I think Kaddafi will bug-out to another country when the bombs get too close
In those outfits he always wears? that stands out..won't get far..and he would make a real ugly woman.
Remember when Kaddafi said: "We are content and happy if Obama can stay forever as the president of the United States."..[pander-pander]?
Before that, the Bush Adminstration and Condi Rice said the "scared straight" autocrat whom Ronald Reagan once said was a "mad dog" became, in the words of Rice, "an important model as nations around the world press for changes in behavior by the Iranian and North Korean regimes."
Now Obama is calling Rio a model for the Middle East. Rio is a safer choice for a model, I think.
IIRC, Rio is a basket case of slums & high crime, making it a model for chaos.
The Rice statement you quoted is just pathetic. Kaddafi has been brutalizing Libyans since he seized power.
Reagan should have eradicated this scum after the disco bombing.
I think the motivation for our involvement in this war is to boost Obama’s ratings & to distract the public from much bigger problems - jobs, inflation, deficit.
If Obama is so concerned about saving lives, what about Iran, NK, Zimbabwe, & probably a dozen other despot ruled countries?
Hate to say it, but Obama has been clever. Obama didn't start the fight, the UK, France, & Italy did, with UN approval. Kaddafi is so weak & erratic, Obama can't lose, or even have significant body bags. EVERYBODY hates Kaddafi* & they all know he authorized Lockerbie. Many on the Right & moderate Left will be easily impressed.
This is doing Obama a whole lot of good.
* Kaddafi looks like someone I wouldn't want to touch, for fear I might catch what he's got. One of the nastiest public figures I have seen. If anybody needs a bath, a new hairdo & clothes, plus massive plastic surgery, it is Kaddafi. Maybe he has held off on the makeover until the day he really needs it - like today.
