#1 yesterday I commented that Gadaffy had a medal that looked to me like an iron cross

Today's photo shows a blank spot where the medal was?(On the green sash high on the right )

Curiouser and curiouser?

Yes, Redneck Jim. If you look closely, you can see where the stitches were picked out.

#5 I've commented several times that Kadaffy seems to "borrow" medals and ribbons. At least three or four of the ones in this photo seem to be US ribbons - the Purple Heart, the Army Commendation Ribbon, the Air Force Antarctic service medal, and and the Air Force Commendation Medal. There's also one that looks like the Berlin Service Medal. I can't see enough to make out any others. The other medals and sprockets look to be self-issued.

#6 The missing sprocket was his 39 year pin, we didn't get to hear about the ceremony for his 40'th
