OH!
I forgot. Didn't Muammer al-Gadaffi support Idi Amin? Didn't he send troups to help Amin when they tried to knock him out of his Presidency for life?
In 2006 Big G. spoke on national TV and said that all his political opponents should be killed.
Isn't the truth about "no human rights abuses" that CasualIgnorance is a part of Gadaffis spewing of lies across the internet as well as through televison and radio?
Gadaffi was hailed for announcing that he would follow "most" human rights. But he didn't!

I've heard on ATS that God is real, that Comet Elinin is actually a spaceship and the Queen is really a shape-shifting alien lizard.
Saddam built up a great Education and Healthcare system in Iraq preior to 1991, but the guy was still a brutal bastard. One doesn't preclude the other.
And the bit at the end.. "one of the top 5 countries in economic capacity".. Not even remotely true, no matter where you heard it. If Libya was in the top 5 economic powers, they would have a seat at the UNSC, World Bank, IMF, G8 and G20 just to start with.
In the following article, Kathy Kelly refers to the testimony before Congress some ten years ago given by a woman named Nayirah.
You probably heard about her testimony. She was the volunteer nurse who said she witnessed Iraqi soldiers pulling babies out of incubators and tossing them on the cold floor to die. She told of witnessing other horrors as well.
What you may not know is: Nayirah's entire testimony was fabricated. Not a word was true. Nayirah was actually the daughter of Kuwait's Ambassador in Washington and she had been in her family's palatial home in Washington during the period described below. She never left the U.S. There was no vacation in Kuwait, there was no sister with a newborn baby, no volunteer work in a hospital, no leaflets handed out and no Iraqi troops. There were only stories, the product of imagination - her imagination and the imagination of the people that coached her.
Reading these lies is useful. It prepares us to treat with skepticism the atrocity stories we are fed on CNN et al, and which are used to justify wars of conquest by our Imperial rulers. Notice as you are reading that even though you know none of what Nayirah is saying is true, that despite this knowledge she effects you. Reading it you want to sympathize with the poor child and have to remind yourself: she never left Washington. It's all made up.
Nayirah testified before a special session of something called the "Congressional Human Rights Caucus Committee" on October 10, 1990. Her stories, especially the famous incubator nightmare, were used by Pres. Bush and the media to justify the savage assault on Iraq. The assault has continued to this day, resulting in the death of over a million children, not to mention untold numbers of older people. Not to mention the devastation of what was the richest secular Arab culture.
After you finish reading Nayirah please read Kathy Kelly's spare description of her visit t an Iraqi hospital. She tells the truth: it is the West, led by the U.S., which has deprived babies of the means of life, that has left them to die on the cold floor.

Did you? Care to share? Was this on RT or was it the much hated Western/Arab news? Because I find it a little ironic you claim that the images we are seeing on the news are faked, except the one where you saw a Qatari tank?

What evidence have you seen that it was Ghadaffi who did this, other than accusations in the MSM? Have you seen any hard evidence?

I'll give Muammer al-Gadaffi the benefit of the doubt and believe that he took power because he wanted to make things better. He even did make some things better. The sad fact is that he stopped making things better and went down the same path as Lenin, Hitler, Sadam, Amin, Pol Pot and all the other tyrants of the world.
Originally posted by HolgerTheDane
So, basically you have seen no evidence whatsoever, and there is also credible information to suggest that he may not have done it at all.
I'm not saying Ghadaffi is perfect, nor that he has done nothing wrong. I have yet to see one world leadler who is perfect....including our own politicians.
But can't you see how the government propaganda, supported by the MSM are lying to the people constantly. Can't you see that it is OUR western governments which are the biggest terrorists and criminals on planet earth?
Why point the finger at Ghadaffi when our own back yard is covered in more blood, lies, greed and corruption than any others on the planet?
Are you so outraged at your own government's crimes?
It is VERY convenient for them that the people keep swallowing the bs and looking away from the crimes going on at home and pointing the finger at some other country, based on little or no real credible evidence at all.edit on 3-9-2011 by wcitizen because: (no reason given)
