Gaddafi was a Bastard

Post by Dardedar »

A fellow on Intrade was going on about how Gaddafi was a nice guy and we shouldn't have gotten involved in his removal. To quote:
Everything I read showed that Gaddafi did more for his country's people than we could imagine. Free health care, zero interest for housing, automatic $50,000 loans when getting married to buy a house, government grants for education. Things can now only get worse.
Sorry, wrong. Reagan correctly called him the Mad Dog of the Middle East. Gaddafi was a Bastard with bells on. The following is from a long list on a PDF document that requires a Google account. So I'll post it here. It goes back to 1969 but this is just 2011 (which is by far the largest).
