In his statement marking the death of Muhammar Gaddafi last week, President Obama inserted a mystifying passage: [T]he Libyan people now have a great responsibility to build an inclusive and tolerant and democratic Libya that stands as the ultimate rebuke to Qaddafis dictatorship .
An inclusive and tolerant and democratic Libya. Can we mull that over with a glass of wine at the faculty club?
Obama added this it would be wrong to call it a demand, more of a request or an imprecation, yoking heterogeneous ideas by violence together, like metaphysical poetry: And we call on our Libyan friends to continue to work with the international community to secure dangerous materials, and to respect the human rights of all Libyans - including those who have been detained.
Now Obama must have known what we were thinking, so he also added this somewhat self-refuting observation: Were under no illusions Libya will travel a long and winding road to full democracy.
A long and winding road. Isnt that a Beatles song? Why leave me standing here? Let me know the way.
No sooner had Obama read his statement than Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, the chairman of the National Transitional Council and de facto president, announced that Libyan laws would have Sharia as their basic source. Just to get the ball rolling, he immediately lifted one law from Gaddafis era that he said was in conflict with Sharia the law banning polygamy. Happy days are here again.
He went a step further. He announced that in future bank regulations would ban the charging of interest, in line with Sharia. Interest creates disease and hatred among people, he explained.
Obama foresaw that [t]here w[ould] be difficult days ahead. But did he think they would come quite this soon?
Lets see. There is precisely one Middle Eastern country that answers to the description of inclusive, tolerant, democratic and free. One of these days Obama might even get around to saluting it.
Obama’s a tool. If his wife and daughters had to live under Shariah law he might wake up.
Never. Obama is working tirelessly to establish an Islamist Greater Caliphate which will attack Israel and try to kill or expel every Jew and Christian from the Middle East.
The new Libyan rulers have already said that sharia law will be the basis of all government actions.
This is what results from the worthless, corrupt, incompetent, democrat party; domestic policy that is f’ked and foreign policy that is f’ked.
FUBO & FAD
Wisdom is facing reality.
The wise acknowledge reality and decided what to do about it.
The stupid get lost in their foolishness and wind up making matters worse.
Ultimately the wise prevail over the stupid, if possible by circumnavigating them, if necessary by kicking them out of the way.
If they can, the wise protect the stupid. If they can't they have no choice but to let them drown in their own stupidity.
Well at a minimum Libya has been defanged militarily, for awhile.
Yes a tool for Communism.
He is also a FOOL. . . . .which is what I think you meant to type, since "T" is 45 degrees from "F"
Qaddafi gave up his WMD programs a few years back. If anything, Libya has become a military threat again, at least to Israel.
“to build an inclusive and tolerant and democratic Libya that stands as the ultimate rebuke to Qaddafis “
YEah Right,
The lybian people is hurridely building Churches,Synagogue and Temples to welcome and accomodate the freedom of religion.
Tripoli is fast becoming the San francisco of the middle -east. Soon in the desert of Lybia we shall gamble all day ,all night as if in Las Vegas.
Can´t wait to be able to mix with the crowds of men and women.
I DON`T THINK SO. The lybians have chosen Islamists and will suffer even more than under Qadaffi.
Their choice,hope they don´t come crying.
No, I meant tool, although fool works too.
“Well at a minimum Libya has been defanged militarily, for awhile.”
Are you kidding? All of his Anti aircraft missiles have walked into the desert and are loosed on the world. Billions have poured into the country to buy the rebels weapons and now all that is where? The military might of Libya is in chaos. Muslim chaos. Not good.
Reagan and Bush defanged Libya. Obama poured gas on a fire.
No tanks no planes no nothing. They are defanged but it won’t last long.
To quote Homer Simpson, "But you're living in a world of make-believe. With flowers and bells and leprechauns, and magic frogs with funny little hats."
OBAMA: Were under no illusions Libya will travel a long and winding road to full democracy.
Mustafa Abdul-Jalil: ...chairman of the National Transitional Council and de facto president, announced that Libyan laws would have Sharia as their basic source.

'To my Dear Obama, our son', says Gaddafi, defending attack on rebels
CAIRO: Calling Barack Obama as "our son", Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi sent a message to the US President defending his decision to attack the rebels fighting to overthrow him.
Obamas Ties to the Nation of Islam and Libya
In 1984, Louis Farrakhan and Reverend Jeremiah Wright traveled to Libya to be the guests of Muammar al-Gaddafi in Libya. This visit led to Farrakhan becoming the recipient of an interest free $5 million loan in 1985. Nice terms, if you can get them.
Now Obama is glad his partner in Islamic crime is dead?
I don't think so, what a phoney opportunist!
But he got exactly what he wanted.
Remove any form of decent non-Islamic government from that region and let his Muslim Brotherhood put in Islamic Sharia law and all the other trappings of repressive muslim terrorism regimes.
Obama must be getting Matthew's tingle up his leg.
