A rocket hit a fuel storage tank in a chaotic battle for Tripoli airport that has all but closed off international flights to Libya, leaving fire-fighters struggling to extinguish a giant conflagration.
Foreign governments have looked on powerless as anarchy sweeps across the North African oil producer, three years after NATO bombardment helped topple dictator Muammar Gaddafi. They have urged nationals to leave Libya and have pulled diplomats out after two weeks of clashes among rival factions killed nearly 160 people in Tripoli and the eastern city of Benghazi.

This is what you get when Obama intervenes. The work of Satan continues.

Bush was an idiot for bombing and taking out QuadaffiYep - I often have debates with a lib I work with - I asked him how he would be reacting if Bush were doing what Obama has done. Just as I explained that he recently denied "help" to his own son while thinking it's OK for the government to take his money to give to those far less worthy - he tried to think and could only simper like an idiot...libs have something broken in their brains that defies all logic and resists all truth.

Actually, what is unfolding are the pent up problems of generations now bubbling up to the surface. Satan is not involved

DownInFlames, the "board" as determined that you have not been sufficiently brain-washed, please report to "re-education camp". Until you report, repeat after me:
Sad, but you know this is what the lefties are saying...

LMBO! That’s funny right there, or would be if I didn’t think a bunch of Lefties probably believe that.
