Yes, a funny thing happened today at the war. Which one you say? Why America's most recent endeavor of course. The war in Libya. Well, it actually isn't a real war now is it. But none the less, we are involved or at least we were.
And now this?
Libya launches revenge attacks on British targets after Gaddafi 'assassination' attempt
The British embassy in Tripoli was set alight and other Western buildings targeted following an attack that killed members of the Libyan dictator’s family.
Saif al-Arab Gaddafi, the dictator’s youngest son, was killed by an airstrike on a house in Tripoli on Saturday night. The regime also said that three of Col Gaddafi’s grandchildren died.
Col Gaddafi himself was said to have been in the building at the time but emerged unhurt. His spokesman described the strike as “a direct operation to assassinate the leader of this country.”
Nato denied targeting the Libyan leader personally, but confirmed an attack on a “military target” in a “known command-and-control building” in the capital.
The strike raised international tensions over Libya still higher, but British ministers were unrepentant. David Cameron accused the Libyan leader of “murdering” his own people.
It seems? The Libyans are absolutely incensed over this attack on Kadaffi. And to add to the confusion? They have gone and blamed the British for it!
When in the last sixty years has anything happened on this planet that America hasn't been blamed?
Is this the hope and change we were promised three years ago? Sure looks like it to me, as it certainly hasn't shown up in the economic outlook. So the real change that has arrived? Is America is no longer the first to be blamed for something.
I am going to have problems getting use to this change.
