So at what point did you swing back the other way on Qadaffi? When he was basically running world terrorism in the 80s I'm sure you believed he should be overthrown/killed. Now you think he should stick around because "we know where we stand with him". Pretty non-sensical. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem to live in a state of constant fear that extremists are going to overrun the Middle East. To you, it seems the only options are terrible, autocratic leaders or Muslim extremists and you choose the lesser of the two evils.

Love that Qadhaffi is blaming Al Qaeda for inciting the youth of Libya. Saying they've been taking pills. :lol:

I guess I can see where you guys are coming from. Perhaps this is why I'm not the president. Or even an advisor.

A lot more than what he ever said about Egypt. I understand the politics behind these moves, but it just seems so contradictory.

I thought it was a pretty poor move for Obama to speak out today against Libya.

I'm by no means advocating that we should never use a drop of oil, but the majority of us (myself included) in city centers like Lexington, Louisville and Cincy would probably be best served by taking the bus more.

So a bus/bike is out of the question for you?

*fingers in ears* LALALALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU :idunno:

I thought it was a "Drill Here, Drill Now" crowd that was up in arms against Bush.

Dave Ramsey also swears against permanent life insurance policies, but it is my understanding he owns one himself.

The real sin here is that there are no girls in the equation.

Interesting take. Not something I had ever considered before.

If you're her employer, don't you OVERstate the gravity of the situation? Why understate it?

US foreign policy.

If you watch her mouth it looks like it begins to droop a little. Sure sign of a stroke.

So says a Minnesota columnist... Uh, Kentucky, y'all were right about Tubby

Not to mention the pop culture center of the Arab world. All television shows, music and movies are done in the Egyptian dialect of Arabic.

Of course they're not ready for an election tomorrow. Heck, we wouldn't be either. I think they will be ready in September when the time comes. It's just a stretch to say they aren't ready for a democracy at all because they couldn't have an election tomorrow. A democracy isn't a foreign concept to these people. That's why they've been in the streets fighting for the past 3 weeks. They want a true democracy. They've been voting for years, but the elections have been rigged. They may not have "viable" parties, but they have viable candidates. Don't pigeonhole them by thinking their version of democracy has to be a spitting image of ours. Things won't work exactly the same. The Egyptian people much more "ready" than you make it seem they are.

Not ready for a democracy? How so?

The sky is falling!

Egypt is free. What happens next is the big question...

I definitely want to go to a World Cup. I'm tenatively planning on going in 2014 to Brazil.

Quit playing early tonight because I went 20 kills and no deaths in Firing Range. Not going to get better than that.

Mountain Ref, do you believe Obama is a Muslim? Just curious.

You're making quite the splash.
