Offensive Muhammad movie may have been a cover for a planned attack against US consulate

Right after the poorly shot, poorly pieced-together “Muhammad Movie” hit the web a few days ago, some people quickly began to piece together things that didn’t make sense. The supposed writer/director was a person who didn’t exist, the overdubbing was incorrect, the film looks like it was hastily put together from pieces of other movies, etc. And now, US officials think that the inflammatory film was put together to incite a riot to cover up a well-planned attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

The fall of Gaddafi in Libya is directly related to the rise of desert locusts

In a “Mussolini made the trains run on time” sort of story, one of the unexpected consequences of the fall of Muammar Gaddafi in Libya is the rise of desert locusts. Gaddafi was an asshole, but he was really good about keeping desert locusts at bay. Now that Libya is in a complicated transition period, the locusts have returned.

Artist’s interpretation of one of the many outfits Gadhaffi probably had prepared for Dr. Rice.

When Muammar Gadhaffi was chased out of his mansion by rebel soldiers, the world was surprised and amused to find that he had a huge scrapbook full of pictures of former US Secretary of State Condi Rice, whom he apparently had a huge hard-on for.

Rolling Stone takes a look inside Obama’s decision to get involved in Libya

“You know I’m gonna fuck your shit up soon, right?”

The Libyan revolution was something— I guess I can use past tense now— that in the US, could be easily skewed to whatever point you were trying to make. In the beginning, the right called it “Obama’s war” and tried to play up the US role as a negative, but now try to downplay American intervention. On the left, the reactions were just the opposite. Undoubtedly, the lion’s share of credit goes to the strong and brave Libyan people, but the rebellion would have been crushed if it weren’t for the support of France and America, just as America would have lost its own revolution if it weren’t for the support of the French.

While many people would have liked to have helped the rebels in Libya to overthrow Gaddafi, but actually going there isn’t realistic. But Chris Jeon, a 21 year old college student from Los Angeles was all like “fuck it” and snuck into Libya via Egypt, even though he didn’t know a word of Arabic.

Gaddafi’s loose weapons could be a thousand times the size of Saddam’s

After the fall of Saddam Hussein, one of the biggest challenges facing Allied forces was securing the huge amounts of loose weapons from Saddam Hussein’s personal armories and those of the Iraqi military.

Muammar Gadhaffi’s Condi Rice porn stash discovered in his house

And by “porn stash”, I don’t mean there were naked pictures of former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, but Gaddhaffi did have quite a personal collection of photos of her, all bound in a large photo album. And it’s not like a dossier, it’s more like a teenage scrapbook of a favorite pop star. The State Department calls it “deeply bizarre and deeply creepy.”
