CAIRO, Egypt -- Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi expressed regret Sunday that Ronald Reagan died without standing trial for 1986 airstrikes on his country, while other Arabs used the occasion of the former president's death to lambast his Mideast policies. Gadhafi said he was sorry that Reagan died Saturday before he could stand trial for deadly 1986 airstrikes he ordered that killed Gadhafi's adopted daughter and 36 other people.

Reagan ordered the April 15, 1986, air raid in response to a disco bombing in Berlin allegedly called for by Gadhafi that killed two U.S. soldiers and a Turkish woman and wounded 229 people.

"I express my deep regret because Reagan died before facing justice for his ugly crime that he committed in 1986 against the Libyan children," Libya's official JANA news agency quoted Gadhafi as saying.

...killed Gadhafi's adopted daughter

Ah, that's right... the 'adopted daughter' who was adopted shortly AFTER the raid, about whom nothing was known BEFORE the raid as kaddaffy never thought to mention her. The one whose age changed every time reporters inquired.

The raghead should be on his knees giving thanks to Trinity that the bombers missed his miserable hide. For those who might criticize President Reagan for taking a poke at Gahdoofy; note that he waited until R.R. passed away before he dared to chirp. A lesson learned, I think.

he should thank R.R. for giving him the opportunity to learn how to live in the deserts of libiya in camel compounds for all those years that the world did not hear from him after we accidentaly droped some luggage on his home.

I'm just very sorry that Mr. Kadaffy Duck apparently ducked during that air raid.

This could be good politics. Putting all on Reagan rather than the U.S. would allow him to move ahead without losing face. Time, as they say, will tell.

Typical whining terrorist POS, blowing up innocent travelers in airports, on airplanes & in nightclubs & then bitching about the retribution.

Shaddup you camel humping kook or we'll bust out the F111's for a repeat performance.
