Hat tip to Jihad Watch
Do you remember last year when NATO assisted the Libyan people in their effort to topple Muammar Qaddafi? Remember all, that talk about protecting the Libyan people from being attacked by Qaddafi's army? That was the official justification for getting involved in the first place.
Of course you do. It was only last year.
For you older folks, you may also remember that Libya was a battleground during World War II when the Allies were fighting the German army across North Africa. (I suppose you younger folks may not be aware since your teachers and professors don't bother to educate you about what we did in World War II.)
Here is the gratitude that the Libyan people show to the British soldiers who died in Libya during the Second World War and are buried there.

I can only hope that the British government will re patriot those bodies to British soil. I also say it is time to leave the Libyans to their own devices. They are ungrateful. Of course, they welcomed the NATO troops when we joined in the fighting, but once victory is achieved, what do they do? They desecrate British World War II graves.
But I must be realistic. This is the same British government that allowed itself to be humiliated time and time again by Qaddafi. This is the same British government that allowed the "diplomats" who murdered a British policewoman to return home to a hero's welcome. This is the same government that released the one convicted Pan Am 103 bomber and allowed him to return to a hero's welcome in Libya. They will not walk away from Libya for the same reason they released the Pan Am bomber.
Oil.

Who's "they"?
Did the Libyan government order the descration? Did one of the militia commanders? Have the individual perpetrators been identified by name and political affiliation?
Are you sure this wasn't done by an underground cell of pro-Qadaffi people with nothing better to do?
Next time someone paints a swastika on a wall, somewhere in America, let's run headlines in Europe and in Israel saying "This is what Americans do."
If you look at the video, does it appear to you that the action was carried out in haste-worried about when the cops would show up?
What cops? Everyone who questions whether we should ever have bombed Qadaffi's tanks highlights the fact that Libya has a very weak central government and a patchwork of local ad hoc government plus competing militia commanders.
So you admit you have no real ID on the perpetrators, just that whoever they are they seem to have had no imminent fear of arrest?
