    Maybe it takes more than a half-hearted attempt to get behind people in revolt when you've supported the regime they've hated for decades to get them to like you. Maybe reconciliation with Islam isn't as hard as some would believe.

    I know it's been posted before, but it's great how this is happening a country that is longer under the oppressive thumb of a brutal dictator. It's also nice that our nation was in this incident not on the side of the dictator, but with those that tossed out the dictator.

    The USA have supported Gaddhafi for decades?

    Melodramatic, re-posting intern - improve your research skills.

    Reference was actually to Egypt where we have seen quite a contrast.

    I'll leave it at that. Personal attacks are best left out of the thread.

    It took them this long to decide they no longer like AQ?

    AQ has guns.

    I've heard Chris Stevens was well liked by the populace in several reports. The guy must've been a saint.

    It took them about a year after Gaddafi fell to do something like this about Islamic extremism.

    Of course, they've loved AQ all the time. You can tell.

    Interesting, because this latest news occurred, and was published---

    If you have a problem with starting threads on new developments, one might kindly note that your own thread-starting should reflect this belief.

    Interesting, because you obviously missed this thread.

    And the pictures you posted are from 2 weeks ago and have been posted several times.

    Next time, read first, intern.

    That was developing, this has developed. If the moderators feel it is of the same topic, they can move it. I could care less.

    Yawn, ATW. If all you can find to debate & discuss is the date things have been posted, I don't think we should be talking (as usual). In your enforcement of the civil code of this forum, perhaps entering threads and dispensing personal attacks liberally should be something you should examine of your own behavior. Or you can call up the outrage of forum protocol. Heh.

    Anyways, have a good day, ATW. We shan't be talking for the next day or so, so I'll take the time to wish you well. Please, don't tire yourself in your rigid enforcement of forum rules; people are counting on you!

    Yay! We have Islamophobe thread police now? People mad at attention being drawn to Muslims doing something that do not fit the scary image that they want Muslims to fit.

    Either this or they just don't want their country occupied.

    Interesting. Very interesting and frankly scary behavior. You really shouldn't be getting so irritated at such a great post being posted multiple times.

    You are welcome, unemployed troll with no life who scours basketball news all day and routinely gets owned by anyone he gets into a discussion with.

    Lol.. This coming from a guy who bothers to track down all prior threads and instances where info relating to Libyans rejecting jihadist violence had been posted in order to complain about the posting of a thread on a similar topic as repetitive. This coming from a guy who reflexively posts all news in which some Islamist acts like an ass clown and demand condemnation from everybody. This comes from someone who makes posts in all Middle East/Muslim related threads.

    Oh, and remember this stuff about your "why Pakistan no condemn minister bounty?" thread?

    Here ya go, news broke yesterday. Condemnation came soon after: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-19690210. Quite predictable. No need to freak out.

    For instance, your
