| Al Qathafi: Arab leaders are fraud | |
| 2003-09-12 | |
| Libya’s Leader of the Revolution Colonel Muammar al Qathafi yesterday called on the Libyans to approve pulling out from the Arab League, considering that the Arab leaders are not committed to the Arab future and that all they do is talk about an Arab union when they have no intention to implement it. "Talk, talk, talk, I might as well listen to Oprah." Al Qathafi addressing women officers said that "Men no longer defend their dignity or their honor and withdrew from the confrontation arena," the official Libyan news agency quoted him saying in a report. "They don’t make men like me anymore! Why, back when I was younger, I spat in the americans eye and....what’s that, did anyone hear a plane, where’s the bomb shelter?" Al Qathafi said that he reached a conclusion that Arabs are not interested in unity or union, nor their future or destiny. He indicated that Arab media never handled the proposals in his keynote speech heralding the 35th year of the great al Fateh Revolution, in which he called for the establishment of an Arab Union, in line with the proposals made by Arab states. "I told them I’d lead them to victory, but did they listen?" Al Qathafi indicated that Arab media ignored this issue and focussed on other trivial issues that do not serve their union or their future. Therefore he "advised the Libyan people to accept withdrawal from the Arab League, as the Arab world is not serious. There is nothing there but fraud and indifference with Arab future." Don’t think he’s gonna get invited to any more parties.

| #9 mhw, I think of them as hesitation marks. I still think Muammar's trying to reform. He just has no idea how to go about it. |

| #8 Mummar's word is gold. He is every bit as reliable as boxing promoter Don King. What he's really saying is, "fie on you for insulting my mustache." |

| #7 Mummar has been making this point for about a year now without actually following through. It seems all he wants to do is talk, talk, talk. If only he had the honor to... |

| #6 Wait! Did I say the Arab League? I meant the UN. Sorry for the confusion, everybody. |

| #5 I agree with Frank. If Quaddaffi was such a good leader he would send out a style guide on how to spell is name. If he is such a great leader of Arab unity why doesn't he step down from power and merge his nation with Algeria or Egypt to help create the rump of a future Arab Union. Oh, but power is power and words are words. |
