Tripoli, Libya (CNN) -- Libyan ruler Moammar Gadhafi addressed supporters in Tripoli Wednesday amid international criticism of his regime and ongoing unrest in the country.

Gadhafi blamed the problems on former prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, who were released to Libya and then freed by Libyan authorities after they pledged to reform. However, Gadhafi said, they were actually members of al Qaeda sleeper cells.

Is he saying “Bush’s fault”? Has a familiar ring to it.

maybe qadaffai should have offered to “take” a few of those fellow muslim prisoners when Holder et al were scouring the world for rat holes to send them to

I’m sure Qadaffi could have “welcomed” and housed them in true desert bedouin style... on an oasis a thousand miles from anywhere with no camel

Let's if we can summarize:

1. America captured Muslim Jihadists and confined them at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
2. The detainees were released by the Americans to their home country that agreed to take them in.
3. The home country's security people released these detainees as “no threat” to the regime in power.
4. These detainees are now fighting against the Gaddafi regime in Libya and it's America's fault?

What kind of dope is Libya's Fearless Leader using? It must have some great delusional effects.

This from the same guy who demanded the release of one of the terrorists who masterminded the Lockerbie attack. Karma is a bitch, ain't it, Daffy?

When handling a snake, one should expect to get bitten.

Q-daffy is playing with his fellow vipers.
