No suprise here.

Nope. But he'll be surprised if he tried to get at his money should he want it. THe world's changed; dictators can't just fly to where there secret bank accounts are anymore and live the good life.

Dictators in 3rd world countries in cahoots with western and eastern governments to secure resources in their home countries (BP and Total) is a phenomenon that is coming to an abrupt end.

I get much of my news from European news sources (Russia and Britain primarily) and the number 1 concern in Europe is refugees, and right up there is oil security. The Russians are laughing but everywhere else it's fear and panic. Especially Italy, France, and Malta. The French are seeing their Mediterranean strategy collapse and their energy security vanish right before their eyes.

Gaddafi had his money in London because he was allowed to. I'm glad unpatriotic dictators are being exposed and overthrown.

I hope he remembers the twenty he owes me.

The only debt he owes is the debt it blood he owes the people of Libya. A debt that will soon be collected it seems.

Maybe a slight interruption or diminution. Doubt it will be the end of it. Where do the Saudis keep their money? Karzai and co?
