Libyan Leader Gaddafi Threatens To Attack Europe
RIA Novosti ^ | July 9, 2011

Posted on 07/09/2011 8:38:09 AM PDT by Strategy

Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi on Friday threatened Europe with retaliation for a NATO-led military campaign, saying he will send hundreds of soldiers to launch attacks there.

"Hundreds of Libyans will martyr in Europe," Gaddafi told a multi-thousand-strong crowd in Sabha some 500 miles south of the capital Tripoli in a speech shown on national television, adding that NATO will regret "when the war moves to Europe."

This Libyan campaign doesn’t make sense. Gaddafi is an evil tyrant, but he was cooperating with the U.S. Syria is worse AND is the Arab partner with Iran against Israel and the West and we give them a pass.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see more Libyan terrorism now. What do they have to lose?

We have no business playing stupid games in Libya. At best its a European problem.

Gaddafi’s job was to keep Africans fron crossing the Gibraltar Strait into Europe. His weapon of choice will likely to let go into Europe.

“Holds as much weight as a democrat threatening to balance a budget”.
Right. This is a re-post of an old story. The botched oil grab is not going well. I must say , the “Rebels” do look more professional in their new war costumes.

The COMPLETE lack of media coverage by the Alphabets tells me all I need to know.

Imagine if BUSH had bombed a country, then told Congress to go to hell on the War Powers Act?

After reading the headline, I have to wonder how Lincoln would have responded to the British, French and Germans attacking Grant at Shiloh. Or Vicksburg. Or Sturgis at Brices’ Crossroads.
Just a thought.

**************************

Qaddafi’s cooperation with Bush’s anti-terrorism efforts is an important part of why people such as Graham, McCain, Rodham-Clinton and last but by no means least Obama are determined to kill Qaddafi - precisely because he -had- been turned. He will be an object lesson: if you cooperate with the United States, we may still try to kill you later just because we can and we have decided we like feral terrorists more than turncoat informers. What would be the point of such a superficially stupid policy? It would dry up any potential for us to turn other terrorists, thus making our options fewer, and our intelligence resources diminished. This adventure is self defeating - and is designed to be so.

This goes far beyond Qaddafi. The globalist, one world types are relishing the image of United States assets attacking and destroying our own successes, and cutting off the possibility of there being any more. The contrast between this adventure and the tacit condoning of Iran’s brutal suppression of dissidents is proof positive that “humanitarian concerns of the international community” are absolute fraud and pretext.

Defund it now. Impeach Obama for this now. Even his own Chicago base is angry with him over this. That would require an opposition party though, rather than the accomplice NWO Republicans.

Or what if the Royal Navy had cut off McClelland’s forces on the Peninsula in 1862 & effectively bagged the entire AoP?

Daffy should have kept his mouth shut and weathered the storm.

Heck, don’t threaten, just do...... or shut up.

Syria, I would think, is the greatest place to hem in. Does Syria have Iraq WOD buried in the desert?

These idiot Kadaffy-lovers who don't want to bomb socialist Libya don't want to bomb socialist Syria either, and they’re also the same people who never wanted to liberate socialist Iraq.
