Libya is in danger of falling into the hands of Islamic extremists if a stable government is not rapidly established, Nato’s secretary-general warned last night.

In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Islamic extremists would “try to exploit” any weaknesses created as the country tried to rebuild after four decades of Col Muammar Gaddafi’s rule.

Mr Rasmussen was speaking amid growing evidence of splits in the rebel leadership in Tripoli. His words will cast a damper over the euphoria sweeping Tripoli in the wake of the revolution.

His warning came as the head of the National Transitional Council, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, told cheering crowds in Tripoli that Islamic shariah law would be the “main source” of legislation in the new Libya.

And Hussein says, “Mission Accomplished”

NOW they tell us????? What’re we gonna DO?????

[rockvillem]

Man, the next thing you know NATO is going to tell us that the Pope might be Catholic and bears might **** in the woods.

If you break it you own it....

[pieceofthepuzzle]

Why not? America already has.

[Evil Slayer]

Glenn Beck was telling us years ago that this would happen.

[Just mythoughts]

Well just ‘duh’. Has anyone told old lord McCain yet? Now how much has this disposing of Mo-a-mar cost US?

[himno hero]

.... and there were great celebrations and jubilance in the White House. America’s resources had been used to successfully remove one stumbling block to the North Africa caliphate after being told it was about “democracy”.

[Repeal The 17th]

No, duh!
Just what was the mission, here, anyway?
NATO seems to have become as dumb as a box of rocks.

[RatRipper]

Could???? . . . Did??? . . .

It’s already in the hands of the islamic scum. Unless the majority of the people there wake up from the 7th century
they are doomed to a life in hell. Rapists, pedophiles and brain dead leaders is their fate now.

wouldn't it have been better to contemplate that prior to the bombing runs?
