After receiving his first invite to a Western country in 34 years, Libyan leader Col. Muammar al-Qaddafi was clearly out to make a good first impression.
He arrived with a 400-person entourage for a five-day official visit to Paris last week on no fewer than five planes and a fleet of armor-plated limos. Despite being booked into the luxurious, five-star Hotel de Marigny, he preferred to pitch his own heated Bedouin style tent that he brought with him in the gardens. As a final touch, he also brought a Saharan camel to greet visitors in desert tradition. This week, he was in Madrid as a guest of the Spanish government.
But much like a popular music icon, no entourage is complete without the right women. For Qaddafi, that means a menacing group of 30 female body guards. Easily mistaken as hopefuls for “America’s Next Model,” his unit of gorgeous, gun-toting women are actually trained killers. The bodyguards, who are also reputedly virgins, made their Parisian debut in stylish blue camouflage fatigues.
Qaddafi’s elite female corps mark him as controversial an Islamic figure as he is in the West because these women directly challenge the role of women in Islamic society.
Weapons training, the right to carry weapons, the right to use weapons and entrusting women with the physical protection of the head of state are all pretty revolutionary moves for an Islamic country.
Qaddafi’s female bodyguards provocatively dress in Western fatigues, heavy black boots and shades instead of the veil and head-to-toe black chador that is traditional dress for Muslim women.

Where did the blong with the pug nose come from?
She doesn’t look Lybian to me?
"The Arabs are completely useless...." Qaddafi declared, "We will not be finished together with them. We will be, ultimately, in our African nation and on the African continent...by means of which we will become stronger, like the American continent and the European continent. The Arabs have written a mark of disgrace in history that they will never be able to eradicate. They watch what is happening in Iraq and in Palestine from the sidelines. They are finished. They have no honor and they have no blood. There is no longer any Arab blood or pan-Arab blood, Arab unity, Arab manliness, Arab femininity. There is nothing. The situation has gotten so bad that the women are the ones who take the initiative. Today was the most dangerous "fedaii" [terror] operation in so-called Israel - and it was carried out by a young Palestinian woman, not by a man." The Libyan leader repeated, "The Arabs are completely useless. We must not waste time. The Arabs are through. Tomorrow, Asia will es tablish great unions and Africa is already united - and where are you, Arab?"
Momar sure sounds like some mightly conflicted bizarro. Not Arab enough to be Arab, not Muslim enough to be on par with the islamoweirdos, too white to be really African and at one time terrorist foe of the US and now “officialy” an “ally”. Oh and the latter while he built a statue for Saddam in 2007.
I would hope if he ever came here he would arrested immediately.
Playing to his fans like an old rock idol, the recently redeemed colonel has revelled in provocation, insulting his hosts, snarling up traffic and indulging his whims. The last of these was a spot of pheasant shooting at Versailles. “His excellency is a great admirer of King Louis XVI”, the last regal resident of the palace, said an aide. The Supreme Guide of the Revolution, who was initially invited for two days, first asked to go foxhunting at Fontainebleau...
HE'S NUTS!
He’s smart enough to figure out who can kick the crap out of who. Just staying alive and in power while pissing off the Russians, the Americans AND the Arabs is a rather remarkable feat.
Thanks, you just made me shoot soda out my nose!
LOL.
Even more so...
That has to be one of the best posts I have read...
That should really endear him to the Wahhabists. /s
I don't know about that. If that's him in the picture in Post 12, he looks like a lounge lizard to me.
Wonder if ol’ Mo-mar is a Wheel of Time fan - he thinks he’s the Dragon Reborn....
Forgive me, but I think he looks a bit like the former Redskins’ great running back, John Riggins.
Downed allied flyer in the Lebensborn prison of love?
You’ll never get the secret bombsight details out of me....
Well, maybe....
