    Now that Ghadafi is gone, and the country moves towards democracy, should we support it?
    LOL...

    You believe that PR stunt?

    I don't.

    But....

    I do hope I'm wrong!
    Since there is a new government, and essentially now the roles are switched, do we support a new government in surpressing the rebels following Ghadafi?

    Do tell.
    I tend to believe they will act worse than Gaddafi did.

    We can now only wait and see.

    "rights to defend itself against enemies, foreign and domestic"

    Didn't know Lybia was using the United States Oath of Allegiance as the law of their land, tbh...

    Do they recite the whole thing?
    "I will support and defend the Cons ution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic"

    I'm touched.

    You use my words, assuming I quoted them?

    You know, I used those words purposely because of how so many other advocate sovereign nation rights.

    gaddafi was bad but not nearly as bad as al qaeda running the country now
    Link?


    Or is that what Fox "news" told you to believe about the situation?

    or maybe you actually believed Ghadaffi's propaganda?

    Do tell. Still waiting.

    No, I assume you just don't know what you're talking about. Looks like I was right.

    You claimed the US violated those rights. I asked you to show where are those rights granted and under what charter, and you never responded.

    So now you tell me it was just wishful thinking? Okay.

    No...

    Just wait a few years to see if I'm right.
    We don't have to wait that long, tbh. You'll never admit to being wrong and will nitpick at anything to contest you ever were. Too predictable, IMO.

    I can quote myself admitting I was wrong.

    In this forum.

    Let me see you quoting yourself admitting you were talking out of your ass.

    Every once in a great while WC will own up to making a mistake. Not as often as they happen, but I do remember a few here and there.

    To be fair:
    More often he will dig in his heels, double down, and quibble over details, especially if it has to do with the ideas he is emotionally attached to.

    It seems like Europe and UCA, not Al Quaeda, have or will have Libya as their oil-producing colony:

    And Wikileaks shows CIA goons working with Kadafi's security goons.

    Exactly How Tight Were Libya and the CIA? New Do ents Reveal Secret "War on Terror" Relationship

    The papers suggest the CIA abducted several suspected militants from 2002 to 2004 and handed them to Tripoli.

    The UK's MI6 also apparently gave the Gaddafi regime details of dissidents.[...]

    Thousands of pieces of correspondence from US and UK officials were uncovered by reporters and activists in an office apparently used by Moussa Koussa, who served for years as Col Gaddafi's spy chief before becoming foreign minister.

    Rights groups have long accused him of involvement in atrocities, and had called on the UK to arrest him at the time.

    The BBC's Kevin Connolly in Tripoli says the do ents illuminate a short period when the Libyan intelligence agency was a trusted and valued ally of both MI6 and the CIA, with the tone of exchanges between agents breezy and bordering on the chummy.

    Human Rights Watch accused the CIA of condoning torture.

    Libya is in danger of falling into the hands of Islamic extremists if a stable government is not rapidly established, Nato’s secretary-general warned last night.

    In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Islamic extremists would “try to exploit” any weaknesses created as the country tried to rebuild after four decades of Col Muammar Gaddafi’s rule.

    Mr Rasmussen was speaking amid growing evidence of splits in the rebel leadership in Tripoli. His words will cast a damper over the euphoria sweeping Tripoli in the wake of the revolution.

    His warning came as the head of the National Transitional Council, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, told cheering crowds in Tripoli that Islamic shariah law would be the “main source” of legislation in the new Libya.

    If the majority of Libyans want(vote) for sharia, so be it.

    It's Their Country, and nobody else's business.

    It's no different than if a majority of Americans wanted to vote in dominionist assholes, annul the Cons ution, and install the Bible and 10 Commandments as law of the land.

    It's their roll, they can piss on it or eat it. I posted the article to dampen the premature huzzahs over the glories of military intervention and voting.

    Isn't sharia law the main source of legislation in every Muslim country?

    I could care less whether the new regime is sharia based or not. I posted it more to counter the geniuses in this forum who were suggesting the conflict was over and the the humanitarian problems, solved. They are not, nor is the civil war over.

    You're the one claiming they are based mainly on something else, not me.

    Are you making a claim, or just guessing?

    I asked a very simple question. You couldn't answer it.

    Happens all the time here.

    No need to get snippy.
