Here's an encapsulated summary of what a thorough discussion of the Libyan situation should sound like.

That's the toughest thing about these discussions.  It's very difficult to quesiton people, even if you are genuinely curious, because things so heated so quickly.

This whole image of Qaddafi as a gold bug is amusing.  Does this mean that Libya is the only participant in this conflict that can afford to finance her own war spending?  Looks like China is footing the bill for everyone else.

In fact, this whole situation has grown bizarre.  The President has stuck the country into war without Congressional authorization (something he said should never ever be done.)  He then immediately jetted off on vacation.

Meanwhile somewhere in his lair near the field of battle, Qaddafi sits on a heaping pile of gold doubloons surrounded by busty Ukrainian nurses.

I don't know what the end to this weird story will be.  If I were writing the screenplay, in the last scene Barack Obama would beat Qaddafi to death with his Nobel Peace Prize.

Perhaps they could do a cage match a la Thunderdome.  That would provide a pretext for them to each be wearing leather chaps.

Oh my goodness.  If the project could snag Tina Turner, this whole thread would need to be moved to the "Variable Portfolio" and re-titled "Opportunity to Invest in the Best Movie Ever".

The sequel with Kim Jong-il practically writes itself. I do hope that you can find a role for the Ukrainian nurses.
