In a STUNNING Turn of Events, Muammar Qaddafi
…stripped off his white desert robes to wave them frantically off the battlements of Tripoli when word came that bombs might soon be falling on HIS head, vice the rebels attempting to unseat his murderous regime.
“Fuck, fuck, FUCK!!! No more killing, no KKKILLLLING!!!
Cease Fire!! CEASE FFFFFIIIIRRRRRRREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“
Well, close enough.
Libya Declares Immediate Halt to Military Action Against Anti-Government Forces
“Okay, see? I stopped. Tell them I stopped. I’M IN MY FUCKING UNDERWEARS AND I STOPPED!!!”
“Wait.”
“What do you mean…the ‘French‘?”
Actually, this may be a very smart move on his part. Given the West’s proven lack of staying power he probably figures that if he genuflects for a few weeks the UN will declare success and leave, while his security forces quietly decimate the opposition beneath his still-intact radar and air force.
Saddam played that game successfully for how long?
About 10 years and then he a) got greedy and b) ran into a US President with balls.
Not a concern for Moamarmarmarmarmar.
Let’s see if they blast, by mistake, some of the rebels on the ground seeing how they are using some commandeered tanks etc. It is not as easy as the politicians think to tell who the good guys are vs bad guys from 20K ft up and in this case its dubious.
I’m still trying to wrap my brain around the FRENCH taking the lead here. It’s not terribly odd that they ditched the “surrender monkey” mantle… but they passed it to the President of the United States. That is un-frakin-believable.
As Ernie Anastas almost said, “Keep on golfin’, you chicken.”
DAMN.
Why in the hell should we help Iran/muslim brotherhood take over Libya?
