Seriously? Just because I actually saw how WRONG you were, and called you on it, now I've got to 'shut it'?
You're losing it.
Talk about 'spineless', I would have had a bit more respect in you if you simply chimed in here and said 'yeah, my prediction/assessment was off", but once again you have to resort to name calling and attempted bullying. |
How was I "wrong"?  Gaddafi WAS winning the war around 3 weeks ago when I posted that and it was all over the news. |
You posted that on the 6th. On the 22nd, I called you out on it. By my count, that's just over two weeks difference.
Learn to count.
On the 27th of this month it will have been 3 weeks - quit trying to always twist things in your favor.
No need to lie to cover up a mistake.
You flubbed....it's obvious to everyone. |
Gawd you are lame... Seriously, if you have nothing of substance to contribute and nothing better to do than obsess over yours truly, then it's time for you to get a life. Your laughable attempts at one-upmanship fail completely (since were weren't even a part of the debate) and nobody is interested in hearing the non-points of a fence-sitting nobody. So just quit spamming the board with your petty crap already. |
Yet the fact remains - you were way off the mark... and when called on it, you lash out with name calling and bullying.
Sad

It seems that the mad dog is on the run. Still ranting about how he's winning... but as we see, that idiocy does not belong to him alone. |

Yes, it is a good, comprehensive summary of the various points.
#4 is especially good. The media that I was aware of has been woefully inadequate in reporting on the western front, the one that turned out to be the most significant. I remember being surprised there was even any fighting there.
#5 is an important political point. Many of the opponents got caught up in the idea the fighting was between two groups struggling for control, rather than a true mass public uprising against the government.
#8 says nothing about the secret CIA/bankers plot and about how everything that happens is planned in Washington. I guess Cole hasn't connected all the conspiracy dots yet.  |

This is my favorite reaction so far: (Eli Lake's Twitter)
Worth noting. President Birth Certificate has done what Reagan and W could not: end Gadhafi's reign and kill bin Laden. |

What's "sad" is how completely meaningless and devoid of insight every single one of your posts is (and your entire online persona for that matter). I doubt anybody has ever learned a single thing from anything you've ever posted in all your time on Dave's.
At any rate, the war still isn't over and Gaddafi is still vowing to fight. And you are going to be eating some serious crow if the wind starts blowing the other way. I doubt you considered that in your hastiness. |

Gotta love leftist jingoism: smug and underhanded like everything else they represent...
Bin Laden was a joke (since we already know 9/11 was an inside job and that Bin Ladens, the most elite family in SA after the royals, are very close friends with the Bush family, and that he most certainly died years ago).
But what puzzles me about the Gaddafi business is how these rag tag rebels just rode right on into Tripoli with ZERO resistance. What, did Gaddafi, his family, and his 20,000 soldiers just vanish into thin air? Hm... |

You might want to check out who Eli Lake is before you throw around 'leftist'. Just a thought. |

The looting of Qaddafi's compound in Tripoli highlights something very much worth noting. When Benghazi fell, Misrata fell, Tripoli fell, there was not general looting and chaos, like there was in Baghdad.
I think this speaks to the fact that this has been a genuine people's revolution. They don't seem to be at all interested in exploiting a situation for personal gain, but interested in improving their civic society.
**
This could change, but I doubt it: Qaddafi is now running through the back streets like the rat he called the rebels.
My guess is that he is going to try to instigate an insurrectionary movement. If he can escape to another country, he might be able to pull this off with the billions he likely squirreled away over the years. From inside the country, I don't think he can do it. The support shown in the demonstrations doesn't look like it was sincere. It was more likely a case of 'making a virtue of necessity'.
**
I'm impressed that the revolutionary council is going to move to Tripoli in two days. They are clearly trying to transform themselves into a national government. It is the right thing to do. |

Oh? Do enlighten me. I just wiki'd him, and it says he's a contributing editor to the New Republic (leftist) magazine (the same magazine that ran a picture of Obama-as-Christ on it's Jan. 30 2008 issue)... It also says he's an accomplished rapper  Beyond that, tell me why I should care what he says. |

Apparently Gaddafi abandoned his compound because it had already been bombed by NATO planes "64 times", and not because of the rebels approaching... Regardless, not sure that there was much left there to loot.

Nice theory. It could also be because they are afraid of Gaddafi's 20,000 soldiers who, far from being defeated, seem to have just vanished into thin air (even though his snipers are still positioned all over the city). Hm... |

U.S. Rep. Kucinich: NATO's Libya Generals Should Be Hauled To Court
August 23, 2011 For Immediate Release
[email protected] (202)225-5871
Libya and Beyond: How Did We Get There and What Happens Next?
WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 23, 2011) � Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), who has led the fight in the House challenging the Obama Administration�s actions in Libya, today released the following statement:
�Libyan rebels have entered Tripoli. As gun battles break out across the city, it is timely to enter into a discussion as to how the rebels arrived there. It is time to review the curious role of NATO and the future of U.S. interventionism.
A negotiated settlement in Libya was deliberately avoided for months while NATO, in violation of UN Security Council (UNSC) Resolutions 1970 and 1973, illegally pursued regime change. NATO chose sides, intervened in a civil war and morphed into the air force for the rebels, who could not have succeeded but for NATO�s attacks.
NATO acted with impunity. The NATO command recklessly bombed civilians in the name of saving civilians. Usurping the United Nation's traditional role, NATO looked the other way as the arms embargo was openly violated by U.N. member nations.
NATO's top commanders may have acted under color of international law but they are not exempt from international law. If members of the Gaddafi Regime are to be held accountable, NATO's top commanders must also be held accountable through the International Criminal Court for all civilian deaths resulting from bombing. Otherwise we will have witnessed the triumph of a new international gangsterism.
The reasons for the U.S./NATO intervention in Libya keep changing. First it was about the potential for a massacre in Benghazi. When the massacre did not materialize and once the war against Libya was underway, the reasons for intervention changed...
