our new best friends over in libya. they're STILL terrorists. no two ways about it. they're STILL monsters. i don't care how much money they toss at us or at a teeny tiny fraction of those they wronged. i am a great proponent of talking. talking even with someone who may be our enemy if it will save lives. talk is one thing. being best buds and putting your arm around someone's shoulders is quite another matter indeed.

do not EVER forget not only WAS gaddafi a terrorist HE STILL THE HELL IS!
