How Gaddafi Lost the Rebellion... but is Winning the War

"War looks over but for the mass executions 
and the climb-down by EU leadership..."


As has become typical, Barack Obama's endorsement was the kiss of death... this time for Libyan rebels most thought would  be overrunning Gaddafi's compound in Tripoli by now. 

Seems serial ineptitude emanating from both US and EU 'leadership' quickly extinguished any hope the opposition initially held of conquering this vile regime: with zero effective aid to the rebels from Obama and the lilly-livered Europeans, what was "Gaddafi must step-down" supposed to mean without consequences to back it up...? That same Gaddafi then predictably told them to shove it.

Now the clueless US administration -via John Kerry- is still standing around making hawkish noises about a NFZ that will never happen while gas prices go ballistic and Gaddafi moves to roll-up what's left of the insurgency... that's right, 
Gaddafi is winning.

US Taxpayer-Funded Foreign Aid Received by 150/192 Countries in the World!

 That's us dishing-out an allowance to 
over 78% of the nations in existence...


Thanks US taxpayers- but most of them still hate you anyway.

And if you feel like a chump- you should: we'll be paying for this dubious investement (+interest) ad infinitum: America doesn't have any money to be giving-away in the first place, all discretionary federal spending is in-effect borrowed these days...

ANYbody but Obama... Please!

Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit):
"I would vote for a syphilitic camel over Barack Obama in 2012, so therefore I would even vote for Huckabee or Gingrich.

But I might try to talk the camel into running one more time..."

Ouch- doesn't say much for those two, does it. But at the same time I was just yesterday thinking along those very same lines... anybody but Obama:

TGIF Rock-n-Roll Oldies: Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen - 1971

"That story is true, and I'm here to say:
I was drivin' that Model A..."

Farrakhan: 'Jews' are Pushing U.S. into War

That ole Charmer really knows how to pour it on, don't he


Blustering, self-important Islamonazi Louis Farrakhan at it again, hating on the Jews while attempting to shield his buddy Moammar Gaddafi...

Stand-up Comedy Greats: Bob Newhart 1969

"This stammer got me a home in Beverly Hills...
I'm not about to screw with it now!"


Bob Newhart (Oak Park, Illinois 9.25.1929) is an American comedian, author, and TV/film actor known for a deadpan style and trademark stammering and hesitant delivery. His hugely successful career spans over four decades, and the man is nothing less than an American comedy legend...

LIBYA: Pro-Gaddafi Forces Go on the Offensive, Retaking Strategic Towns and Oil Facilities near Tripoli... then Turn East


Forces loyal to embattled Libyan dictator Moammar Gaddafi scored some strategic gains early today by chasing rebels from at least two towns, apparently in an effort to establish a strategic buffer-zone around the Gaddafi stronghold of Tripoli. They also retook a key coastal oil installation and bombed at least one town in the rebel-held east.

But with Gaddafi going onto the offensive, the escalating level of violence is looking more like a real civil war by the day... this one could get real, real ugly-
