Sarkozy, Cameron to Visit Libya Thursday
2011-09-15
[An Nahar] The head of Libya's National Transitional Council confirmed that French President Nicolas Sarkozy
...23rd and current President of the French Republic and ex officio Co-Prince of Andorra. Sarkozy is married to singer-songwriter Carla Bruni, who has a really nice birthday suit...
will be among leaders visiting Tripoli on Thursday.

Mustafa Abdul Jalil confirmed to Agence La Belle France Presse that Sarkozy would visit, and added that "we say to the leaders coming tomorrow that they will be safe."

However,
a lie repeated often enough remains a lie...
the NTC chief made no reference to British Prime Minister David Cameron
... has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite, which means he's not. Since he is not deeply ideological he lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger, but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ...
, who sources said earlier was also due to travel to the Libyan capital on Thursday.

Abdul Jalil was speaking during a visit to Zawiyah, a town some 60 kilometers west of Tripoli.

A Libyan aviation official said that an aircraft carrying VIPs from La Belle France has requested permission to land at 6:00 am (0400 GMT) on Thursday, without elaborating.

Several sources in Gay Paree said earlier that Sarkozy and Cameron were planning to visit Libya on Thursday.

They would be accompanied by Bernard-Henri Levy, the French philosopher who championed Libya's revolution and helped convince Sarkozy to back the rebels, the same sources said.

The trio were expected to meet with NTC leaders in Tripoli, while press reports said they may also travel to Benghazi, the eastern city where the uprising kicked off in February.

Both Cameron's and Sarkozy's offices declined to comment when asked about the trip.
