Hows that Yugoslavian/Balkan Styles interventions being working out for ya interventionists? oh thats right Yugoslavia was a success right Bill Clinton fans? you are forgetting the post war mess and chaos NATO/ Bill still left behind in Yugoslavia.

Think of this as a blow back. Things currently in the Balkans dont look pretty to. Besides Bill Clinton was urging Obama to invade and attack Syria to.





What a clusterfuck that country is. Hooray NATO!






correction: what a clusterfuck it has turned into. When Gaddafi was in power, Libyan citizens were given so many perks by the government. Read below and see what Gaddafi did for his people:
There is no electricity bill in Libya; electricity is free for all its citizens.
There is no interest on loans, banks in Libya are state-owned and loans
given to all its citizens at zero percent interest by law.

Having a home considered a human right in Libya.
All newlyweds in Libya receive $60,000 dinar (U.S.$50,000) by the government to buy their first apartment so to help start up the family.
Education and medical treatments are free in Libya. Before Gaddafi only
25 percent of Libyans were literate. Today, the figure is 83 percent.

Should Libyans want to take up farming career, they would receive
farming land, a farming house, equipments, seeds and livestock to
kickstart their farms are all for free.

If Libyans cannot find
the education or medical facilities they need, the government funds them
to go abroad, for it is not only paid for, but they get a
U.S.$2,300/month for accommodation and car allowance.

If a Libyan buys a car, the government subsidizes 50 percent of the price.
The price of petrol in Libya is $0.14 per liter.
Libya has no external debt and its reserves amounting to $150 billion are now frozen globally.

If a Libyan is unable to get employment after graduation the state
would pay the average salary of the profession, as if he or she is
employed, until employment is found.

A portion of every Libyan oil sale is credited directly to the bank accounts of all Libyan citizens.
A mother who gives birth to a child receive U.S. $5,000.
40 loaves of bread in Libya costs $0.15.
25 percent of Libyans have a university degree.

Gaddafi carried out the world’s largest irrigation project, known as
the Great Manmade River project, to make water readily available
throughout the desert country.




........and then democracy kicked in.

Well read the rest on there. Its growing among some stupidity of comments.




Whats with the word persian? Persia has not been a empire for hundreds oh years.
it is as laughable when people call themselves Spartan or romans or vikings.
By the way no matter what you say Iranian are Arabs, or atleast they behave similarly.

On side note, why our SWC is walking behind Queen's PM, isn't he supposed to be 'leader of free world'?



Libya blasts U.S. kidnapping of bombing suspect

October 6, 2013
Problems for the United States in dealing with the partial U.S. government shutdown have now been compounded by heated tempers overseas dealing with a U.S. military venture in Libya (http://www.examiner.com/topic/libya). The Washington Post reported on Oct. 6, 2013, "Libya condemns U.S. raid and capture of bombing suspect." (http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/libya-condemns-us-raid-and-capture-of-bombing-suspect/2013/10/06/aad8b7ec-2ea6-11e3-8906-3daa2bcde110_story.html?hpid=z1)
On Sunday the Libyan government condemned what it has referred to as the kidnapping of one of its citizens who was taken into custody outside his home in Tripoli in a very unusual covert operation which was carried out by the U.S. military. U.S. officials have praised the capture of Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, who was wanted in the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya.
The U.S. officials see the success of this mission as an intelligence coup that will help undermine efforts by al-Qaeda to strengthen its presence in North Africa. The operation, which was carried out on Saturday, is said to be lawful under war powers which Congress granted the executive branch after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

Sky News has reported, "Al Qaeda: Libya Condemns Leader's 'Kidnapping'." Libya moved quickly to condemn the capture of an al Qaeda leader who was linked to the 1998 American Embassy bombings in east Africa and who was wanted by the FBI for more than a decade.

The Libyan government is asking for answers from the U.S. over the kidnapping of a Libyan citizen on its own territory and wants to know why it was not told about the raid by the American special forces. It appears there are tense times ahead for relations between the United States and Libya and that al-Ruqai needs a good lawyer.

At least it wasn't the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

Or of Israel or Kenya.

From the OP's link:

Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zeidan has been kidnapped from a hotel in Tripoli by an armed group and taken to an unknown location, the government has said.

A former Libyan rebel group said on Thursday it had "arrested" Zeidan after the government allowed the United States to capture a top al-Qaeda suspect, Abu Anas al-Liby, in Tripoli last weekend.

The Libyan Revolutionary Operations Chamber said on Facebook it had seized the prime minister "on the prosecutor's orders," adding that Zeidan "was arrested under the Libyan penal code... on the instructions of the public prosecutor".

The group said it was on high alert "in light of the deterioration in security and damage to the country's sovereignty by foreign intelligence bodies".

"His arrest comes after the statement by John Kerry about the capture of Abu Anas al-Liby, after he said the Libyan government was aware of the operation," a spokesman for the group said, referring to the US Secretary of State.

Zeidan is in "good health and will be treated well as a Libyan citizen," and is being held at the Interior Ministry's anti-crime department, an official with the department told the state news agency.
Kidnapped? Sounds like he was arrested.

Kidnapped? Sounds like he was arrested.

Don't want to give anyone any ideas about arresting corrupt politicians. Double speak works, "terrorists kidnapped", instead of "militia arrested".
