Excerpt -

Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi arrives in Paris Monday for a high-profile visit set to usher in multi-billion-euro nuclear and aviation contracts, even as critics lashed President Nicolas Sarkozy for welcoming the former pariah.

Staying in a heated Bedouin tent pitched near the Elysee presidential palace, Kadhafi is expected during the five-day visit to approve the purchase of three billion euros (4.4 billion dollars) of Airbus planes, a nuclear reactor and possibly Rafale fighter jets.

So he chooses to sleep in a 7th century Arabic tent ....Carefully heated by today’s (non-7th century, decant-western-culture but more-comfortable-decadent-western-culture)

Tells you a lot about the “real” Muslim world, doesn’t it?

If Qadaffi and Helen Thomas had ever produced a child the Arab world would have had an Islamic bomb long ago...

Reagan is a clear and definite yes ....Gaddafi (or whatever is the latest fashion to spell his name) knew that Reagan was not a person to triffle with. I'd need a bit more convincing on W, but Reagan was a clear and definite 'mess with the Us and get smote' type of person. God bless and rest his soul.

BTW ....Gaddafi really looks messed up in that picture. The attempts to mask his age are really not working too well. He looks waxy, appears like he has a bad case of 'stick up a dark place' based on his facial appearance, and his hair looks really fake (I know that is the hair style he has had for decades, but it really looks like an ill-advised attempt to replicate 1985-Michael Jackson).

Although I wonder if he still has his women bodyguards. Apparently they are all crack shots.

I give W credit based on the fact that in October 2003 we interdicted a shipment of uranium-enrichment components bound for Libya from Germany. Less than 9 months later Qadhafi/Gaddafi made its pledge to dismantle weapons of mass destruction. I Give W the credit.
