| Could new Libyan "friendship" include Libyan Troops to Iraq? |
|
Maybe part of the deal to normalize relations with Libya and allow them to re-enter the "community of nations" includes some future use of Libyan armed forces in Iraq to relieve the oppressors ???

Follow the money. There is an exchange of cash going on here somewhere. If not cash, then there are oil contracts on the line.
I would be utterly shocked to see Libya put Muslim soldiers into a position where they are taking orders from infidels and bossing other Muslims around at the bequest of infidels. This is blasphemy to them, and flies in the face of everything I know about these cultures.

| 5. This is another PR move by Bush... |
|
Libya has been trying to reach out to the US for years now, and Bush decided to do it now as a PR move to try and make it look as if the Iraq war is making dictators stand down.
Its a total bullshit smokescreen and we could have made this happen with Lybia years ago.
Its all politics.

They're some of the worst in the world. I remember when they tried to defend Ugandan dictator Idi Amin when Tanzania invaded that country.
The Tanzanian soldiers kicked the Libyan soldiers' asses big time.
