Qadaffi, UN presidency in hand, calls for Switzerland to be abolished

Geneva, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - Relations between Switzerland and Libya remain strained, with Libyan leader Muammar Qadaffi repeating a call he made at the G8 summit in Italy in July 2009, for Switzerland to be considered a non-country and its linguistic districts to be shared among its neighbours. The rhetoric itself has ruffled few feathers, given Qadaffi’s widespread reputation for stepping outside the usual boundaries of diplomatic talk, but Libya’s upcoming turn as president of the United Nations General Assembly, which opens its new session 15 September, gives him a platform.

It will be the first time he has joined a General Assembly since coming to power 40 years ago, according to Swiss television TSR.

Colonel Clown!

[PittsburghAfterDark]

After 40 years you’d think he’d make general.

This is the Onion right? The Swiss have been tunneling in those mountains for the better part of a century. And who is going to dig them out the French and the Italians? I'm not seeing a whole lot of military risk there. Although the over under on who surrenders first should make Las Vegas happy.

Strange how quiet this ass was after Ronald Reagan tried to kill him. Perhaps just a coincidence, huh?!

This turkey is a certified fruit cake. I imagine his ears are still ringing from the near miss booms while camping out in 1986.

“Shoot twice and go home.”

[The KG9 Kid]

I challenge Qadaffi to send his entire Libyan army to drive the Swiss from the Alps.

Not a one of them would die even within sight of a cuckoo clock.

[mountn man]

Sounds sorta like someone from the US (or Kenya)

"I imagine his ears are still ringing from the near miss booms while camping out in 1986."

He doesn't need his ears, he has the ears of the current apologist & chief.

Dont screw with the Swiss.

They can drop you with a rifle from 200 yards blindfolded, while being able to tell that your watch is 20 seconds off by the way you hit the ground.

[jazusamo]

Yep, as does the rest of the radical Muslims in the world.

[livius]

This probably explains why Obama, who is going to preside over the Security Council session in September, was involved with the release of the Libyan terrorist.

[nufsed]

He can’t promote himself, it would be nepotism.

I think that to the general mideast Islamic world, what exists outside their area has a certain unreality. Whether it is due to the historic embarrassment from failure to conquer Europe over a 500 year period or that Israel has existed for 60 years in spite of multiple combined attacks, their views sometime skew history. I wonder how Kadaffi (how many ways are there to spell this loon’s name) feels about Spain, Malta, Greece and other former Islamic controlled territories.

Kadaffi (how many ways are there to spell this loon’s name)

How many combinations are possible when you start with "K", "Q" or "G", all of them either with or without "h", and use either double or single "d" and "f" and finish with either "i" or "y"? Do the math. LOL.

[a fool in paradise]

Oliver Stoned runs Libya now?

[edcoil]

I think the bigger issue here is that the USA must get out of the UN.

[a fool in paradise]

He pledged to behave after we took out Saddam too. Promised to drop his WMD program.
