The strongest tribe wins.
In Libya, like most of Africa it's a tribe vs tribe maze for the most part. Strongmen will always be in control.

You may be wondering why President Obama has been mum on the subject of Libya until tonight, even though for the last week Dictator Maummar Gaddafi has been massacring people on his streets. One possible reason is that the White House does not know how to spell "Libya." Another: President Obama's spiritual leader, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, has been tied to Gaddafi.
This is not to necessarily imply that President Obama didn't criticize Gaddafi because he favors Gaddafi's regime, but that the President had trepidation because he was aware of his pastor's ties to the iron-fisted ruler.
It all goes back to 1984, when Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and Rev. Wright decided to take a trip to Libya and see Gaddafi in Tripoli, the capital of Libya. Was it to condemn Gaddafi at the height of his reign? Was to to ask Gaddafi to work with the United States, as the two countries were in an extremely icy relationship? No.
It was a social visit.
And even worse, at the time and since, the good reverend knew that this could have political consequences, especially during the Presidential campaign in 2008. To quote Wright in 2008:
"When [Obama's] enemies find out that in 1984 I went to Tripoli to visit [Gaddafi] with Farrakhan, a lot of his Jewish support will dry up quicker than a snowball in hell."
The ties between Farrakhan and Gaddafi are numerous, but surely President Obama has known about his reverend's indiscretion for years now. Is this why he has kept quiet until today? Maybe.
Interesting
Ping.

Yes of course there are ties between the Obamas and Rev. Wright. I wonder if anyone has explored the ties between the Obamas and the Farrakhans. They lived in the same neighorhood in Chicago and there is a well known photograph of Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Farrkhan together with several other important South Side black women.
I suspect that both Gaddafi and “Reverand” Wright are allied with that Irish Caliphate that Glenn Beck exposed recently. Soros is the one.
I wonder if some of 0bama’s over sea’s campaign donors happen to live in Libya
Just when you think the sissy-boy couldn’t get any more putrid.....
pingeroo...lotta potential me thinks...8)
Qadaffi has ties to Wright.
Wright has ties to Obama.
Obama has ties to his cousin Odinga.
Odinga has ties to non-Kikyuyu black African mercinaries.
non - Kikyuyu black African mercenaries have ties to Qadaffi and are up there in Libya today MURDERING unarmed civilians in the streets.
Nice, neat little crowd eh?
And I bet everybody thought the Anti-Christ was going to be a big dog somewhere in Europe!
Love this connect the dots sh*t...Obama and Ghaddafi and Wright and Farrakhan, oh my!

Who needs to watch horror movies?
“”Is this why he has kept quiet until today? Maybe.””
The man may just as well stay quiet forever for all the good it does him. We don’t understand a word he says so who expects foreigners to understand him?
