not yours. Libya is for all Libyans,” and that they have “no right to interfere in our internal affairs.”
Observers say the embattled leader has become far more desperate since Thursday’s UN security council resolution to use all force necessary against Col. Gaddafi.
From a defence perspective, Col. Gaddafi could be intentionally playing softball with the U.S. president, perhaps interpreting America’s slow entry into conflict as a positive sign, said Jeffrey White, a defence fellow also from the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
“He’s someone who feels he can appeal to Obama, and [it suggests he] thinks Obama could be the weak link because of his dragging his feet on military operations until the last minute,” he said.

Watch for other members of the coalition to decide that Americans will handle the ground war.
