I don’t doubt it. NATO is coming to realize what a stupid war it was anyway. Who was Gaddafi threatening in NATO?

Supposedly, he wrote Congress a few weeks ago asking for a cease fire. What’s changed since then?

If Daffy calls upon Imanutjob with his Chinese & Russian arms to help save him from the Imperial West, that would really complicate Barry's golf schedule.

You know that is a distingt possibility if the US quit suplaying the uros with bombs as they are nearly out themselfs and they have no heart to do the dirty gighting that is required, all he has to do is hang on a few monts longer, just like the Taliband have to do in Afghanistan,
besides, Mohamar is already negotiating with the rebels in Oslo

A whisper in the ear of fooled Americans. Shock!!! POTUS Obama is in Gaddafi’s corner, big time. Why do you think Gaddafi is still running free and unharmed in Libya!!! The Obama cartel of thugs, Farrakhan, Jones, Wright, Ayres, etc. have been bankrolled by Gaddafi!!! When are you citizens going to learn that Barack Hussein Obama is no friend of the American nation, nor any of its people!!! Sad, that you can’t see the forest for the trees!!! You know Obama has wasted millions, soon to be billions of our treasure taking care of his buddy Gaddafi!!

Yes, he is probably correct, we cannot keep borrowing money from china and printing fake money to prop up a failed EU.

Thanks NormsRevenge.
"This is the first time they are facing an armed nation of a millions," he said. "They will be defeated, the alliance will be defeated."
Maybe not, but as soon as the attack began, Gaddafy's course of action was sealed. The only way he'll leave is on a slab.
