WASHINGTON, March 2 (Reuters) - One of Washington's biggest concerns is that Libya will slide into chaos and become a haven for al Qaeda much like Somalia though it does not now expect that, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday.

"One of our biggest concerns is Libya descending into chaos and becoming a giant Somalia. It's right now not something that we see in the offing but many of the al Qaeda activists in Afghanistan and later in Iraq came from Libya and came from eastern Libya, which is now the so-called free area of Libya," Clinton told U.S. lawmakers said.

It won't. Nobody on earth is as stupid, or can stoop so low as the Zoo-Malians

If Gadafi is ousted then may the Lybian suffer a worser faith than that of Somalia, iraq and afghanistan combined.

These rebels are are some clowns. America stationing its ships close to libya. I guess Libya will be much easier to invade than Iraq.
