"The present troubles Dick were caused by Gaddafi ordering his soldiers to shoot unarmed civilian protesters and when some of them refused Gaddafi brought in foreign mercenaries from Mali, Chad and Ghana to shoot them"

Now Mr T.... that is so unlike you. You have absolutely no way of verifying that statement.
How do you know that the Col personally ordered the shooting of civilians.....Did Mrs Thatcher personally order the shooting of civilians in Derry?.....I doubt it!

You have no wat of knowing whether or not the Col brought in mercenaries to "shoot civilians".....A captured govt soldier this week told the insurgents that he had seen no mercenaries.

He may have recruited soldiers to bolster troops.
The insurgents CERTAINLY HAVE.....British, Spanish, American, French,
complete with a huge armoury of very offensive weapons
