Libyan FM: Gadhafi's Departure Not Up for Discussion
2011-07-21
[An Nahar] Libyan leader Moammar Qadaffy's
...Proof that a madman with money will be politely received...
 removal from power is not up for discussion, Foreign Minister Abdelati al-Obeidi said Wednesday following talks with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov.

"The question of Qadaffy's departure is not up for negotiation," Obeidi told news hounds after an hour of talks with Russia's chief diplomat at Moscow's foreign ministry headquarters.

"Right now we are discussing the initiative of the African Union,
...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful...
 which focuses on ending the war and bloodshed," he said.

Taking another dig at the United States and some other Western powers, the Libyan diplomat added: "We are not very happy that certain countries have recognized the National Transitional Council."

#4  Egypt may have hundreds of thousands of workers there, but they have no plan to get rid of Qadaffy, or evident ability, and as soon as there's stability again, Qadaffy's first move will be to fire every one of them to go squat in a ditch and BEG for a living in Egypt while he replaces them with contractors from Sinopec.

#3  In my opinion we should be working with the African Union. I believe I would look to the French on that move. We want stability as soon as possible. Obama should just go on vacation and get out of the way.So many pressing issues in the world this is a terrible waste of resources. It is what it is. They will go their own way anyway. Egypt had hundreds of thousands of workers in that country so they desperately need their people working. Idle hands will do the devils work.
