To the shores of Tripoli

Let's see.
We task Predators to flyover Libya.
"Nato" bombs Ghadafi's family compound.
Is this an attempt to assassinate the Colonel?

Whatcha think about that , Mr Church?

This Libya "incursion" (it sure ain't a no fly zone enforcement or humanitarian mission any more) has bad news written all over it for the US.

But, hey, we support the Troops, errr, the Rebels. Just ask "Ambassador" McCain:

"The American people support you very strongly, and we know it's necessary to help as much as we can," McCain told a woman who thanked him for U.S. support.

I am not a fan of this type of intervention. I can tell you that Qaddafi has done more damage than you will probably ever read about, to about 5 million people.
But then, the same is true with the boys in Enron.

Some would say they deserve the same fate.

Or as the French say:
"Qu'on fasse venir les coupe-tête! " Bring on the head choppers!

Why, to let the rebels take charge. of course....

Ooops - hrm, may need to re-think this one.

This name ring a bell? Abu Sufian Ibrahim Ahmed Hamuda Bin Qumu.

Former guest of ours down in Guantanamo.

Seems he trained at two al-Qaida camps, fought in Afghanistan against the Soviets and the Northern Alliance, and moved to Sudan with other al-Qaida members.

We decided to hand him over to Ghadafi as a "good faith gesture" a few years ago. Now he's training rebels in - yep, Libya.

Kinda sticky when you get your feet stuck in both sides of the equation, ain't it?

I don't know. But the longer the Col. sticks around the worse we (& NATO) look.
