no argument that khaddafi was a nut case, but he had become a good asset for US policy in middle east. he was especially valuable because he fought al qaeda, that supposedly was the enemy of America too. imagine that.
My thoughts were as yours knowing he helped us...basically our nut case, only wanted to note I wasn’t defending him. He was one of those ‘necessary evils’ we kept around to keep out a worse one....which is what we have now.
