#1 Brilliant idea: if we ever actually go to war with this man who apparently staged a tactical retreat when he turned over his nuclear program to the U.S., it will take considerably fewer of our missiles (or whatever) to blow up the things we want blown up. I'm all for waging war on the cheap, if it can be done effectively. ;-)

#2 I'm sorry, refresh my memory.
Who brokered the mideast road map to a new palestinian state?
Who is the largest foreign contributor to the palestinian authority?
Who leans on Israel to keep them from annihilating those worthless, thankless, brainless toads?
It's a damn shame we are against the palestinians.

Re Goofy's HIV-related ranting:

"Fears remain that 16 medical workers accused of deliberately infecting almost 400 Libyan children with HIV could be sentenced to death if convicted."

"The groupâa male doctor and five female nurses from Bulgaria, a male Palestinian doctor, and nine Libyan former hospital managers and staffâhave been held in prison for four and a half years as their court case continues (BMJ 2001;322:260)."

"Charges were brought against them in February 1999 after 393 children were found to have been infected with HIV at Al-Fateh Children's Hospital in Benghazi. The health staff are accused of deliberately injecting the patients with blood contaminated with HIV. Twenty one infected children are known to have died by 2000, and up to 60 more are believed to have died since then."

"The Libyan authorities have just agreed to let Professor Luc Montagnier, the discoverer of HIV, and Professor Vittorio Collizzi, of the Virology and Immunopathology Laboratory at Tor Vergata University in Rome, testify at the trial next month."

"Professors Montagnier and Collizzi visited Libya on the official invitation of the Qaddafi International Foundation for Charity Associations, run by Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi's son Seif El Islam Gadaffi, with the aim of identifying the cause of the tragedy. The professors recently submitted a joint report in which they concluded that the mass infection was due to poor hygiene standards at the hospital that pre-dated the foreign health workers' employment there."

#4 How would booby-trapping everything stop a nuke attack again? I'm not sure he really thought that through all the way.

#5 Bobby-trapping everything would cause a chain-reaction to a well-placed MOAB - same sort of effect that the firebombing of Tokyo had. The fires all joined together and created a massive firestorm that actually melted streets. With everything booby-trapped {including people}, one MOAB would effectively become the world's most powerful cluster munition.

#7 Mmmmm, boobies!

No denying Khadaffy is a nutjob dictator, but of all those wackos, he is my favorite. The man has a sense of style that is his alone.

#8 "The Colonel" by describing the premises of Cold War-era Commie "People's War", and post-Cold War/USSR "Asymmetric Warfare" is indirectly affirming that these and suicide attacks are mostly political weapons, not a military one, where final victory is achieved by means and methods other than direct organized/centralized linear combat. The Colonel is also affirming what is likely to be used against any America attack by Iran and North Korea wid the exception that the guerillas will also have nukes, biowar, and chemwar assets. Liberalism = Popular Capitalism > akin to LIMITED SOCIALISM -the glitch here is that America's Liberals and aligned no longer want alleged LIMITED SOCIALISM, THEY WANT TOTAL/ABSOLUTE SOCIALISM OR GOVERNMENTISM IN EVERYTHING. For the time being America's Liberals or Colonel-noid "Popular Capitalists" want Limited-Total Socialism disguised as the PC, ambiguous, subjective "Status Quo" or other. By inferring America as a "gigantic power" the Colonel is indir affirming that America is too successful and too big for the world to seemingly contain or control, too big and strong for the world's britches. THe world has to combine in order to stop = destroying America while internally the US DemoLefties poison us and save = weaken us from within.
