Libya: US accuses Britain of legitimising Gaddafi

What’s one more insult to our regrettably “former” friends across the pond?

Make it stop!

I bet the infestors of the White House are wondering why they didn’t get an invite to the biggest international social event of the past 40 years. The Royal wedding of Prince William.

I am certain they don’t get it at all.

They aren’t smart enough to get it.

Mr. Susman, sensing that his distraction statement did not have it’s full desired effect, then pointed wildly under a couch and exclaimed “Look at the size of that cat !”

[bronxville]

Is that for real? God is good.

Well their foreign policy has been to cycle all our old enemies into friends and our former friends into frenemies. I guess frenemies aren't invited to the wedding.

[Judges Gone Wild]

Obama’s silence on Libya is embarrassing and unsurprising.

[bronxville]

I wonder what’s really going on with this story. I don’t get it.

[bruinbirdman]

"What’s one more insult . . . "

Someone didn't get an invitation to the wedding.

Obama is history in the NOT making. What a fool...

Much concern by those who do care...price of oil shooting up with all this unrest...and fear Saudi Arabia uprising could really damage things worldwide. Not to mention the Muslim leaders now planning to merge their countries into one power block. This stuff is going to change many things and not for the good in the long run or short.

[caww]

BTW Bengazi is now in the hands of the protesters and military...who joined them. Tripoli next.

[dixiechick2000]

“Someone didn’t get an invitation to the wedding.”

Oh, yeah...that completely slipped my mind.

“Thin-skinned”...why do those words keep popping up? ;o)

The Labor government of Gordon Brown made the deal with Libya to return the Lockerbee terrorist for oil, so the US does have a point.

[AwesomePossum]

Uh, Iran...........

Given the Obamas track record on gifts to Britain, Kate and William were afraid theirs would be ticking.

Exactly. Cameron needs to denounce it, but he can't because of the oil deal.

[JerseyHighlander]

Let’s make something very clear in this thread:
It was not Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and the front bench who forced the rapprochement with Gaddafi.

It was British, British-American, American, Italian, Dutch, French, Spanish, Canadian, Swiss, Norwegian, German and Austrian energy interests, and the military and state intelligence apparatus of European and North American countries, that required the energy supply from Libya to keep the lights on in Western Europe.

Thatcher, Major, Blair and Brown were but butlers running errands for these interests.

[TigersEye]

Nice timing on the accusation there, Louis. (face palm)

[TigersEye]

A pretty weak point since the WH told them behind the scenes that it was Okey Dokey and only denounced the idea after the deal was made. With blood in the streets on Libya this might not be the ideal time to point a hypocritical finger at Britain and say "I told you so" either.

Total Amateur Hour at the WH.

“I would suggest that to deal with him, to give him greater stature, greater ability on the world front
to look like he is a good citizen is a mistake.”
