The More Things Change

Just because a madman gives up his nukes, doesn’t make him any less mad. Here’s the latest from Muammar Gaddafi:
Speaking at the Arab League summit meeting in Algiers, the Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi defended Syria’s role in Lebanon, saying Damascus should be thanked for what he called its sacrifices in Lebanon.
“Syria should be rewarded because it sacrificed for the sake of civil peace in Lebanon,” Gaddafi said at the annual summit of the 22-member Arab League.
And the Soviets restored civil order in Czechoslovakia, too. Some sacrifice.
Stephen, I think old Mo-Mo is afraid the Syrians will target him for assassination. Look at that crater left behind after Hariri was blown up. He was simply addressing a terrorist state with cowardice.
If nothing else, he’s still a great source of comic relief. I look forward to hearing from him in the same way I look forward to hearing from Lyndon LaRouche: you hope that no one’s taking him seriously, and you can’t help but laugh at the puffed up arrogance of their ridiculous statements.
Qaddafi also managed to insult the Palestinians, calling them (and the Israelis too) idiots. Which apparently drew uproarious laughter from the very Arab crowd which included Abbas.
the syrians provided police in lebanon after years of civil war. perhaps that’s what qaddafi was referring to.
funny, it’s also what don cheadle is urging the u.s. to do in sudan in that wall st. journal op-ed, you conscience-bearing human, err, guilty lib’rul.
