    Gadahfi is capable of commiting a big massacre before he goes, and he must be stopped now before he does it

    and the international committee has blood on their hands. The "Maddog" as coined by President Reagan

    shows such definance that delete the de and one wonders who is financing him. President Obama

    admires Reagan and this is his chance to show what kind of leader he is.

      What a difference 4 years makes among friends after reading the following article

      Jul 10, 2007 ... U.S. President George W. Bushhas written Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi saying Washington wants to strengthen ties with Libya, ...

      The US has friendships with many of the Middle East leader being tossed out of office. After watching the Iraq invasion to remove Saddam while costing thousands of American soldiers their lives, it's nice to see the citizens remove their own dictators with the US getting involved.

      Thank goodness we don't have the Bush Doctrine as it is scary and with the view to pre emptively attack a country who knows what would be happening now. I reviewed the Bush Doctrine as follows

      “It is an enduring American principle that this duty obligates the government to anticipate and counter threats, using all elements of national power, before the threats can do grave damage. The greater the threat, the greater is the risk of inaction — and the more compelling the case for taking anticipatory action to defend ourselves, even if uncertainty remains as to the time and place of the enemy’s attack. There are few greater threats than a terroristattack with WMD. To forestall or prevent such hostile acts by our adversaries, the United States will, if necessary, act presumptively in exercising our inherent right of self-defense.”

      Rahm had to not only fight other candidates for the job as Mayor but also the Judges. To think two citizens filed a complaint saying Rahm was qualified to run as Mayor. Three Judges had to decide as two said Rahm couldn't run and one Judge said yes. The Chicago newspapers quickly asked the Judges and found two made a political decision not a judicial one. Quickly filing and appeal with the State Supreme Court, the Chief Justices ordered Rahm's name on the ballot before review. 9 State Supreme Court Justices agree Rahm was qualified as a resident of the State and qualified to run for office. The Justices felt the lower court Judges made the wrong ruling. For those who did their best to block Rahm, he was smart enough to know how it works. I wish him the best and he does love his State. Rahm has given alot to America as he come in to help President Obama during the worse time we're had in a long time yet few bother to recognize all he gave up. Good things happen to those who give from the heart without asking what they will receive.

      A foot note in our US history US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has not asked one question in 5 years to any of the cases heard by the Supreme Court. Thomas is just warming the seat, told how to vote and collecting pay check. Good news he and his wife are busy working for extra money from the Koch Bros.
