Now you could translate that into "$$$$$$" as the final answer and thus why in the big scheme of things this is correct.

I was just cutting to the chase as the $$$$$$ being the core purpose. Of course the $$$$$ equates to political power as well. Sometimes it's hard to tell which is the horse and which is the cart.

Solution to the problem in Libya:
They want a new Muslim leader, I say, give them ours.
Solves 2 problems.

The "birther" in the cartoon spoke partial truth...he MAY have a BC from Hawaii, but no one has seen it.

$$$$$$$$

So whether we cut it Wk's way or slice it yours, it's not so much a matter of legality at all. Just one more way the president and congress ignore the Constitution and do whatever they want. Ane we a left wanting an illusion of trust. So as I said before, what difference does it make.

They are both ridiculous paranoid accusations.

I never cared about it much before, but Donald makes sense.....why doesn't he just show the birth certificate and all this ridiculousness will go away.

A better question is why won't he open up ALL of his sealed records ?

According to the current gov. in Hi, the only thing found was a notation in the state records .
I suggest one look carefully at the COLB that has been released; in the lower left side " Date filed by Registrar " .
Not " Accepted by Registrar " as an official document normally shows.

So then I can count on you to join me in Novemeber and instead of going to the polls, you take that time and do something vastly more productive with it!

Treasury Identifies 14 Companies Owned by Libya’s National Oil Corporation as Subject to Sanctions

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) today identified 14 companies owned by Libya’s National Oil Corporation, as subject to sanctions pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13566.

The National Oil Corporation is the centerpiece of Libya’s state-owned oil apparatus, and controls a network of companies involved in oil exploration, production, and sale. E.O. 13566 blocks all property and interests in property of the Government of Libya and its agencies, instrumentalities and controlled entities within U.S. jurisdiction, whether specifically identified by OFAC or not. U.S. persons are prohibited from engaging in business with any Libyan state-owned entity. Today’s identifications are intended to aid financial institutions in meeting their obligations under E.O. 13566.

“The Libyan National Oil Corporation has been a primary funding source for the Qadhafi regime,” said OFAC Director Adam J. Szubin. “Consistent with UN Security Council Resolution 1973, all governments should block the National Oil Corporation's assets and ensure that Qadhafi cannot use this network of companies to support his activities.”

Treasury will continue monitoring the National Oil Corporation’s operations in Libya. Should National Oil Corporation subsidiaries or facilities come under different ownership and control, Treasury may consider authorizing dealings with such entities.





OFAC identified the following as companies owned by of Libya’s National Oil Corporation:

1. Arabian Gulf Oil Company
2. Azzawiya Oil Refining Company
3. Brega Petroleum Marketing Company
4. Harouge Oil Operations
5. Jamahiriya Oil Well Fluids And Equipment
6. Mediterranean Oil Services Company
7. Mediterranean Oil Services GMBH
8. National Oil Fields and Terminals Catering Company
9. North African Geophysical Exploration Company
10. National Oil Wells Drilling and Workover Company
11. Ras Lanuf Oil And Gas Processing Company
12. Sirte Oil Company for Production Manufacturing of Oil and Gas
13. Zueitina Oil Company
14. Waha Oil Company
    

Something about the statement:
"Treasury will continue monitoring the National Oil Corporation’s operations in Libya. Should National Oil Corporation subsidiaries or facilities come under different ownership and control, Treasury may consider authorizing dealings with such entities."
that just makes me pause with a long Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Why do you think it is ridiculous? What makes it paranoid?

Well I have preferences on which illusions are put forth.

And they told me you didn't like LSD but I told them it all depended on the form it took. See I was right!

I would start with, "because he wasn't born here means he will do something evil to us!" "He's a secret muslim sooooo....."

When I look at what all the evil that was done to us by Presidents who were born here..........
