5. Were they wrong?

Was Libya an ally of US law enforcement efforts, or was it not?

Maybe we should organize around ideas and causes instead of people.

3. all LIES, propaganda, obfuscations told to a sleeping public...

...are beginning to pay dividends to a people that have been asleep at the wheel for decades; the information age is changing the landscape at an accelerated pace

7. "White man speaks with FORKED TONGUE." Western powers will do whatever

serves their interests. Right now the French and British are competing for the best of future deals in a post-Gaddafi Libya. They are desperate to get rid of him at this point, having supported the rebels as soon as they thought the were winning.

8. Libyan officer training at US Command, Staff, and War colleges as some of the best programs

“Senator McCain assured Muatassim that the United States wanted to provide Libya with the equipment it needs for its TRIPOLI 00000677 002.2 OF 002 security. He stated that he understood Libya’s requests regarding the rehabilitation of its eight C130s (ref D) and pledged to see what he could do to move things forward in Congress. He encouraged Muatassim to keep in mind the long-term perspective of bilateral security engagement and to remember that small obstacles will emerge from time to time that can be overcome. He described the bilateral military relationship as strong and pointed to Libyan officer training at US Command, Staff, and War colleges as some of the best programs for Libyan military participation.”
