I don’t think Bush is laughing at all at what has happened to this country under OBozo’s watch.

So Gaddhaffi's compound was struck,.....but hours later, nobody knows who did it! "Not us" says the Pentagon.

Maybe Muammar did it to himself?

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.

Mostly meant that since O blamed every problem he’s ever had on W, maybe his smarmy arrogance will be finally wiped off his holier than thou face. Also he is pretty much confirming most of the foreign policy decisions of the Bush doctrine, just doing it in an incompetent way.
