U.S. to Renew Diplomatic Ties With Libya

[Psycho4Bud]

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration has decided to restore normal diplomatic relations with Libya for the first time in over a quarter century after taking Moammar Gadhafi's country off a U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism, State Department officials said.

Gdhafi was once known here as perhaps the most dangerous man in the Middle East. President Reagan ordered air attacks against Libya in 1981 and 1986, the latter because of suspected Libyan sponsorship of a terrorist attack at a West Berlin disco frequented by American soldiers. Two Americans died there.

Since 2003, however, Libya has been held up as a model by the administration for the way aspiring nuclear weapons powers should behave.

The American attack on Iraq made Gadhafi wonder whether he would be next. In December 2003, he agreed to surrender his weapons of mass destruction facilities and agreed to allow them to be shipped for storage in the United States.

Welcome back to the fold!!:D

Have a good one Gadhafi!:thumbsup:

Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi said he was sorry that Reagan died without standing trial for 1986 air strikes he ordered that killed Gadhafiâ??s adopted daughter and 36 other people.

Reagan ordered the April 15, 1986, air raid in response to a disco bombing in Berlin allegedly ordered by Gadhafi that killed two U.S. soldiers and a Turkish woman and injured 229 people.

Post Carter era......Reagan showed these folks that we grew a set since Jimmy left office. The strike was actually to take out Gadhafi.

Have a good one!:thumbsup:

All the US is doing is:
making sure the US has oil b/c of a future war w/ Iran
Iran will halt oil exports to the US b/c of the sanctions that will
be put upon it...
now Libya's oil industry is being revived b/c they "are no longer a terrorist state"
i don't know all the history of Libya, but ITS CLEAR
THERE ARE DEF. CORPORATE INTERESTS INVOLVED IN THIS DEAL

You better check out your facts. I don't think that we've bought any oil from Iran for a hell of a long time now. Iran supplies China, India, Europe.....not the U.S.

better look at current events
Iran said they would halt oil production if/when US attacks
what would happen to China, India, and Europe:
they would get from other places, like Iraq, Venezuela, Niger, Saudi Arabia...
More Demand + Less Supply= GUARANTEED Higher Price
GET REAL PSYCHO, oil is oil!

LOL.....I do! Chirac had the law changed for terrorist attacks on France to INCLUDE "economic terrorism", like shutting off oil supplies. When he did this and stated the reason.....well....read for yourself!



Iranâ??s chief justice rips Chiracâ??s nuke warning
Tehran, Iran, Jan. 25 â?? Iranâ??s top Islamic judge said on Wednesday that the European Union was losing ground in its push to refer the Islamic Republicâ??s nuclear program to the United Nations Security Council after French President Jacques Chirac threatened that France might use its nuclear might to respond to a major terror attack on its soil.

Iranâ??s Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi-Shahroudi told reporters that the stance taken by â??certain European officialsâ?� about a nuclear war showed the EUâ??s â??weaknessâ?� regarding other statesâ?? rights to develop nuclear energy.

Shahroudi said that the Islamic Iranian nation believed nuclear capabilities to be Iranâ??s â??rightâ?�.

The EU along with the United States believe that Tehran is pursuing a covert nuclear weapons program under the guise of peaceful nuclear energy production.

you have brought forth something that is not relevant to what you brought against me (something i actually never typed), and nothing to do w/ the response i gave you

[Psycho4Bud]

You stated that Iran supplies us with oil.....they don't
You stated that the U.S. "will" impose sanctions....we already have

Your response:

"Iran said they would halt oil production if/when US attacks
what would happen to China, India, and Europe:
they would get from other places, like Iraq, Venezuela, Niger, Saudi Arabia..."

That wouldn't happen, there would be a temporary shut down before you would find French armies gaurding Iranian oil riggers....they would use nukes to secure their position.

If thats not a response, don't know what to tell ya bro!

Have a good one!:thumbsup:

Don't you find it a bit ironic though that the U.S. is portrayed as the "big war mongers" and France is the first to threaten to use nukes?

King of the world...fuck that.....pain in the ass job if ya ask me! LOL

we both know that if Iran attacked the US on its soil [as the conditions of the use of nukes was for the French]
the first thing the Bush Admin would do
is press the "nukes" button:thumbsup:

and then proceed to violently scavenger up all those persons fleeing the nukes,
detaining them, no lawyer blah blah blah
torture them
and if they make it out alive then can only do so
much as stick the finger at Bush's Policies b/c a lawsuit is far from within arm's reach

If Iran was to attack us...HELL YES! Turn Tehran into a glass parking lot!

But that's not the case:
The world wants Iran to act reasonable about nuclear energy

Iran refused the Russians to do enrichment which shows they have other thoughts besides "peaceful" uses

The U.N. talked of possible chapter 7 trade embargos

Iran threatened to shut off oil supplies

CHIRAC threatened the use of nukes do to "economic" terrorism


You got the U.S. being the dirty birds, throwing the first nukes, detention camps, etc..............UNREAL! Where the hell did you get that from???

let me spell it out for you, though i thought it would be clear [since you presented the article....

back to what I SAID:

so, my original point referring to this:


Don't you find it a bit ironic though that the U.S. is portrayed as the "big war mongers" and France is the first to threaten to use nukes?

King of the world...fuck that.....pain in the ass job if ya ask me! LOL

Have a good one!

so, although you deem France saying in retaliation to an attack on its soil that they would use nukes as "the first to threathen"
it is safe to say, if the US was in the same situation [attack on its soil by Iran],
we would nuke them back too

BUT with the policies we have towards the 'war on terror'
it wouldn't only be nukes
it would be the whole 9,
as i layed out b4

Psycho...on the bombing of his home...now Libya paid millions to the families of the victims of that plane they took responsibility for shooting down right..why shouldn't our country have paid for killing an innocent child? We were after him but killed an innocent..whats the difference?

Libya was a BIG sponser of terror groups at the time. That's the only act they could have pinned on them and after a long time waiting, they finally paid! We were showing ol' boy that the fun and games were done. It's to bad that women and children get in the middle of this stuff but it's also to bad that these Dictators put their countries in harms way by pissing off the rest of the world.

We spoke about bikers one time, would you walk up to one and slap him in the face for no real reason? Thats basically what Libya was doing to the western world.

You state that Iran will shut off our oil ....bullshit, they don't supply it!

You ask what other countries will do......I told ya that France said they'll nuke
........don't ya think they'd do that to keep the oil flowing..........
You said that that response had nothing to do with this??????????

You reply that the U.S. were attacked we would nuke the shit out of them and torture the survivors.......I asked what the hell we had to do with it when france, the nation going for the oil, would be the aggressors


Tell ya what, fine
WE buy oil from Iran:rolleyes:
When we nuke Iran and torture the survivors:rolleyes: other countries will buy all our oil resources from our other suppliers driving up the cost:rolleyes:

America bad.....ALL other countries good!

Have a good one!:thumbsup:

Since were talking about OIL-- Chavez: Oil for no one if Iran attacked-- Rome, May 12 - Visiting Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said here on Thursday in case of a military attack against Iran, no country in the world would have access to crude oil.

Chavez made the remark at a press conference, adding, "as Iran's President Ahmadinejad has reiterated, if Tehran would come under attack, oil would get scarce for everyone."

He also said that the American President George W. Bush should be put to trial at the International Court of Justice for having launched genocide in Iraq.

The Venezuelan president added, "for all the horror it has created around the globe in the course of the past century, the United States' war machine should be dismantled, since under the current conditions it is a threat against the entire mankind, particularly against our children."

Have a good one!:thumbsup:
technically i did say it we did buy oil from Iran,
i'm not up to date on my oil reports,
thanks for keeping me in line, seriously

but, what you don't appreciate
is that it was merely a comparison: France and America
on what they would do, IN THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES!!!!
not that America is "essentially bad"- although i do think that type of policy is bad
.. but was merely saying, France is not an "large" aggressor,
b/c other countries-like us- would do the same
:thumbsup:
