#7 Gaddafi is just playing to his audience. He plays nice with the US, but realizes the Europeans can be threatened easily enough so he talks threatening. Nothing concrete so he can backtrack. Isn't France still threatening to hold the sanctions on Libya if Qaddafi doesn't fork over more money for that French plane the Libyans downed? |

#6 Quadaffi probably expected iran and syria to be overrun at this point. Our tolerance in Iraq ties down troops there is taken as weakness, and he is feeling a little too secure. |

#5 This isn't any surprise. The unwillingness to use decisive force to deal with Fallujah and al-Sadr is being seen as wobbling, and people like Quedaffy are noticing. |

#4 Mumu still has a natural inclination to extort the West. Didn't he have a daughter, at one time? |

#2 If you had said, "All that glitters is not gold" you would have been spot on. You won't go wrong if you assume that most Arabs are base metal. |
