Well, I can understand why Obama is involved. He wants to help the Muslim terrorists take over all the Arab states.
But why on earth has Italy allowed itself to get involved? This is war in the Mediterranean, right in their neighborhood. Did they really expect to help bomb Libya and not have Libya bomb them in return? Or their ships or citizens? Is Kaddafi just supposed to take it, and never retaliate?
I certainly don’t want to see any Italians killed. But what on earth are they thinking of? And France? I know they have colonial ambitions in Chad and the Ivory Coast, but why on earth do they want to provoke and alienate Kaddafi?
Italy, France, etc. are involved because they get a significant percentage of their best oil from Libya. We think gas prices are high here, they are at least double over there. Also 2/3 to 3/4 of the oil comes from the east which could start exporting again if Kadaffi would settle down. I think the son that was killed is Saif-al-Arab, who was a playboy type, and reported by the Iranians to have defected in Feb. 2011. Paranoid question—did Q trick NATO into killing off his “ungrateful” useless son??? It would be a useful pity ploy in some circles.
All the terrorists are Democrats now; hope and change ...
