We all remember Qaddafi….the leader of Libya……hated by Reagan and Bush 1, tolerated by Clinton then embraced by Bush2 and finally killed by Obama…..since his death Libya has been a bloody mess….factions fighting factions, tribes fighting tribes, and ISIS showing its ugly head….I give you this quick historical sketch because Libya will soon be holding a presidential election and there may be a Qaddafi on the ballot…….
The son of late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, Saif al-Islam, is planning to run in the 2018 presidential elections.
Libyan tribal chief Basem al-Hashimi al-Soul confirmed the candidacy of Saif al-Islam on Sunday (17 December)
“Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son of the former Libyan president, enjoys the support of major tribes in Libya so he can run for the upcoming presidential elections due in 2018,” Soul told Egypt Today.

Just a little something to fill the dead air….
Tomorrow is another day and I will be here with more stuff…..chuq
Yikes, the news day must be slow, we’re back on Libya? I just can not see how that entire section of the world will ever be at peace.
I guess it would depend on the definition of peace….I think it can be less turbulent…..chuq
That’s what I thought.
Let’s hope he doesn’t win, or no doubt America will soon be trying to topple him…
Best wishes, Pete.
Yep they will have a hard on especially with Trump as president….chuq
