4. I'm game for a better live link. Anything?

I agree, Sky is shit, but I am not finding anyone else running live with this. Even HLN is talking about makeup (??)

3. All I can think of is those poor families of PanAm Flight 103...

Edited on Sun Aug-21-11 04:59 PM by hlthe2b

I hope when this is finally over, they can find some peace. And if, as it seems, some western governments were "bought off" in terms of the investigation, prosecution, and overall response to that incident--to Gadafffi's benefit--may those leaders rot in their own corruption.

11. The nationalized oil sales have been promised to pay back all

taxpayers expenses.

Will they hold that promise? I think they will.

But who am I to know?

14. They were happy to sell us oil before...

....The end of sanctions, Libya's normalization of relations with the EU and US, and their re-entry into the world petroleum markets, was one of the Bush administration's signal foreign policy accomplishments.

13. I use LiveStation to watch AJ English

For some reason, other live links get all choppy on my 'puter but LiveStation does well. Think I had to initially download it, but it works fine and it has several international channels to pick from.
