Gadafi came to power in Africa's poorest nation (1969)...last year Libya was Africa's wealthiest- he invested in his country.
Women were liberated under his rule, and the rebels are throwbacks linked to Al Qaeda

so gadhafi created the oil under the sand?!? whoa, don't tell lil' kim, he's a lil' jealous when it comes to horse%^#$ and god like powers.

...plus we're patient, I don't think gadhafi is chunky enough, yet. Not even close enough for us to take all the pounds flesh needed for the jumbo jet.

we'll get it though, we're injunewadditive.

The Prez says this is not war, its just a "kinetic military action" despite the US having run over 800 sorties? This makes Bush's lawyers look smart....

It would be great if Gadhafi and his clan would jump on their camels and head out of town, camels get 45 mpg of water.
