I’m kind of wondering how you didn’t expect this.

aQ was going to get a new ally no matter what happened - from the moment France and the US started bombing them.

Well, I guess I was listening to the MSM claiming Kadaffi's about ready to leave the country and negotiating with Europe for a secure place to live out the rest of his life. I expected he'd either be killed, leave Libya or possibly win against the "rebels" then become a terrorist as he was before.

I didn't think he would trust those (Al Qaeda) who have tried to kill him so many times before.

What I did expect to happen was that either Kadaffi would win and claim victory OR he would lose and Libya would end up as another Somalia.

If the latter happened, we would have to decide to either go in and clean up the "new Somalia" or go home and let that be Obama's legacy.

I did know the end would not be a good one.
