Fairy Dance of the Puppets in Libya

They've called round the wagons in Libya. Wow. Here we have the up close and personal view of a guy, Qadaffi in dashiki v.2 a.k.a the real me  - propped up corrupt as any puppet would safely be with the western billions to spend on matters of state - and here he goes ballistic in real time. UUUUuuuuuf.





And in our This Just In Department:    U.N. rights body recommends suspension of Libya

I cannot help but think of Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan (did you realize that in 2008 the LARGEST natural gas reserve was found there?), Kazakhstan (where I worked on a joint Russian-Chinese energy project), Tadjikistan, Azerbaijan (where I was shot)... like so many puppets. The Central Asia Shuffle perhaps? Sort of like a Fairy Dance of the Puppets version reminiscent of the Christmas Nutcracker Suite, eh? Macabre to say the least. Political embarrassment - just a little. What do you say when the fetid calf eats its own? "You cannibal, you?"



Why I stay tuned is - a good friend and associate is in Libya. Doctor T -- call home. 1 week and 1 day and counting. You have email.
