Wild man Gaddafi provokes Italy on first visit to Rome in 40 years
Richard Owen, Rome
Colonel Gaddafi has arrived in Rome at the start of an historic visit to Libya's former colonial masters with an archive photograph provocatively pinned to his chest showing the arrest of an anti-Italy guerilla fighter dubbed "The Lion of the Desert".
The photograph shows the arrest in 1931 by colonial Italian troops of the Libyan guerilla leader Omar al Mukhtar. Al Mukhtar's frail elderly son, who descended the aircraft steps with difficulty just behind Gaddafi in traditional white Arab robes, is part of the 300-strong delegation accompanying the Libyan leader. A Libyan financed 1980s feature film on the anti colonial struggle, The Lion of the Desert, was recently broadcast on Italian television for the first time.

Gaddafi got a phone call from Michael Savage.
He wanted his facial hair back.

Talk about holding a grudge! But maybe the President of Italy should show up at the state dinner with pictures of Lockerbie and an old Libyan-sponsored slaughter at Fiumicino International airport.No Worries.
Berlusconi doesn't need to get even that way
He is currently banging seven of Kha-Daffy-Duck's grandaughters; he'll have the last laugh.

What’s really sad is that Libya-Cyrene was once one of the hubs of the Roman Empire and was an intrinsic part of the Mediterranean world and civilisation. It was civilised. Then the Moos under Mo came and ruined everything and North Africa’s been a pit since then. However, it seems that in Morocco recently, the Imazighen (Berbers to you and me) are rebelling against forced Arabization and really that slam is nothing more thananArab supremicist cult

Both Chris Matthews and Momar Qaddafi are in love with Barack Obama. During the 2008 scampaign, Qaddafi told the people of his nation that Obama is a muslim. The media spin was that it was only detractors of Obama who made this claim.

"Both Chris Matthews and Momar Qaddafi are in love with Barack Obama. During the 2008 scampaign, Qaddafi told the people of his nation that Obama is a muslim. The media spin was that it was only detractors of Obama who made this claim." That makes Qaddafi, and the Democrat Party run propaganda operation known as MSNBC, an even better match! Chrissy and Qaddafi will both be able to compare their respective leg tingles when thinking about Obama.

"But maybe the President of Italy should show up at the state dinner with pictures of Lockerbie " "Mr Berlusconi, who paved the way for the visit by travelling to Libya last year to apologise for the colonial period and offer three billion pounds in compensation"
I think Gaddafi paid about $3 billion for Lockerbie.
