Who do you think is behind the attempted overthrow of Qadaffi?

Is it al Qaeda rebels?

Is it the CIA?

Is it other Arab nations?

Both President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton have stated that Qadaffi should leave immediately. Is America connected in any way to this attempted overthrow?

1. al Qaeda had nothing to do with it.

However, they may try to benefit from it.

5. He's a tyrant? As witnessed by his 40+ year personal monopoly on the wealth and govt. of Libya?

And a significant number of Libyan people are sick of his shit and got inspired by revolutions on either side of them, occurring first in Tunisia and then Egypt?

7. Pizza Hut. They are desperate to expand and have hired black ops teams from Blackwater

to soften up the region.

I kid. Of course it's the opressed people of Libya.

8. Kentuck, while there may be other forces now exploiting this revolt...

do you not think it was a popular uprising that began this?

11. It was this guy.

Ask Him to Stop Killing Us

He's an IT guy, go figure. Listen carefully. Find out why he's alone in a server room at midnight streaming from Benghazi.

I think these people had something to do with it too. A "family", out in their "car", where they shouldn't have been. Scofflaws, no doubt:

Now multiply those two by 6,000,000 or so and you'll have your answer. The ones you mentioned have benefited by the status quo. The ones making a revolution have not.

16. I get a feeling from the thousands of Libyans fighting for their lives against an insane ruler...

Must be Bush's fault. Everything is Bush's fault. Plus Libya has oil.
