@mushroomagicman Aah making a lot of sense now!

Did you follow my advice? #LOL

[mushroomagicman]

@KnewWorldNoing I need no advice young fellow, for I have my own mind, well-schooled and observant. What advice do you refer to, Oh learned one? Elaborate dear fellow - i am intrigued by your statement.

[KnewWorldNoing]

@mushroomagicman Oh ok, I love to be refered to as a young fellow. It wasn't really my advice, more like Terence McKenna. I'm not very learned btw, I do have a sharp observation and I love a challenge.

Oh hey, remeber to turn off your mind!

@charlesvan13 no. that is not entirely accurate. the US has been trying push out Gaddafi in favor of more compliant leadership for some time now. US/NATO has basically armed dissidents and fomented a civil war. A violation of international law.

@bigblackafrika

I think RT is some kind of joke. The nato involvement started when Gaddafi turned his military against the Libyan people.

some of this commentary was confusing. if the war ain't about gaddafi and if gaddafi is simply a neo-lib convert then why has the USG attempted to kill him on several occasions? it doesn't add up.
