RHP has players from all the world's hot spots - Iraq, Afghanistan, Ivory Coast, etc. except for Libya. Maybe now that Qdaffyduck is gone, we will get someone.

When they arrive, I hope one of them remembers to bring a flag.

Yes, I am sure that a government, policing, food, clean water, power and fuel will all come right after they register here.

I think Miller was making a joke about the lack of a flag here at RHP for the country of Libya.

I hope not. Don't they have a flag of their own?

That is correct. There is none for them in our flag index, which I had not even noticed until this thread was started. And the only reason I know that is I was trying to check and see if there were any Libyan players already here.

I guess some folks need to make every comment into some sort of political dig.

I did the same check myself, otherwise I may not have been privy to your joke. 😉

Doesn't the transitional government have its own new flag? Maybe Russ's gnomes are busy redesigning.

It was inappropriate to show images and videos of Bin Laden yet it's okay to post Gaddafi all over the tabloid front pages?

Not making sense really is it?

I think they learned their lesson when they didn't make public any Bin Laden death pics.

The Transitional National Council (as it's officially called - it isn't exactly a government yet) do have their own flag, which is also the old, pre-Khaddafy, national flag, and which has been all over the news during the last couple of months. It's a horizontal tricolour of red, black and green, with a white Muslim moon-and-star in the centre of the black stripe.
