Moammar Gaddafi says he will leave America in the ash heap of history. Gaddafi borrowed that quote from President Ronald Reagan's reference to the former Soviet Union.
Gaddafi has now suffered twice from American airstrikes, once from Reagan when America retaliated for Gaddafi's involvement in the terrorist attack that blew up a Pan Am flight over Lockerbie, Scotland. The second strike against Gaddafi came last weekend when President Obama fired over 112 Tomahawk Cruise missiles, B2 stealth bombers and F-15 airstrikes. Obama used American military power as part of a multi-national strike to reduce Gaddafi's use of air power against anti-government protests.
Moammar Gaddafi gave up Libya's nuclear weapons program when President George W Bush attacked Iraq. But it wouldn't take too long for Libya to work with Iran or rebuild its nuclear program. Libya may also have Mustard gas. Libya has supported terrorism in the past.
Does this worry you? Should Americans worry that Libya now has justification to retaliate against America or its allies? Have we stirred the hornet's nest too much?

+5he will if given the chance...time to take him out.....enough is enough from this madman
"gas" is not a WMD
I've said it before
R = bad Bomb
D = good Bombs
Coke! get your Coca cola here!
He's a big BULLY!!
gaddafi knows that the brits and ameicans have cruise missles that can hit his tent so he will probably test his will against the french or italians first
But with today's news of WHO really is trying to oust Quaddifi AlQuida and the Muslim Bro Hood...Obama could be guilty of AIDING the enemy..terrorists if any of these take over power in Libya.
This is part of why the world needs to eliminate Gaddafi--he's dangerous and ruthless.
But it also means that once the steps have been started, we have to finish the game. We don't absolutely have to have LIbya become a democracy, but Gaddafi now absolutely must be killed or captured.
That I know of anyway. I could be wrong.
If it is true that the protestors are terrorists insurgents such as is in Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan....he is figting against them, so doubtfully they would jump on his bandwagon.
Now if he want to use Farakkhan, J Wright through the Nation of Islam members obama wouldn't like that.
I'm sick of our troops going to war under the pretense of saving the poor presecuted muslims. There are 1.5 billion muslims, let them fight their own wars. They managed to take over the ME, Northern/Central Africa, Some eastern European Countries in the 7th century AD and the Ottoman Empire without any body's else help.
No matter how much you help them, they are the most ungrateful bunch that ever existed and we are just giving aid and comfort to those that will someday turn around and murder us. Take it to the bank.
the Bush administration was able to get him to give up his WMD.........for the most part.
No one knows for sure if he has mustard gas, but we know he doesn't have nuclear
capability. Not unless he bought it recently from Iran or Pakistan.............
weapons. That is the advantage of walking softly and carrying a BIG stick, and being
feared by your enemies.... as they were of Reagan.
