Gaddafi warns 'arrogant' Iran of Iraq fate
Al Arabiya ^ | 05 August 2008 | Staff

Libyan leader Muamar Gaddafi on Tuesday warned "arrogant" Iran that it faces military humiliation on the scale of Iraq for its refusal to respond to western powers over a nuclear impasse.

"What Iran is doing stems simply from arrogance," Gaddafi said during a visit to Tunisia after Tehran ignored another western deadline to accept an incentives package in exchange for full transparency on its nuclear drive.

"In the event of a decision against Iran, this country will suffer the same outcome as Iraq... Iran is not any stronger than Iraq and won't have the means to resist (a military attack) on its own," Gaddafi said.

"The challenges are greater and exceed Iran's ability to reply," he added, speaking on the third day of his visit.

Negotiators from Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States -- who suspect Iran is seeking to build nuclear weapons capability -- have scheduled a conference call for Wednesday as the crisis deepens.

Like Iran and Iraq before it, Libya was for years pressured by the west over its nuclear and chemical weapons ambitions and capabilities before finding common ground in 2003.

Tehran has steadfastly refused to suspend its uranium enrichment activities, which it says are aimed only at producing fuel for nuclear power production.

The United States and its allies fear the program is a cover for developing nuclear weapons.

The world should kiss GWB’s butt for shaking down Libya’s WMD program, yet it goes unmentioned.

But ol’Gaddafi knows not to screw with GWB!

Eddie Haskell was Wally Cleaver’s butt kissing buddy. He killed Ward and June’s butt in front of their face then was in the thick of trouble when no adults were around.

Actually, we are making him look like a fool.

After 9/11 he started behaving and gave up his nuclear program because it appears that the US was actually going to do something about such rogue nations.

Since then Iran and North Korea have proved him wrong, and that Iraq was apparently a one time thing rather than a new policy.

The world would be a much safer place if we would make Iran a second example to such rogue nations.

Why should Libya like Iran?
They are thousands of miles away
Libyans are mostly Berber,,,,not all Arab by any means
Libyans are Sunni
Iran is Shiite wackos

Only thing they have in comon is Muhammed, who Ram Bam called Ha Meshugga (Andrew Bostom)http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&hl=en-GB&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GZEZ_en-GBUS285US285&q=%22Ha+Meshugga%22

Mad Mo sure looks "tor up". Too many magic mushrooms in the desert. But I was amazed that he was smart enough to see the writing on the wall during the liberation of Iraq, and changed his evil ways....

Kadaffy Duck? He's a kook, he's a loon and he had a great time all the way up to the point where Reagan sent in the F-111s. He became curiously quieter after that.

Then he saw Saddam pulled out of the spider hole with fleas in his beard... and you can bet he saw the tape of Saddam swinging.

As weird as he is, he's not totally stupid. Witness his decision to give up his WMDs.

The Mediterranean Fruitcake is in no hurry to collect his 72 virgins. That's a man who plans to die in bed of old age.
