36. Gaddafi was doing a pretty good job...
...of keeping the IMF and the predatory Western "lenders" out of Africa.
You can put whatever label you wish on him,
but thats a fact,
and it was one of the many facts that was left out of the US Media's Rush to WAR.

” For all his dictatorial megalomania, Gaddafi is a committed pan-African - a fierce defender of African unity. Libya was not in debt to international bankers. It did not borrow cash from the International Monetary Fund for any "structural adjustment". It used oil money for social services - including the Great Man Made River project, and investment/aid to sub-Saharan countries. Its independent central bank was not manipulated by the Western financial system. All in all a very bad example for the developing world.”

How long do you think it will be before the Western "Peacekeepers" descend on Libya
to keep "The Rebels" from slaughtering more Libyans,
and make sure that "Their Guy" is installed to POWER?

You know the PLAN is to turn Libya into a Global Free Market HELL don't you?
After All, Freedom Bombs are NOT "Free"....
Just Like Iraq.


How soon some choose to forget.
