2. This is an UNDERSTATEMENT. Antagonism to Gaddafi's "open borders" policy and funding development
in poor African countries have been part of the long-running
feud with with anti-Gaddafifactions for years.

3. Oh, and the fact that Gaddafi paid black mercenaries
from sub-Saharan Africa to kill Libyans is irrelevant, huh? I don't think the Libyans are truly racist or xenophobic. They just can't tell instantly who is an enemy and who isn't, so skin color becomes the litmus test in the absence of other factors.

7. This is disgusting RACIST crap with which we have been maniputlated.
For the last 30 years the brigades have had a significant number of Tauregs (nomadic desert tribes that live
across boundaries in the Sahara.

Libyan range on color from near-white to black from the Euro-coast to the deep desert tribes.

Gaddafi himself is from a Bedouin tribe and vehemently rejected the Euro-centric attitudes of
much of the Libyan elites who wanted to keep-out the "blacks."

10. Um, Gaddafi hired tens of thousands of black mercenaries because his own people wouldn't fight...
...for him and shoot upon their own people. Common fucking sense that revolutionaries are going to make mistakes and go after innocent blacks. Reports are that in cases where it's mistaken identity they treat the black African's well.

But Gaddafi fomented it.

4. The truth is we have NO idea who the 'rebels' are
What is the end game? The mission? How many moves ahead on the chess board have been imagined?

12. Actually we do. They are people who will allow more favorable exploitation of Oil and Gas

Libya's massive GAS reserves could power much of Europe and provide an alternative to dependence
on Russia.

For decade plans do this on a large scale have been thwarted by the Gaddafi regime's refusal to do the right deal.

6. Is there an international conspiracy of Libyan rebels, Libyan freemasons, and Libyan bankers?
If some rebels do wrong, then they're all evil, right?

15. NELSON MANDELA disagrees with you.



''Those who say I should not be here are without morals. I am not going to join them in their lack of morality.''

Mr. Mandela said that he had spent 27 years in jail rather than abandon his principles and that he felt the same way about his debt to Colonel Qaddafi for his support in the struggle against apartheid. ''This man helped us at a time when we were all alone,'' Mr. Mandela said.



But what does he know.
