A Headline I Never Thought I’d Write: Bush Calls Gaddafi to Express Gratitude

It’s okay if the Bush legacy leaves some forgiveness behind, especially in an area of the world where it’s so sorely needed.

Is Bush palling around with terrorists?

“WE WILL NOT TOLERATE TERRORISM OF ANYKIND!”
Isn’t that what Bush said in one of his “look at me I’m tough” speeches? I’m sure Bush took his cut of the 1.5 billion. I wonder what the families of the American’s lost in the “DAFFY GADAFFI” attacks are thinking.

Well Jake, you have written a lot of headlines this year that you never thought you would be writing last year. America is changing. I just hope you turn your blog into a book that we can one day sit back and read. Anyways, I never trusted Kaddafi. I think he would betray Africans, Arabs and Americans with no qualms whatsoever, together or separately. But there is just some value in letting sleeping dogs lie (or at least pretend to do so) so Kaddafi should be a part of that strategy.

I notice that when Obama plans to meet with terrorist countries it’s “a bold, fresh step”. When Bush does the same, it’s a “hypocritical piece of crap”. I well understand who the hypocrites are.

Yet when Obama said that,the republicans used it as an example of another reason why he shouldnt ben president. It was wrong for America,It was foolish, He cant keep us safe.
Yet now their leader,who in some eyes can do no wrong is doing the same thing, and I dont hear the uproar from fellow republicans. I mean accordng to them, people dont change,they cant change,once an evil terrorist.always an evil terrorist. I guess when money is being exchanged there is always an exception to the republican rule.

that is the way to go Bush! why can’t we all just get along?

I guess he also thanked him for all those oil contracts also.

Vacca, you wrote: “lets remember that he’s largely responsible for turning the biggest communist country in the world, and a sworn enemy of the US, China, into a massive economy that makes most of our consumer goods and has modernized it’s military and spread it’s influence around the world.”
That process was well under way long before Bush was elected, and especially picked up speed in the 90′s, when year after year our country gave it “most favored nation” trading status. China’s membership in the World Trade Organization was finalized during the week of the September 11 attacks. The internationalists have had big plans for China for decades, and Washington has always cooperated with them.

Guess Bush’s motto is ‘better late than never’. I think that jerk president of ours may have had an honest change of heart. Wonder if his daughter had anything to do with it? She stated publicly that she wasn’t sure she was voting FOR repubs on Larry King.

The USG Open Source Center translates an article from the Persian Afghan press alleging that French troops were at one point close to capturing Usamah Bin Ladin in Afghanistan,..
but that American forces stopped them from doing so.
It says that a forthcoming French documentary containing interviews with the French soldiers provides proof for the allegation.
The argument is that the Bush administration needed Bin Ladin to be at large in order to justify its military expansionism.

Not surprising that Libya has the largest proven oil reserves in Africa and huge potential for more if properly explored… Gaddafi has no option but invite western oil companies to repair the energy sector’s crumbling infrastructure so he can improve the country’s output and give back a share of revenue to his people… He needs western capabilities and the west needs his sweet crude oil. That $1.5bn is pretty much pocket change when Libya has estimated foreign reserves of $100bn anyway.

Gaddafi stopped killing western but still continue his black African mass killing from Darfur to Chad, but Bush still willing to go out on date with him for 1.5 billion dollars.

there is no doubt that Qaddhafi is making a strategic choice, as is Bush, in this interaction.
But the argument that Libya needs the US for infrastructure rehab is symbolic of the usual ego-centric, ignorant, and overly arrogant and apponionated statements that one has come to expect from too many young citizens of the US ofA.

Where envnying and strife are,there is confusion and every evil work.
The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by them that make peace.

wow! does this make Bush part of the “axis of evil” ?

It is so sad how some no matter what show there hate for Bush every chance they get but if any one did the same to the Clintons or now Obama we are called hatemonger or such. Yet to them it is okay never to have acknowledged Bush as President but low be the person who says that about Obama! Bush as history will show had to fight on three fronts terrorist. He fought them in Iraq, Afghanistan / Pakistan, and the hardest battle was right here in the US. The liberal who at all cost fought him at every turn and twist they could muster even to stopping to lies! Take the weapons of MSD. Iraq had them and used them this is a historical facts shown in the whole villages were ever man woman and child was killed with them. That alone is proof they had them, and even today when new proof comes out the liberal still will not admit that they were there and used! not a one of them will say how good of a job Bush did in keeping us safe from any more sneak attracts like 9-11 or how he removed the fight from our shores and took it to threes no to give Bush credit would be admitting they were wrong some thing the US liberal is incapable of doing yet is what separates the very best of us from the worst of us the ability of admitting when were wrong but just as the liberals supported there story in the 50′s and 60′s that there were no soviet spies working in the government that later turned out to be a lie they still can not admit it and nothing more but that is who they fully supported then and to this day they do not in my book support America but do they ones who are out to destroy us so that they can then have there socialistic government and change our constitution to what they want not what the founding fathers envisioned!

Ehh??Should a terrorist kill innocent people pay money and get thanks from an american prisident???I hope more terrorists will not start blowing planes and start compensating relatives.
