Monoclinic 39 Posted March 5, 2011 revolution ayayayayayyayayayayayyayayeeeee....... Can't wait until East Turkmenstanies freak out! Fuck Communism. They screwed up this country long enough. This is 2011, not 1989... Perhaps do a little google before you play the smartarse card I'd not hesitate to say 1989 passed Turkmenistan by... Well, I had no idea Turkmenistan was in North Africa and whose regime had been propped up by oil and US patronage.... Yes, it's tucked between Yemen, Bahrain and if rumour has it parts of China.

fourty-two 1 Posted March 6, 2011 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Turkestan How is Uyghirstan anywhere close to Yemen, and, Bahrain, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia? North Africa. I just made the reference to Arab countries revolting, that perhaps their Uyghir brothers might decide to do the same, and really fuck China over, at least cause some headaches for the Party, would suffice for them trying to freeze me to death in a cheap apartment.... with shitty internet and poisonous food, and second hand smoke. Like no problems with smokers, people should enjoy what they enjoy, but I'm dying out here.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted March 7, 2011 Speaking of point scoring, we're past the point at which I intended to declare the poll over. So the winner is the only person to date to call it for alive and in charge of some territory...reveal yourself Sir, or Madam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windsor 2,233 Posted March 17, 2011 Gaddafi may have a problem. Learning from the mistakes of Iraq and Afghanistan, the UN have decided to shoot the place up but not hang around to put the bits back together again... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted March 18, 2011 Aye, as Jim Bowen might say....GAME ON! I have a sneaky feeling the UN will want to be seen to do the right thing throughout this little escapade so they're thinking International Criminal Court for the Colonel. Taking him alive may be a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Bearer 6,102 Posted March 18, 2011 Why are we all ganging up on Gaddafi? There's unrest in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia with their presidents & kings sending troops/police to quell their riots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deathstar 1 Posted March 18, 2011 Why are we all ganging up on Gaddafi? There's unrest in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia with their presidents & kings sending troops/police to quell their riots. Cameron says Bahrain offered a referendum to the people so they doing it by the book. Personally I believe its none of our business and no one should be going to another country and deciding to tell them what the can do. It's Gadaffi's country he rules it if he wants to fly planes and fight back of course he should do these UN people really think he should sit back and let people try come and get him he has every right to fight for his land as anyone else. Leave it to them and stay out of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Body Snatcher 44 107 Posted August 22, 2011 Amazing - Gaddafi is like the fourth dictator to be removed from power this year and like the fifth or sixth villain to be ousted from a position of authority - the world seems to be ridding itself of these less than savory characters, so maybe there is hope that we'll see deathlist hits of the likes of Kim Jong-il, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Erich Priebke and, dare I say it, Margaret Thatcher.

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted August 22, 2011 Gunmen attack Gaddafi son's home on live TV Libyan leader Moamar Gaddafi's eldest son has been cut off during a live interview after gunmen surrounded his house. Mohammed Gaddafi told Al Jazeera television he had been detained by rebels and was being kept under house arrest in Tripoli. "Gunmen surrounded my house and I am still at home and they are outside," he said by telephone from Tripoli. "They said they will guarantee my safety. They are besieging my house." The sound of gunfire could be heard in the background. "Yes, the gunfire is inside my house," he said before the line was suddenly cut off. He later clarified he and his family were well and unhurt. The International Criminal Court (ICC) has confirmed another of Gaddafi's sons, Saif al-Islam, has been arrested. Moamar and Saif al-Islam Gaddafi are wanted by the ICC on charges of crimes against humanity.
