The Fed lent billions to Gaddafi.
This was around the time that W sent Condi to Tripoli to make nice with Gaddafi.
And a few months ago, before the uprising in Libya, the U.S. was set to join European nations in arming Gaddafi.
Now the United States is the air force for a movement trying to oust Gaddafi in a civil war.
We're fighting with people the U.S. recently considered the very incarnation of evil -- "terrorists." Boo!
Terrorists who killed Americans in Iraq as we were working to replace Saddam (whom we used to support), with a "democratic" government.
A "democratic" government that is torturing people in secret prisons.
The invasion-occupation of Iraq pulled attention and resources away from our occupation of Afghanistan.
Where we're fighting the Taliban, who were among the Mujahideen, whom we supported as they battled the Soviets.
And it was in Afghanistan in the eighties that the U.S. helped bring up a man named Osama Bin Laden.
Who years later ordered planes to be flown into the World Trade Center.
Prompting the U.S. to launch a Great War of Terror.
Which led George Bush to get in bed with Gaddafi in the name of fighting terrorists.
Like those among the opposition force we're backing in Libya.
And thinking of arming.
What could go wrong?
