Gee, sending over fighter jets to Libya and shoot down any planes sounds like a great idea! Lets get involved in something completely arbitrary while we still have forces stretched out from another war. Is this guy for real??

Hey, it's McCain. He's bloody dam well for real. He says it with a smile! Besides, it's US policy to remove Gaddafi from his post.

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.

I think you need a history lesson from some of your country men as to what happened ~ 40 years ago.
Maybe you are too young to know.
There are plenty of 60+ year old ex Exxon Libya expats that could teach you a thing or 2 !! Halliburton & Dowell staff as well.

You teach right away, we're starving for your smartcookies. The thread is all yours.

I still remember your 'competent' response to my chemistry question. If your history lesson goes the same way, we're in for a treat.

Waste of time, although sending in the CIA to off him probably wouldn't be a bad idea. He needs to die so the country settles down and oil prices stop raising. The *&*)(&* speculators are killing us.

I dont remember that exactly!! I think you were trying to mix some cleaning mix.

I am sure you are quite capable of doing your own research on when their leader came to power, but then he doesnt even believe the holocaust happened! He did make a token payment to the American families that lost loved ones over Lockerbie, his oil industry has plenty of Exxon technology from before his time. You can add that to your search. What short memories we have !!!

I am still waiting on that edication. Anybody up for it?

[Honus]

The GOP wanted that man to be Commander in Chief, with Sarah Palin as VP. Just sayin'...

[MS Fowler]

Do we have an exit strategy?

Its always easier to campaign for office than actually BE the President as our current President has learned. President Obama has not gotten us out of the ME, nor closed Gitmo as he campaigned to do. Reality is a harsh thing. A McCain/ Palin administration would be more constrained by reality than some of you fear.

I'm old enough to remember the Goldwater/ Johnson election. Johnson ran on a platform that played on the FEAR of what Goldwater might do--getting us deeper into Viet Nam and other things, culminating in nuclear war. With the exception of a nuclear war, Johnson went on to do almost everything he said Goldwater would do.

Reality is different from campaigning.
