#1 So now it starts: Sharia law, no NATO or others that helped. maybe the bombings should continue before the new 'owners' can get the place 'fixed up.'
What's the over/under on how long before OBumble starts his 'World Apology and Bowing Tour' sequel to go visit the New Libya?

#2 "We assure the international community that we are seeking to build solid ties based on mutual respect," he said, adding that countries would benefit from "special privileges" in relations with the oil-rich north African country.

Sounds like they're "open for business". Meet the new boss, same as the old boss...

#3 Personally, I view this very unsurprising announcement as very good news for the American tax payer. Arab gratitude, so predictable. Have the anti-Israel slogans begun to be braodcast yet? Please break out the AQ and Taliban training camp blueprints.

#4 "We assure the international community that we are seeking to build solid ties based on mutual respect," he said, adding that countries would benefit from "special privileges" in relations with the oil-rich north African country.

Western countries will have the special privilege of being among the first allowed to donate billions of dollars a year to a country with one of the highest per capita oil reserves in the world. McCain has spoken out in favor of large aid packages to help what he described as heroes. It's nice to know that the GOP has beaten Jimmy Carter at his own game, it is now able to help parties hostile to the US gain power without actually having the presidency in its grasp.

#6 Have the anti-Israel slogans begun to be braodcast yet?

Queerly enough, Besoeker, someone from the rebels contacted the head of the Libyan Jewish community in Britain, asking them to send candidates to run in the next election. Which has nothing to do with anti-Israel sloganeering, of course. Link

#7 One nice thing that Libya might actually do now is to allow more rights to the Berber ethnicity. A small de Arabization would be welcome and might lead to eventual secularization.
