Undaunted by the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity a defiant Muammar al-Gaddafi on Friday threatened to take the war to Europe.
The strongman from Libya warned that he will attack homes, offices and families unless NATO halts its airstrikes. Gaddafi delivered his threat via a phone message played to thousands of supporters gathered in the Green Square in Tripoli.
Previously Gaddafi sponsored terrorist groups and has been implicated in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.
He called on his supporters to march on the strongholds of Libyan rebel and to take the arms given to them by the French.

"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
A gunmen opened fire over there also killing a few people, they believe it was linked.
"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot."
Question is...Did Obama and NATO’s decision to bomb the sh*t out of Libya make the world a safer place? I guess we should as the Norwegians.
But of course our bombing and killing of civilians are not create more terrorist like Bush did.
Norway is involved with the Libya mission although they were going to withdraw August 1st, my guess this is retaliation for being involved in this operation.

UPDATE 5:22 p.m.: Police say the gunman is a Norwegian.
Witnesses described the suspect as "blond" and "Nordic-looking." Late Friday, Knut Storberegt, Norway's royal minister of justice and the police, confirmed that he is a Norwegian; the BBC, citing police, said he was from Utoya. Police said he is also believed to have been involved in the bombing that killed seven people earlier in the day in Oslo, about 25 miles away.
The Right Wingers on this board were all set to blame A Muslim Terrorist for the Norway Killings... But Instead, The Bomber May Be A RIGHT WINGER TERRORIST!

The alleged shooter in the Norway attacks has been identified as a Norwegian national.
Norwegian "TV2" reports that he belongs to "right-wing circles" in Oslo. According to "Expressen", he has been known to write on 'RIGHT WING' forums in Norway, a self-described nationalist, and has written several posts critical of Islam. On his facebook account, he describes himself as having Christian, conservative views. (HUH! Sounds just like one of our own local Right Wingers!)

There's a big difference between disagreeing with someone over values and going out and killing those who disagree with your point of view. That guy is mentally ill because no person in their right mind could do what he did to those innocent people.
