New Rulers declare Libya Liberated
- Thread starter Ocean Breeze
- Start date
Leave it to international bankers to describe devastation and mass murder as liberation. They call debt wealth so who's surprised.
Indeed. -tyranny is the very least .........and that immediately put them into "enemy " status worse than those terrorists they keep bringing up.....and ergo (IN THEIR MINDS) justifies (NOT!!) what has taken place.
BBC is reporting that at least 50 bodies of Gaddhafi supporters were found shot to death .
ah yes........the rule of the law prevails. Once again......certain nasty precidents have been set by the "west" itself and it is no surpise that they are following the example.
I guess they plan to slaughter every Gaddhafi supporter just like the US plans to kill every "terrorist" no matter who and how many others have to die.
The evolving dynamics are fascinating if very troublesome.
So the upshot seems to be that being "liberated" is also giving them the "license to kill" as a form of "justice.
LOL.. exactly. That could explain why he is so pro american in his views.....to the point of being rediculous. It is his survial mechanism.
but I digress/:smile:
Too bad he didn't spread some of that wealth around a bit more - he might have lasted a tad longer.
Not our problem. We went in to help the Libyans get rid of a nutcase and did so. It is now up to them to decide how their country will be governed and by who. As far as the 'barbarism' goes, Daffy set the bar himself and anything that happened to him once he was captured was payback - may not agree with what happened but sure can understand the fury and angst that drove it.
What do you know about it?
Libya had the highest GDP per capita in Africa and rising. Let's watch it fall hard now.
We know a lot of his people loved him enough to want him dead. That might tell an intelligent person something.

Economy of Libya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These oil revenues [B]and a small population have given Libya[/B] the highest nominal per capita GDP in Africa.[2] Since 2000, Libya has recorded favourable growth rates with an estimated 10.6% growth of GDP in 2010.
Nope. I bet no one in this thread has even been in Africa.
No one has any idea of what really was going on over there.
So the sheeple follow the media propaganda blindly
and the tin hats smell something fishy.
Well with many of the Billions that were stolen being recovered that should help, should it not.
That's an interesting view ,that you think rebel criminals that ruthlessly killed people who've now got power are going to find and return billions of dollars.. to the people ? :lol:
I wouldn't bet on that prediction. Things are going to get much worse in Libya than it ever was under any point under Gaddafi's rule.
In fact I would guarantee it.
Quote from an article
A delegation of medical professionals from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus wrote in an appeal to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin that after becoming acquainted with Libyan life, it was their view that in few nations did people live in such comfort:
[Libyans] are entitled to free treatment, and their hospitals provide the best in the world of medical equipment. Education in Libya is free, capable young people have the opportunity to study abroad at government expense. When marrying, young couples receive 60,000 Libyan dinars (about 50,000 US dollars) of financial assistance. Non-interest state loans, and as practice shows, undated. Due to government subsidies the price of cars is much lower than in Europe, and they are affordable for every family. Gasoline and bread cost a penny, no taxes for those who are engaged in agriculture. The Libyan people are quiet and peaceful, are not inclined to drink, and are very religious.
They maintained that the international community had been misinformed about the struggle against the regime. "Tell us," they said, "who would not like such a regime?"
Even if that is just propaganda, there is no denying at least one very popular achievement of the Libyan government: it brought water to the desert by building the largest and most expensive irrigation project in history, the US$33 billion GMMR (Great Man-Made River) project. Even more than oil, water is crucial to life in Libya.
The GMMR provides 70% of the population with water for drinking and irrigation, pumping it from Libya's vast underground Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System in the south to populated coastal areas 4,000 kilometers to the north. The Libyan government has done at least some things right.
