> A Militant Gadhafi Threatens to Target European ‘Homes, Offices, Families’ Posted on July 1, 2011 at 2:30pm by Billy Hallowell

Let's see. The Regan admnistration bombed his home and killed his son in the 80s. Then recently the Nato axis bombed his home and killed his other son, his son's best friend, and his three grandchildren, aged 2 years old and six months old. Gaddafi should love the West and send flowers and teddy bears to every western government in the Nato axis.
I am sure the Nato axis is very brave for killing children with war planes. Then the Nato axis really, really did not take sides in a civil war inside Lybia. The opposition trying to depose Gaddafi was never, never infiltrated by Al Qaeda. And oil tankers never came to rebel-held territory to ship oil to refineries in the UK.
Just like in Iraq, it is all about the war on terror and democracy. Oil has nothing to do with it. If Lybia had no oil, the Nato axis would still be bombing Lybia just like they took such an active role in Bahrain and deposed a despotic king who jailed and made disappear hundreds of opponents.
If Gaddafi is a coward and a thug, then the Nato axis is a fascist empire of hypocrites that acts only when politically and economically convenient.
