Love the footage of him and his buddy Joe sightseeing ...

Some insight on Gaddafi's accomplishments:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Manmade_River

The Great Man-Made River (GMR, النهر الصناعي العظيم) is a network of pipes that supplies water to the Sahara Desert in Libya, from the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer Systemfossil aquifer. It is the world's largest irrigation project.[1]
According to its website, it is the largest underground network of pipes and aqueducts in the world. It consists of more than 1,300 wells, most more than 500 m deep, and supplies 6,500,000 m³ of fresh water per day to the cities of Tripoli, Benghazi, Sirt and elsewhere. Muammar al-Gaddafi has described it as the "Eighth Wonder of the World."[2]


The guy is irrigating the Sahara Desert, for Chrissake ... !!! ...without any IMF credits !!!

I think we should go and turn the place back into a pulverized dust bowl.
Then contract everything out to Halliburton & Co. to build a nice pompous Embassy there. Financed with US taxpayer dough.
