7. It is a good setting.
It is the house Ronnie sent "170" planes to bomb.

I wonder how many Libyans today wish Gadaffi had been home that night...

9. He needs a snappy Power Point background like Bush used to use.
It distracted people from the crazy ramblings coming out of his mouth.

11. Not only a psychopath but a total megalomaniac.
But then I guess those aren't really two separate things. Total disconnect from reality--in other words, totally insane.

12. I'll post a full transcript when one is available. The translator is having trouble with his
garbled speech.

22. Just saw a tweet saying they'd have to translate him from Arabic to Arabic first.
Edited on Tue Feb-22-11 12:24 PM by highplainsdem
His sentences weren't making sense even to people who understood the individual words.

16. He's crazy ...
... as a shithouse rat. Shooting your own people rarely ends well, especially when it's clearly documented that you are doing just that.
