Apparently Libya’s next, with civil war already all but an established fact, soldiers defecting, other soldiers going at protesters with tanks, helicopter gunships etc., the country’s most numerous tribe siding with the protesters and Khadaffi’s son vowing to “fight to the last bullet.”
Splendid /sarc. We can’t wait for pResident Present to start waffling, flip-flopping, babbling, blathering and pontificating while the Make Believe Media form a wagon circle around His Supreme Incompetence and praise him with high praise for his supreme, brilliant leadership.
The only thing we know is that if the situation doesn’t go completely tits up we’ll once again be lectured that it was his Most Brilliant Evuh Sermon from the Cairo Mount that did it and, if it does go all to hell and back, it’s the fault of Bush, Glowbull Wormening and the Koch Brothers. Speaking of which, who are they? Did we miss a memo again? We thought that we were all bought and paid for by Big Oil/Halliburton/Darth Cheney et al.
Don’t tell us that we’ve been sending our invoices to (and have had them studiously ignored by) the wrong, sinister, Reich-wing conspiracy for all of these years, because then we’re like to get spectacularly splenetic!
Back to Libya, though: Once again we’re shown an object lesson in what would happen once the world found out, as they eventually had to, that the World’s Policeman had checked out of the station indefinitely and is now down at Dunkin’ Donuts, playing with himself and admiring his own Awesomeness™.
We’d say “sorry, world” if it weren’t for the fact that they were among the drooling imbeciles cheering for pResident Zero. You’re on your own now.
Have fun, y’hear?
Thatisall.
“Once again we’re shown an object lesson in what would happen once the world found out, as they eventually had to, that the World’s Policeman had checked out of the station indefinitely and is now down at Dunkin’ Donuts, playing with himself and admiring his own Awesomeness™.” This … this, is why I keep returning here!

Truthfully…if it wasn’t for the price of gas and Israel, I wouldn’t give a shit.
Is there an “E” in Dominos? Grammar Czar?
Caveman, If it wasn’t for the Islamic nutjobs haling from the middle east, and Turkey/Pakistan/Egypt , and possibly Iran (not of their own manufacture … yet) having nuclear arms, and in most cases the means to deliver same to other parts of the middle east (Israel) and Europe, I would be in complete agreement with you. The gas issue in… Read more »
I think Dominoes is like Potatoes. An “e” is added to the plural.
There is, unless you’re ordering pizza (make mine 4x beef, 3x ham, 3x jalapeños, mushrooms & black olives).

Yes, indeedy. Just as there is in heroes, tomatoes, tornadoes, Obamas (sorry, that should say zeroes). There aren’t too many times when the Emperor messes up his spelling. 😎
Awesome. Wish I’d come up with “pResident Present!”
LC Xystus says: Awesome. Wish I’d come up with “pResident Present!” Me too. Sadly, I can’t say that I did. Maybe I’m the first to put them after another, but I doubt it. “pResident”, of course, is older than sin. Actually, if I’m not mistaken, it was the Gore-ons who came up with that one after 2000. It just feels… Read more »
Library Czar says: Is there an “E” in Dominos? Grammar Czar? Actually, that came to my eyes as snark. As in dominoes lined up to fall. Subtle? Excessively nuanced? Perhaps.

Well, as much as I hate totalitarian sons of bitches the world over, but if that bastard Gaddafi falls, then that might be the start of a refugee wave the likes of which Europe has never seen before.

Actually Caveman, Libya EXPORTS a significant amount of Oil.
If W was still in office, we would have invaded by now. /s
Let the fucking 7th-century savages kill each other off for a while … population reduction in the Middle East will be a good thing for everyone.
I would worry about Israel, but I’ve read Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38-39.
I’ve got to say, my give a fuck factor’s pretty low as well. The odd thing is, that while the UN and EU are racing to blame the UK for selling arms to Libya, it was Mirages that were dropping bombs on the civvies. Who makes those, again?
Blasphemy even
Because that’s what the world is missing right now. The entire Middle East and Northern Africa as a giant Islamic theocracy.
Response to Lady H @: Thirded. Oh and this is slightly off topic but …. maybe Misha can weigh in on this?

Or what? You have NO problem with blasphemy if directed towards the religion of others. Perhaps you should consider that “Do Unto Others” thing before you expect the same kind of respect in return. Either that, or consider a variation of Newton’s Third Law of Motion. Many Christians have NOT done that (despite the murders of Christians in Muslim majority… Read more »
Pure assumptions based on the ravings of a Beck. Pure facts based on reality. And so what? Their land, their nation. How in the hell do YOU have any right in determining what they say, do, or believe in? Just this piffling little thing called “survival instinct.

As I mentioned elsewhere, it looks like we might side with Qaddafi, at least on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The White House is weighing an “appropriate” response to the violence directed at pro-democracy demonstrations in Libya, according to a senior administration official quoted by wire services. “We are analyzing the speech of Saif al-Islam Kadhafi to see what possibilities it… Read more »

Jugears has no clue what is going on nor what do to about it
in re: Blasphemy Late to the thread, but I note that it is the preference of His Majesty that the name of the Deity not be fully spelled out, and the middle letter be replaced with a “-” to avoid blasphemy. His house, his rules. Amongst other things, I think I am the house “Heathen Dragon Worshiper”. Not Judeo-Christian by… Read more »

I don’t think they’ll ever try socialism again.
Since the matter of blasphemy has come up and I’m the admin-in-charge, I feel it incumbent upon myself to express my personal view of the whole thing. I’ve done so in bits and pieces over the years, but new people come by all the time (thankfully, and welcome!), so every once in a while it’s a good thing to catch… Read more »
L’Agent Provocateur, rearing his head on cue: Our problem over the past 100 years in that region is that we have played too heavy-handed of a role — and those people haven’t forgotten. We’ve supported some pretty despicable dictators over the years for the sole purpose of having control over the oil. As W. hinted at above, the US hasn’t… Read more »
Actually, the main reason for the region’s dictators seems to be “the curse of resources.” Geologists had noticed that all the lucrative concentrations of “stuff” around the world, outside of Europe, North America, or Australia, happen to be in countries run by despotic thugs and dictatorships. But obviously the minerals were there long before the dictators, so what was going… Read more »
Four Americand murdered by pirates…….Obama does NOTHING
Well, first the administration has to ascertain whether the killers were members in good standing of the Praiseworthy International of Maritime Pirates (PIMP), and then whether murder on the high seas was stipulated in their latest contract agreement.

Response to Gladiator @:
Because they were white Catholic Christians handing out Bibles, maybe?
I don’t even have to read leftists’ blogs to know that they think the 4 people “asked for it”. After all, in their warped minds, the victims are usually the bad guys.
