Khaddafi Dead, Next Tyrant On Deck?

[Smiling Assassin27]

These guys don't understand that when you live by the ruthless, merciless, and tyrannical sword, you usually die by bazooka. Sadly, this is only the beginning, as the power vacuum is now sure to be filled by guys like Khadafy.

Smiling assassin didn't get his name by accident.

He glories in this -- what a twisted excuse for a human being.

The fact is our nation has plunged N Africa into a blood bath. This is only the start.

[Rohirrim]

Yeah, Gaddafi was a good guy. Just misunderstood. It's all America's fault.

[mhgaffney]

Idiot.

You always miss the point.

This was another dark chapter in covert ops -- another "success" for the US CIA and NATO -- and why?

One word: OIL.

You need to turn off FOX and study up on the real history.

You're an ass. Gaddafi was a butcher. His own people rose up against his tyranny and shot him dead in retribution. I'll bet you can't wipe your ass without wondering whether your toilet paper might not be a part of some conspiracy.

Your problem is you have internalized the US exceptionalism nonsense. That God appointed the US to intervene everywhere on behalf of justice and righteousness.

The problem is that when we do -- we always make things much worse.

There is no evidence that the rebels in Libya have the support of a majority of the Libyan people. On the contrary -- everything I have seen points to a small disgruntled minority that NATO armed and supported with air power -- to create mayhem - and get rid of Khadaffy.

So that western interests could go in there and get the oil.

The losers here are the Libyan people. Whatever you think of Khadaffy -- he plowed large amounts of cash from oil back into his country -- and spread it around the region in development projects.

You ned to explain why -- if Khadaffy was so evil -- the Libyan people had the highest per capita income in Africa.

You are a closed minded liberal boor. A loud mouth -- with nothing between your ears.

You're a ****ing deluded lunatic. I was just listening to a reporter on the streets of Tripoli on NPR. Thousands of Libyans are partying in the streets. She said the streets are filled with people weeping for joy and dancing.

Why do you always find yourself defending the killers of freedom like Gaddafi, and Ahmadjihad, and Chavez, and Hamas?

It is just pathetic/sad/brutal to watch that process happen over and over again...and they are practicaly swimming in a near priceless commodity. Imagine what happens if the well runs dry. (or we replace it.)

Bush and Saddam - One Trillion dollars and thousands of US lives.

Obama and Qaddafi - One Billion dollars and zero US lives.

Everything's gotta be political with you. I guess that's all that really matters to people like you.

[Doggcow]

How come his name gets spelled differently every single post?

Relax, Nancy. Everyone bashes Obama every chance they get, usually with a healthy dose of spin, ignorance and disinformation. I think it's fair to point out here that his policy worked, right? And to juxtapose it against the massive mistakes of the previous administration which people like you blindly supported?

Typical Gaffney. Doesn't bother with the facts, just anti western rhetoric all wrapped up in one of his 'conspiracy' rants.

Celebrations are happening all over the world now that the mass murdering pos you admire so much is dead.

Yep both bin laden and ghadafi dead while obama is prez.yet the presidential candidates on the right will still claim that obama is weak.bank on it

[baja]

A few minutes ago there were 14 guests on this forum. Is that not odd.

[BroncoLifer]

Well, back to the title of this thread.....so many choices for who should be next. I'd be OK with any of Bashar al-Assad, Kim Jong-il, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or Fidel Castro.

[cutthemdown]

What a mess. The Arab spring is really just military taking over Egypt and Islamic rebels Libya. The problem is that America had made some decent headway with those 2 countries and they had played ball in the war on terrorism. The way Obama just turned his back on them will now mean no mideast countries will play ball with America.

Except Gaddafi turned over his nuke program, gave us the Iranian centrifuge design, which helped us thwart Iran. It's Iran and Syria we should have overthrown not Libya and Egypt who helped the regions stability.

Now we have war almost breaking out between Egypt and Israel, yeah great job Mr President. Are you kidding? he totally screwed up the whole region.

The game is still being played. Don't jump to conclusions. The protesters in Egypt are now moving against the army. Libya is totally up in the air. Let's wait and see.

It just seems like he lacked leadership on the whole mess IMO. Now Saudis are all pissed because it seems like we turn on you once enough people protest. You could see how Obama was told enough is enough when they let the Saudis put down the rebellion in Bahrain without a whimper.

In Egypt human rights for Christians at an all time low, so much for freedom. I just don't see any leadership from Obama and now dictators have no reason to make deals with the USA. We turn on you when it suits us. Hell Egypt was like the most stable of them all in terms of helping with Israel. Now we are closer to war then anytime since the 70's.

You are a fool to believe anything on NPR. They have been on the Bush war bandwagon for years.

I am not defending killers. I am defending the sovereignty of nations - -something that you and the knee jerks on the OM do not understand.

I put you -- a lib'rel -- in with the knee jerks and rednecks for a reason - you failed to learn the lessons of VietNam.

Your scorch and burn politics will destroy the planet -- leave it unfit for human life.

Peace is a path -- not the goal.

As I've indicated -- the west repaid Khadaffy with treachery -- something we are very good at.

His mistake was giving up his nuke program.

[cutthemdown]

Actually the goal is survival and power, and peace and war are the tools.
