International Jerusalem Post ^ | Dec 17, 2004 | Jerusalem Post Staff

Libya's Col. Muammar Gaddafi has complained that the US and the rest of the international community have failed to "reward" him appropriately for giving up his weapons of mass destruction programs, and says that this failure is deterring countries like Iran and North Korea from following his example.

The colonel argues that his decision to "withdraw" from WMD programs was a critical factor in US President George W. Bush's reelection. "We know that with this withdrawal we contributed by 50 percent to his electoral campaign – a winning hand," the colonel says.

..."we contributed by 50 percent to his electoral campaign – a winning hand..."

This surely will answer the burning question still uppermost in the mind of Dems: “How in HELL did we lose to that &*%#!^ ?”

To answer Gaddafi’s complaint about the lack of recompense, I pose to him the following question(s):

Isn’t the ability to sleep in your own bed and not a spider hole reward enough? No? Well, how about a lifetime supply of anti-psychotic medication, then?

I'd say that not having your ass handed to you by an Air Force fighter squandron and some Marines is a pretty sweet reward.

Khadaffi has some brand-new oil contracts with US business. Does N Kor have anything to sell that anybody needs? Iran?

Hmmm, Under the Bill of Rights don't I have the right to arm myself? I have decided that I am not going to pursue a nuclear option for the defense of my home and personal property. I want my reward too!!!!

I think 5 mil. will keep me satisfied for a couple of years. After which I reserve the right to extort err.. blackmail err... exercise my rights all over again, yeah that's it!

I think we ought to establish strong trade relations, end any and all embargoes, and do every thing we can to treat Libya better than France, Germany, appeasenik South Korea, or commie China.

Oh come on, Gaddafi deserves something. Maybe Bea Arthur could send him a few of her outfits she used to wear on "Maude". He seems to like dressing like her.

The problem for you is that you don't have France in your corner. Convince some of the Euro-weenies that you need them to pressure the U.S. to give in to you, placate you, never take military action against you, and you're golden!

Being allowed to remain the leader of your country after ordering the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 and thus the murder of 370 innocent people—that's your (manifestly undeserved) reward, sand maggot.
