So he used money from Libya to get elected and then later he bombed them?

More like bombed Gaddafi and guaranteed his downfall than bombed "Libya". It is probably a bit more complicated than that, though. The U.S./NATO were also involved and there is a lot of money there.

He probably thought he could get away with it. But make no mistake this is a political play and everyone involved is as dirty as the Paris Seine.

Hey! The Seine isn't dirty as this guy.

Maybe the Seine was heavily covered as dirty by the media but remember that you shouldn't swim in the San Francisco bay either. Wait for the next JO to hear about water quality problem with the LA beach area under rain.
