5. Another leader who trusted the US. Why do any of them do it?
 Well, another day in Paradise. Thank gawd all Americans have jobs, health care, and good education and we have money to blow on useless overseas wars.

I think you meant to say "Obama" as the GOP kept giving him the pimp hand (which you people complained about incessantly).

9. A letter to Goldman Sachs:

Yo, rich guys.

You had something in common with Khaddafi. Both of you controlled BILLIONS, Both believed that money buys you security, and both of you are wrong.

Unless you mend your ways, you, too will lose your power and your riches.

People power always wins out in the end.

15. Did I miss the part about Chavez's being a terrorist or sponsoring any? Well, maybe if you're an
 oil-igarch.

22. 10/1/2011: Hugo Chavez sends solidarity to Gaddafi, Syria
 (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Saturday he was praying for Libya's deposed leader Muammar Gaddafi and also sent a message of solidarity to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad against "Yankee" aggression.

Chavez -- who has inherited Fidel Castro's mantle as Washington's main irritant in Latin America -- views the wave of uprisings in the Arab world as Western-led destabilization and has been a strong ally of Gaddafi.

"The Libyans are resisting the invasion and aggression. I ask God to protect the life of our brother Muammar Gaddafi. They're hunting him down to kill him," he said.

"No one knows where Gaddafi is, I think he went off to the desert ... to lead the resistance. What else can he do?"

18. You said something "good!" 
 Agreed, in every way.

Some people here think that we treated Libya as an ally. Nothing could be further from the truth. Libya, despite what McCain, Rumsfeld, Cheney, and others might have said in public, or in photo ops with Khaddafi.

He was a cruel, deadly, and unpredictable tyrant. The world is better off without him. Now, if Libya can hold its shit together long enough to prevent another strong man from taking it over, even better. 

An image search of: Bush Gaddafi, Cheney Gaddafi, Rumsfeld Gaddafi; fails to produce similar results.

25. "terrorize Africa" my ass
 I bet you are one of those who think Africa is a country. Truth be told, he did not terrorize any African country, he infact gave employment to lots of African from professors, to engineers to unkilled workers. Its only the west who did not like him. Yes, he was a tyrannt, but unlike 90% of the African leaders/tyrannts/elected presidents, he actually brought his people together and made improvement on the lives of his people.

American does a lot of good in the world but he should try and mind his business with the internal affairs of other countries. Especially since he back worse tyrannts in Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Baharain and Jordan

Freepers lamenting the passing of Gadaffi
 Obama wanted him dead so he could hand lybia over to his radical islamic buds.

Gadaffi was no nice guy, but he and his all-girl guards and bizarre costumes are going to look pretty good to Libyans after a couple of months of Islamist dictatorship. And that’s what’s coming, as Obama and his minions are well aware.

I think the Obama people are expecting a huge bump in the polls off of this, something he’s hoping he can keep up and stable until Nov 2012. In other words, he’s hoping this will revitalize his campaign... except no one really cares. It’s hard to get support from Americans for this when none of them (including members of Congress) have any idea or were given any justification whatsoever for Obama’s illegal war there. Yet another failure by the president who yesterday was telling Jake Tappert just how amazing he is as president.

Perhaps Obama and the leftoids were right - it does look as if we could learn something from these foreign cultures.

Obama to hold a press conference in a few moments to explain how he was actually on the missioin that got em’

Along with the names and addresses of all the soldiers that were on the mission.

NATO and foreign insurgents got rid of Gadhafi, the people didn't rise up.

26 posted on Thursday, October 20, 2011 10:21:52 AM by dfwgator

So what was the reason Obama wanted him taken out again? Was it the hijackings back in the day, did he play a part in terror attacks or resources (linked to our national security), did he put the underwear on the Christmas bomber?

What was the rationale besides R2P?

I’m no fan of him. I see Christians killed and churches burned; girls and women raped, killed, acid thrown in their faces, more visas for Iranians and other terror pushing countries and nada.

Is it me?

Maybe I missed it.

In which one of those deliberately-selected citations was any person lamenting the loss of Q'Daffy?

I saw warning that the Islamo-DU'ers replacing him might be worse than him but one look at Iran, Venezuela and Cuba proves this out.

I saw people mocking Obama's muddled military machismo, but no pining for the lost dictator.

So what did I miss?

...and his war-profiteering fatcal oil crony, Dickie 'Five-military-deferments' Cheney (R).

Freepers, Baggers, and other assorted Republicon SuckerPuppets luv their quisling chickenhawk so-called 'leaders' but they are (understandably) ashamed to admit it, and to admit the EPIC FAIL they brought to Iraq, Afghanistan, bin Laden (R - Saudi), and Col. QuackDaffy (R - Libyan Variety)

Harkin, Murtha, Kerry

Any of those ring a bell?

6. their schtick is to oppose a political party... no thought... no consideration for truth

just purely simpleton opposition and they spin a story to suit that opposition to make it digestible for their brainwashed conservative dweebs. Manufactured outrage...

Remind me why you suddenly support Libya when you oppose Iraq and A-stan.

Ummm, dickweed, perhaps you failed to notice that when Bush was President, Moe the Q foreswore terrorism and abandoned his nuclear ambitions, without us expending a single million-dollar-per-each cruise missile on him?  No, I thought not.  That would have involved paying attention and remembering things for more than 30 seconds.

You act as if he has some sort of disability.

If Bush had gone to war against Q'Daffy then the charge would have been that Bush is an imperialist cowboy who loves to destroy the lives of soldiers the way a petulant child sweeps away tin figurines with a wave of its arm.

They know this even if they refuse to admit it. For us to pretend they don't know this is to delude ourselves on their behalf.

Who's Obama gonna kill next year, when it will start to actually matter in the election?  My money is on a lot of the Arab Spring having turned into the Islamist Dawn by then.

I respectfully disagree.  The DUmmies are not only OK with their President killing despots and dictators, and though they will not put it in writing, I'd bet money that you'd hear at many Occupy gatherings that this is just one more step to paving the way to aid the Middle East in getting rid of the Joooooooooos.  
Edited to add, I thought the inaction of the killing of the Coptic christians in Egypt spoke volumes.

I'm not disagreeing with your point, however what I'm saying is that any poll bounce with the independents or swing voters will be gone in two weeks (If there even is one, it's not like we had much to do with Moe the Q's end in any direct way), so who is the Prez gonna try to hit in September or October of next year to pop his poll numbers?  I also think the blind and largely-baseless optimism fostered by the Arab Spring about democracy and tolerance taking hold in the Islamic world around the Med will have had time to have proved itself illusory by then.
