Why Col.Qaddafi calls Israel (CANCER OF THE MIDDLE_EAST?Isn't he the CANCER Himself?

Question

This crazy M-F has been in power for 39 years and calls others Cancer,I think America made a big mistake by invading Iraq I think America should of kicked this F-Creep Qaddafi instead. Do I have point or not....Tell me Guys!!!!

Answer 1

But Gadaffi does not have the oil that Saddam had did he? America is not bothered about evil dictators as long as they are helping them - they even armed Saddam and supported Pol Pot.

Answer 2

What exactly is your point? That the US should invade Libya too?

Don't we have enough on our plates with Mr. Wolfowitz's War in Iraq? Aren't the neo-conmen beating the drums to drag the US into a war with Iran and you want the US to invade Libya because mean ol' Muammar said bad things about isreal?

Qaddafi has been a non-entity for 20 years now. If anything, he exemplifies the policy that economic sanctions do work. This isn't something the neo-conmen like to hear, though.

Qaddafi was the first Muslim leader to denounce Al Qaeda after 9/11. He has also completely opened his nuclear program to international inspection. When do you suppose israel will get around to doing the same?

Lots of people think israel is a cancer, so what? This didn't happen in a vacuum. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, whether you agree with it or not. Get over it.

Gaddafi is nothing.

Answer 3

Agreed. To bad the "surgical" strike ordered by Pres. Reagan in April 1986 failed to remove the cancer. I don't agree with you on Iraq though. Stop and take a logical look. According to Intel and the Dems themselves, Al Qa'ida is in Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran, another words everywhere but in Iraq? How is this possible? There were terrorist training camps operating out of Iraq and the insurgents are still there. Radical Islam ideology has no intent of ever stopping. Now, we can choose to meet them in battle over there or in you own backyards. Which do you prefer?

Answer 4

To a degree you have 2 points, both are partly valid.

The US should not have invaded Iraq, Saddam was under control, we should have invaded Iran, or Syria but probably Iran, they are a real threat.

Lybia took huge strides to try to normalize relations with the US immediately following the implementation of the "Bush Doctrine". Qaddafi might be crazy but he's not stupid, he knew his name was on the list of countries to be toppled.

He has not followed through very well however which again adds credence to your point.

I would however submit that Iran is and has been a much larger threat ever since the revolution and taking of US hostages.

Answer 5

Actually, Qaddafi has moderated his view in the past few years. In fact, he gave up his nuclear weapons program about April of 2003. Funny thing too, about the same time we went into Iraq.

Answer 6

Obama will do not something for Israel. he will talk possibly, yet not intrude. he's a Muslim as effective as i'm white and male. This guy is an absolute threat to the international as fairly everybody comprehend it. human beings could end looking with the aid of those rose colored glasses.

Answer 7

You know, I was thinking about this yesterday when I was watching a Discovery program about the Lybian bombing of Pan Am 103 in 1988 in which 270 people were murdered by this bastard. Most of them were Americans. And Saddam was hanged for killing some 189 odd Kurds? What is Bush thinking? Are not Americans murdered in a terrorist attack more important than Kurds to him?

But Bush gives him a free pass. What do you think is behind that?

Answer 8

I am a supporter of many things Israel does, but there is also a strong contingent that wants to expand the borders of Israel to the size of the map still kept in their capital city which includes ALL the "promised land". Unfortunately, a few other countries presently hold that land. They attempted this several times, including during the Suez Canal crisis, in which we had to chase them out with the fleet out of Italy. More than any other nation there they have aggressively expanded their borders.

At the same time, since that land was "owned" by the few wandering people who were Islamic, Islam is bound by its religion to reclaim it. Once something is owned by Islam, it can never be given back and must be fought for by all means to keep (countries, cities, houses, businessess).

A reason I would never accept an Islamic boss, renter, or give any property to anyone of Islam. They live by very different rules. In many ways, they have a wise rule there. It's one of the reasons they've been so successful. Same goes for people who join Islam. Join and leave, you die.

Qaddafi has his faults, and due to the fact that Saddam tried to assassinate one of our Presidents (Bush the elder), attacked our troops while we were passively defending Kuwait (repeatedly, after which we almost kicked him out), and tried to invade one of our allies, we attacked Iraq. Since we had trouble proving an attack on our sovereign nation or troops by Qaddafi, we couldn't attack that way.

It's why we haven't attacked North Korea, or Iran.

Funny how some want us to attack people or countries that HAVEN'T attacked us, but wish we had never attacked Iraq, which had (not with terrorism, but with an attempted assassination on our President, and attacking our troops repeatedly while we were giving aid to Kuwait during the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, when we weren't yet attacking Iraq).

Instead, we did bomb Qaddafi for minor things he did to sponsor attacks on us, just as President Clinton did when Iraq tried similar games.

There's a pattern to why nations attack each other. Most people don't care about that. They just want to see their ideology spread and forced on others. Politicians use this, but the important leaders know how it is done, and do it properly in most cases.

Answer 9

Col. Qaddafi has been a changed man overall since Reagan bombed his home and killed his baby son. He has since ended his nuclear weapons program, paid off the settlement to a Pan-Am bombing that his agents were responsible for, he also surrendered 3 of the agents to the UN tribunals. Libya is no threat now. Let him talk.

Answer 10

The old goat has mellowed considerably in his old age. If we were going to kick his butt it should have been done years ago. And just to point out an error, he is in northern Africa, not the middle east.
