Gaddafi: Obama from Arab Descent, a 'Blessing' to Muslim World
by Hana Levi Julian
Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi blessed U.S. President Barack Obama as a “friend” over the weekend in a speech published by the London-based al-Hayat newspaper, labeling him “an African from Arab descent, from Muslim descent.”
Gaddafi's speech was delivered in the city of Sirt at an event marking the 24th anniversary of a U.S. attack on Libya.
Gaddafi was quoted by the Arabic-language newspaper as saying that any dispute between Libya and the United States had since vanished. “Now, ruling America is a black man from our continent,” he explained, “an African from Arab descent, from Muslim descent, and this is something we never imagined – that from Reagan we would get to Barakeh (Arabic for Barack) Obama.” He called Obama's presence in the White House “a major historical gain.”
The Libyan leader went on to say that he personally considered the American president “a friend,” explaining, "He knows he is a son of Africa. Regardless of his African belonging, he is of Arab Sudanese descent, of Muslim descent. He is a man whose policy should be supported, and he should be assisted in implementing it in any way possible, since he is now leaning towards peace.”
Gaddafi also pointed out that regardless of what Arab leaders might say in public for English-language consumption, the truth comes out in private conversation, and in Arabic-language speeches at home.
“The Arabs hate America, there is no doubt. There is not an Arab that loves America,” he admitted, “and even the leaders who the United States considers allies or friends, hate it. The external love is merely hypocrisy or pragmatism.”
Gaddafi blamed “Palestine” for the hatred, saying “The Palestinians today are like the Jews of the past –

Ok then. Since you guys love him so much, we'll send the Marxist right back to ya..in 2013.
Never thought I’d agree with Gaddafi on anything.
So do we.
Wow. One of you enterprising (heh) freepers needs to hurry up and invent warp drive. I’m ready to get the hell off this rock.
lol...uhh, not exactly. The Jews of the past (and present) built things -- they enrich society. The Arabs in the W. Bank and Gaza (and elsewhere), otoh, are purely in the destruction business.
Remember how the Palestinians destroyed all those (formerly productive) greenhouses that the Israelis left to them on one of their pull-outs from the territory? Disgusting, distructive, stupid animals. Actually, even animals wouldn’t do that.
dennisw, I wish you would repost your comments about his Barack’s upbringing and the fact that his mother never returned to live in the United States.
I am grateful Gaddafi has spoken out about “”the African from Arab descent, from Muslim descent,”” “who now RULES America.”
Only 23 or 24 years ago, we shoved a missile into his tent ! Too bad we missed !
Most of us, anyway
yeah, we didn’t imagine it either
If he likes him so much he can have him!
Ping
Yep, that event went through my mind when I posted. The Arabs’ hatred and instinct for destruction overrode even their survival instinct. They don’t think; they just react emotionally.
Yeah, that's the ticket.!!!
He’s 50% Irish-American! How come no one every brag on that? Isn’t Ireland proud?

Even animals don’t **** where they eat. That should tell you something.
