Victory in Libya!

A friend in Nigeria sent me a link to a live Aljazeera video of the rebel victory in Tripoli, Libya. Gaddafi's army has been defeated and sent running. Some shedding their uniforms as they fled. I was able to watch history in the making.


These freedom fighters have finally been able to defeat a cruel tyrant who not only tortured and killed his own people, but sent terrorists to blow up the airplane over Lockerbie, Scotland. As I write this (Sunday), Gaddafi has not been located, but his two sons have been arrested for their crimes.


I congratulate the common people who just wanted their freedom. Many gave their lives for their cause and their country. Many were raped and tortured by Gaddafi's army. The prisons were full of liberators who have now been liberated.


Now, I suppose Obama will try to get all the credit for this. He has been working on his re-election since January/2011. He sent our warplanes to Libya and put them under the banner of NATO, as mercenaries, so the media has a hard time knowing what they are doing. All without any input or vote from Congress-which of course is un -constitutional.


I am sure we will never know how much all the bombing cost we American taxpayers. I have read that it was 33 Million dollars a day, but we may never know. However, we need to give ouir military pilots credit for not losing a man.


I hope the liberated people of Libya put their new-found freedom to good use, and stop the violence now. Then they can establish a democracy, or republic. And, I hope they give the same freedom to minorities like Christians, Jews, and others.


If they do all this, they sure do have my respect and support. And, most of the world's.

Well, Bill, I hope that the rioters, whom you give the title of freedom fighters, don't turn out to be worse than Gaddafi. Al Quaida (sp?) would no doubt like to take over Libya for its oil wealth.

About a week or ten days ago I left a comment on your August 1 blog, but it never got printed.

I have a 20-page hardcopy printout for you of the voting records of the Sheridan and Johnson County's representatives and senators at last January-February's legislative session in Cheyenne. Trouble is, I don't know how to find you to hand it over. Is there some place on your blog which allows direct contact with you.
