Gaddafi offers help over riots
2005-11-05
LIBYAN leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi called French President Jacques Chirac overnight to express his concern about rioting in Paris suburbs and other parts of France.
"Bring out the FemBots!"
The Libyan national news agency reported that Mr Chirac thanked Colonel Gaddafi for his interest and reassured him that the situation was under control.
"All is wellllll!"
Colonel Gaddafi was reported saying Libya was "disposed to help France overcome these events," which he described as "regrettable."
One thing about old Muammar, he's not afraid to thump a few turbans...
The report did not outline what kind of aid might have been forthcoming. French authorities have stepped up police action against youths responsible for more than a week of urban riots, in which hundreds of vehicles were set alight, as suspicions grew that gangs were becoming increasingly organised.

#5  It is impossible to describe the array of military decorations worn by Gadaffy Duck with any better term than "fruit salad."

As to this monster raving wingnut being of any help in Paris.

A responding brigade of fire trucks filled with gasoline would do less damage.

Did Kofi suggest this gem of an idea?

#4  I'd be wearing dark glasses too. With all those shiny objects and the intense sunlight, cornea damage is a real danger. That gold thing in the middle, is that some sort of Mexican Aztec Joint Service medal?

#2  Wow, look at all those medals. He is obviously a great warrior and general. Alexander the Great probably didn't have many famous battlefied victories as this guy. And heck, he's only a Colonel! WTF is up with that? So brave, so handsome and photogenic, he even has the Mussolini lower-lip-boner down pat.

#1  I'm sure his intentions were honorable. Just like when he paid $25 million ransom to the ASG to free some french and german hostages on Jolo. The ASG were only asking a few hundred thousand total but good old Gaddafi wanted to make it happen fast. Thus he funded ASG operations for the next three years. I'm certain he could infuse a sizeable ammout of funds into the area and make a bad situation worse.
