A fictional conversation between international heavy weapons dealer and former Republican Congressman from PA’s 7th Congressional District Kurt Weldon and his old buddy Moammar Gadhafi:
Conversation at Moammar’s place in Libya:
“Moamy baby, us Republicans are shutting down the US Government and the guys flying the F-16s that busted up my, I mean your, tanks won’t bother you for a while.
Meanwhile, I’ll cut you a deal on more of my Defense Solutions BTR-80 Armored Personnel Carriers and T-72 Main Battle Tanks to replace the ones F-16 jockeys busted up. I’ll throw in some MT-LB Personnel Carriers, BMP-1/2 Infantry Vehicles, and Self Propelled Howitzers to round out the deal.
Then at the same time you throw out some kind of olive branch to the treasonous bunch of criminals that went against you.
Just be sure to tell Barack and Hillary you won’t use my stuff on Libyans just the al-Qaeda guys, wink, wink. Us Republicans know who our real friends are.
When you get things calmed down in Libya and the oil starts flowing again I might have some more T-72 for you.”

ReplyDeleteWhat is this all about? A few years ago, a US company broker the weapons to the Libyan government? The weapons Gaddafi's troops are now using to kill civilians? And we are supporting the rebels?
