    And the U.S. is sitting on top of 200 BILLION barrels of oil, and not a single person in power with the balls to tell the Sierra Club to go to hell...

    I fully agree with the concept of drill baby drill and not buying anothe drop of oil from the **** ever again, but fits we need to get people with a frim grasp of the Constitution and an understanding of Divine Provenance and American Exceptionalism. The time for "Manifest Destiny" is over.

    Quoted from http://money.cnn.com/2011/10/20/news/economy/Libyan_assets/index.htm?hpt=hp_t2 :biggrin:
    Even before Moammar Gadhafi's death Thursday, the Treasury Department was already starting to thaw some $37 billion worth of frozen Libyan assets to make them available to the new government in Tripoli.

    The new Libyan government will get all the money. Eventually.

    Earlier this year, the United States froze its piece of what some analysts believe to be as much as $150 billion in assets that had been available to the Gadhafi regime around the world.

    ..........

    Sen. John McCain told CNN on Thursday that, during his visit to Tripoli a few weeks ago, new government officials told him they're willing to reimburse the United States for its role in helping end the Gadhafi regime. So far, that tab has run about $1.2 billion, according to Pentagon and State Department officials.

    "Obviously, it's their money," said McCain, in Arizona Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee. "They are willing to reimburse us and our allies. They're obviously are going to be a very wealthy country."

    I think that Kumar will end up ruling Egypt.

    It's a beautiful country, too bad it will be damn near hands-off for any tourism for the next 5 years at least.

    So they killed the ugliest guy that ever was.

    Egypt had more flies per square inch than all the other countries I've been to combined.

    The domino effect that you refer to is not going to do anything but create theocratic states that will make Iran look like Sweden. "Political Correctness" has bred a new kind of cockroach that isn'y afraid of the shadows anymore. If you look to Europe, you will clearly see that they are next to burn at the hands of nutjobs like the muslim brotherhood and their allies. These are dangerous times, and I suggest that you get your learn on about it before you start dancing in the streets.
