President Muammar Gadafy yesterday embarrassed his latest high-profile western visitor, the German chancellor Gerhard Schröder, by demanding compensation for thousands of landmines left in the Libyan desert during the second world war. During talks in Tripoli, Mr Gadafy complained that dozens of Libyans were still being injured and killed by the anti-tank mines, which were buried by Erwin Rommel and his retreating army more than 60 years ago.

Yep, I agree. This tinhorn is at least some of the time on our side again. The German's seemingly never are on our side yet again my I remind you. The Germans are rich, they can and should pay for what they did to poor Lybia!
I agree with him! The Third Reich should send this POS SOB a check immediately!
Yesterday, however, German officials confirmed that the notoriously unpredictable Libyan leader had suggested over an impromptu three-hour banquet that Germany should pay compensation. Libyans were still dying from mines left by the Germany army, he said.
I think Kadaffi has lost whatever mind he had.
Reparations, reparations why not seems like a valid claim to me!
notoriously unpredictable!
Something perversely humorous about this.
Seems reasonable to me. The Germans ought to pay to clean up the mess they left.
And while you're at it, Daffy, how are you going to pay back 259 lives (plus 11 on the ground from Pan Am 103?? Blood money does not cut it for me. One a terrorist, always a terrorist. Rot in hell.
Agreed. I am sickened by the thought of Schroeder and Kadaffy doing business. I guess Osama, Jaques, Yasser, Fidel, Kim mentally Il and the others didn't make it to the party.
Germany's Fair Game on this. At the least they could send some soldiers with whatever technology necessary to dig up or deactivate those mines.
DIdn't the UN have a fund for this?
I remember Diana having something to do with it.
The Germans don't seem to have gotten passed the Hitler regime. Why not make them continue to pay for it.
If they supported Saddam they have not changed.
Yet within a few years, almost all of it was cleared up and life got back to normal.
Why could not the Libyans do the same? Why have the Libyans been sitting around for the past 60+ year waiting for somebody else to come clean up their mess for them? Why Libya? What is so special about Libya?
While I may get satisfaction in watching Schroeder and 'Daffy air some of their dirty laundry in public, I would not lift a finger to support a terrorist mass murderer like 'Daffy. The article states allied forces laid mines there too... is he to hold them accountable next? Let him rot in hell.
I dunno. This, somehow, must be the fault of the US.
We need to I.D. just one of those Sand Nazi dictators....
Kick his ass and take all the gas.
Then simply stare down the rest to get their asses in line..
The "White Hat" only means something, after being shown the "Black Hat"...
Actually, I just want to see at least one of those tin pot murdering sheetheaded SOBs to get their ass kicked just for drill and profit...
Those bastards were drawing first blood for DECADES, while our fomer pissant Presidents refused to respond.
Our economy has taken a beating due to those Islamanazis, and we need to take it out of THEIR hides...
