For more than twenty years, the families of the Victims of Pan Am 103 have been fighting tirelessly in the pursuit of justice and justice demands that the tyrannical Ghadaffi regime needs to be held accountable for the murder of our loved ones. Today, we have learned the Ghadaffi may have been captured or killed. First, we want to commend the Libyan people for their courage and determination. Their freedom has come at a very high cost of their loved ones, so we all owe them a debt of gratitude. We also want to commend the NATO forces, especially the US military and the Obama administration. It might have been easier to stand back and allow potentially tragic events to play out. Instead, the US, the UK and France showed tremendous courage in the face of challenging political and diplomatic circumstances

I can't believe this slipped my memory, every day from 2001-2009 democrats were DEMANDING Bush go to war with Libya.
How could I forget?!?!?!?!?!?!
While not a Democrat, I cannot recall the Democrats Demanding war with Libya during the Bush years, however I do recall this,
We are taking these actions in recognition of Libya's continued commitment to its renunciation of terrorism and the excellent cooperation Libya has provided to the United States and other members of the international community in response to common global threats faced by the civilized world since September 11, 2001, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in a statement.

The Iran and Libya Sanctions Act of 1996 (ILSA) was a 1996 act of Congress that imposed economic sanctions on firms doing business with Iran and Libya. On September 30, 2006, the act was renamed to the Iran Sanctions Act (ISA), as it no longer applied to Libya, and extended until December 31, 2011. As of March 2008, ISA sanctions had not been enforced against any non-US company;

Point is, this "scum" is no longer in the picture, and like it or not the current President is going to get some Credit for it, even if he deserves it or not. US asssets in this case were used to support the NATO effort in Libya and in doing so helped rid the world of a 42 year dictator that had no problems with the murder of innocent Americans. So personally I don't give a hoot in hell who get's credit for it, as long as the end result is the same.
Insert the word Iraq wherever you see Libya and you get all the same arguments republicans have made and are making for blowing up Iraq.
The scale is different obviously, but in principle blowing up Iraq and blowing up Libya are the same thing.
Expect to see plenty of our contracting pals nation-building in Libya.
And I'm sure, with our moral and beloved gov't, this time it has NOTHING to do with the country having a lot of oil.
