Why Gaddafi's Now a Good Guy By SCOTT MACLEOD/CAIRO Tuesday, May. 16, 2006 "When I called on Libyan Leader Muammar Gaddafi in his Bedouin tent last year, he was at pains to explain how he and President Bush were on the same wavelength. In all his years as a bad boy in the eyes of the West, he said, Libya was simply doing what Bush did when he invaded Iraq. "Bush is saying that America is fighting for the triumph of freedom," Gaddafi said between sips of tea. "When we were supporting liberation movements in the world, we were arguing that it was for the victory of freedom. We both agree. We were fighting for the cause of freedom." What idiot wrote this? He actually ACCEPTS Gaddafi's propaganda bullshit? Maybe you've forgotten THIS interview? "Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, in an exclusive interview with CNN, acknowledged Monday that the war in Iraq may have played a role in his decision to dismantle his country's weapons of mass destruction programs." articles.cnn.com The real question is, "What is different today?" The obvious answer is that the US has weak leadership. And everyone in the Middle East and N.A. knows it -- except the poor schmucks being gunned down in the street because they foolishly thought Obama would stand behind them.
