Libyan Leader Looks to Pitch a Tent in Jersey (Libyan President Moammar Khadafy wants to camp in NJ)

This is one political tent virtually no one wants to be under.

Libyan President Moammar Khadafy will pitch a massive tent in the middle of a quiet New Jersey suburb when he is in town for a UN General Assembly meeting next month, according to The New York Post.

The terrorist-harboring leader -- recently photographed warmly embracing newly released Pan Am Flight 103 bomber Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi -- typically travels with an air-conditioned tent and plans to set up camp on the front lawn of an Englewood, N.J., home that is owned by the Libyan Mission to the UN, the paper reported.

Neighbors in the quiet Jersey suburb are fuming about the move to the Englewood property, which has been owned by the mission since 1983 and used as a weekend home. Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, one-time spiritual adviser to Micahel Jackson, lives next door.

"I think having a terrorist living next door would be devastating, and I'd consider moving," said one resident.

"Why would a head of government come to this small community to live? asked Dr. Peter Scaglione. "He must have an ulterior motive."

The meeting is scheduled to begin Sept. 23.

Khadafy has been forced off property at the United Nations because the area is under construction. He asked to erect a tent in Central Park but the request was rejected, sources told the paper.

Isn’t there some kind of limit on their ability to move about freely in the U.S. if they are part of a UN mission?

I guess he figures none of the families of Lockerbie victims would be calling on him.

Down here in South Jersey during hunting season they find the skeletons of one or two people every year.

The Pine Barrens is a drop off area for every mod in the NE.

Tell him only a sissy air conditions his tent. Tell them we have places called hotels.

If he wants to camp, send him to a campground.

He would only do this crap with obie One as president. He never would have brought it up is W was still in charge.

Maybe one of them can get a good shot at him from a neighbors roof.

Local ordinances don’t apply to diplomatic missions. I know this first hand, I remodeled the Consul General of Spain’s home.

The Libyan mission to the UN owns a home in Englewood....how many UN third-world dictators and their groveling servants own prime property in the Eastern US?

It makes me sick.

Let him sleep on a bench like everyone else.

Clinton erected a tent in Marxists' Vineyard and no one complained.

Sounds like a good potential Tea Bagger target. I wonder if the cops would even allow protesters.

Related post from yesterday.  It's a small world after all - Gaddafi's new neighbor?  Rabbi Schmuley Boteach

My friends tell me that I'm the Jewish Forrest Gump, a man who unexpectedly finds himself in strange and surprising situations. But the place I find myself in now surprises even me. I've just discovered that Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi is going to be my neighbor. Quite literally. In about a month. In New Jersey.

I knew when I moved into our home ten years ago that the property adjoining ours was the residence of the Libyan ambassador to the United Nations. But for many years the large estate was derelict and neglected...

Schmuley should invite a Mossad surveillance team to be his houseguests while Khadaffy Duck is around.
