Once tripoli falls there will likely be a mad rush to gain the oil fields....and the thugs to the borders will be apprehended...they have the borders apparently covered and waiting now.

>The best we can hope for now is that whoever succeeds Gaddafi isn’t an islamist.

militias loyal to Moammar Gadhafi opened fire on protesters streaming out of mosques in the Libyan capital on Friday

Ends that hope I think...

“Ga-daffy” lives in his own mind 100% of the time. Total loss of reality.

How this whole thing plays out might out be as good as dome here in the US might hope for. You can bet allot of talk behind the scenes among leaders on how this will be set up...but this war will not be over once he’s gone.

This is Shia (Iran) versus Sunni (Saudis) and this war has been going on for almost 1400 years. The Shia are on the march.

Sadat/Mubarak, The Shah, Saddam, Khadaffy, house of Saud (scum), Baharain, etc were all creations of the British and USA. We would accept benevolent dictators over hard core islamists. It worked for a few decades. Taking down Saddam opened up the door for Shia.

The US open borders policy and no drilling here energy policy was a bigger contributor to 9/11. We should have left the region alone.

When brainwashed Americans drooling at HD propaganda elected a muslim - who are we to criticize?

La gente que no me ama, no merece vivir

Anybody speaks this lingo better than I, please jump in. Sounds to me like "People who don't love me, don't deserve to live." Not, "if they don't love me, I don't deserve to live."

Despite those hopeful they will have a better life...things won’t settle down with Gaddafi gone alone. They will want the Internationalcommunity to assist monetarily to re-build their country.....they are saying not so...but too many in the nation are uneducated and do not have the skills required for that understaking....not sure how this will play out...but they will have to allow outside intervention before they even begin to get on their feet..

And then......the Islamic thugs will wait til the heavy lifting is done and come in like a storm.

even doing nothing is somewhat helpful. Not condemning the crackdown until after the fact

It’s “People who don’t love me, don’t deserve to live”.

I’ve been trying to make that point to other online friends.

They think I’m heartless and evil.

Ain’t that the truth!!!

How about Berta & Jake—with her as his guardian/housekeeper as he transitions from high school to vacational school or college? They can continue to live in Charlie’s house because “Charlie left it to Jake & Berta in his will”??

The smell of freedom in the air is intoxicating for those who have not known it...but know what it “looks” like. We all want people to be free...but in the ME situation freedom for them is not the same as we know in the west...nor can it be until they trash the Koran and the Mullahs who instruct it.

The Islamic leadership throughout the ME will never let the control of the people, via the Koran and it’s teachings, go. It’s what keeps them in power....and as long as the people believe in Muhammed and the Koran they will never be free of the Islamic leadership. Not going to happen.

Many of the islamic thugs will do the heavy lifting. That is how they win followers.

We have ignored that aspect, and it will hurt us.

I am imagining a crowd coming down a street, with one guy stationed at a Gatling gun waiting for them with thousands of rounds of ammo.

It seems like total chaos with the civilians on both sides too. Youtube video of a merc being assaulted and protected the crowd. WARNING: graphic and intense:

I read a quick twit that the mercs are realizing the value of social media and are trying to cut off power and destroy hubs.

THey are closer to getting their caliphate than I ever expected them to get, at least until a couple of years ago.
