As revolution spreads across the Arab world, General Muamar Gaddafi displays the most effective way to suppress a revolt if you are a dictator who wants to retain power in the region; open fire. Protests spread to Libya, and the response has been helicopter gunships and sniper fire. Where the Egyptian army refused to open fire on protesters, the Libyan military evidently is more loyal to the boss. I would be shocked if Gaddafi relinquishes power as Mubarak did. The only way that's possible is if the military refuses to execute orders, and thus far it appears the Libyan army is following orders.
I would love to see that tyrant removed from power. He is an evil man and the world would be a better place with him having no influence over any human being. Gaddafi has got to go. By the way, Barak Obama seems unusually conflicted about what's been going on lately.
Funny how Obama isn't calling for the people of Libya or Iran to decide their own path like he did with Egypt.
ReplyDeleteWhere are the human rights organizations condemning Gaddafi?? Silence from the lefties, they want him to stay, but a friend of America, Mubarak gets no support from Obama. These are dark days with America losing power to dictators. Can America survive another two years?
The great prophet Obama, peace be upon him, is making Jimmy Carter look like Winston Churchill in the middle east. Coming soon to a gas station near you: even more expensive fuel prices!
ReplyDeleteDid Obama promote Gaddafi to General? I thought he was still a Colonel.
ReplyDeleteTo call him a Colonel is not accurate because Colonels take orders from Generals. In my mind, he is General Gaddafi, more so than President Gaddafi.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to remember something about Gaddafi being put in charge of Human Rights in the UN. If not him, then it was some other dictator. Can anyone remember something like that?
ReplyDeleteIt was Gaddafi.
