It is going to be a temporary bump.. Like when he had OBL killed. I'm glad Gadaffi is gone, but the main issue is going to be the economy..

What I fear is that there will be more "UN" approved operations without the approval of Congress.

So Obama has managed to encourage Egypt to fall to the Muslim Brother hood....Libya to fall to unknown “rebels” and now he’s encouraging Syria to fall. Barry sure has done a great job helping his Muslim Friends! Next up Poh-ke-stan??

So Al Qaeda now owns Libya.

Well, here’s hoping that the various faction now wipe each other out fighting over the spoils.

Oh good Lord; I hadn’t factored in the U.N.; pray for the innocent over there; rape factories will be up and running soon.

With trillions of dollars borrowed from Americas unborn tax payers.

My fellow Americans, I’m pleased to announce that after 6 months of bombing at our expense, we’ve helped make Libya into another Somalia...

At least Qaddafi surrendered the yellow cake.

This is all about Qaddafi’s billions in $$ and its oil.

And, Khalifa.

And the Alawite, Ba’athists may well turn out to ACTUALLY HAVE all those WMDs their fellow Ba’athist, Saddam had after all. The Turks are already attacking the Kurds in N.Iraq (like always, really).

Replacing a demon with the devil. Watch and see.

Agreed. As much as it pains me to say this, between the two sides, Kadaffy is the better one. He did keep his Wahabist Islamist in check/ Also, despite my opposition to socialism and planned economies, at least he managed to raise the standard of living for many Libyans by building them houses with electricity, running water and A/C. If this was 1986, yeah, I'd say, "go get him," but with the exception of a few peeps, he was behaving and as long as he did, we should have left him alone. I learned long ago, not to toss rocks at hornet's nests and that is what NATO and Obama is doing.

Someone made the point that Kadaffy could have a nuke planted in Tripoli to defeat the rebels when they get inside the city. I don't know, but if I was Kadaffy, I'd either have a nuke, dirty nuke or some chemical gas trap ready to go while I'd cover my escape and resort to assymetrical warfare. Don't forget, Kadaffy used assymetrical warfare in the 1960's, he will do so again.

RT @jricole: AJA: Interview with #Gaddafi goes bad when gunshots ring out inside his house & line is cut. Maybe unwise to go on tv #Libya

YUP.

Rejoicing will be short-lived, followed by sorrow. The rise of the Caliphate is upon us.

America’s reaction: Big deal, why were we fighting a war in Libya? How does this help me pay my bills? How did we pay for this war?

I sure hope they turn over bomber al-Magrahi to the US. It will be the only good thing to come out of our involvement in this conflict.

Can we leave the area now and bring our troops home?

Nah, they'll be needed in Syria next.

After that, somewhere else where the President isn't quite Muslim enough.

I hope they kill him. I don't want to see a Holder terrorist show trial.

I would think bomber al Magrahi is on that same plane as Gaddafi on route to Venezuela.
