New Jersey fury at Gaddafi 'stay'
bbc. ^ | 27 August 2009

Officials in the US state of New Jersey have reacted angrily to the possibility that Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi may pitch his tent there next month.

Col Gaddafi is expected to set up his Bedouin-style tent on Libyan Embassy-owned land in the town of Englewood as he attends the UN General Assembly.

The town mayor, state governor and legislators said he was not welcome.

They were angered by the "hero's welcome" home given to Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi last week.

Be nice if there was some explanation for why NO property taxes have been paid for the past 25 years.

Almost exactly 40 years ago, the 27-year-old colonel masterminded a successful revolution that toppled King Idris. The slim young man, with a stylish taste for safari suits and shades, then sought to become the Che Guevara of the age. Col Gaddafi turned Libya into a haven for anti-Western radicals. Any group, no matter how bloodstained or discredited, could receive his guns and cash, provided it claimed to be fighting "imperialism".

TRANSLATION: Leftist democrats (redundancy) are in some trouble and want voters to believe they actually CARE about this thug’s visit. The fact that they helped put a thug in the White House...well, that’s different!

He looks... no he is a bum in a Carnival uniform. Even Michael Jackson was more respect commanding.

You’d think that NJ would welcome one of their own. He hates America almost as much as most of NJ hates America.

We lifted some constraints on Lybia after the Iraq War, no?

Didn't Qaddafi agree to end his own WMD program, etc?

It is on Emperor No Clothes to take action against this leader. We may not be able to prevent him from coming to the UN but we can make it difficult on his country.

Except the Pansy In Cheif doesn't have the mettle. We should have elected Michelle, she's the tough one in the family.
