Qaddafi the African, ‘Revolutionary’ World View, Security Council of Terror, Semitic Roots, Health Care Plan, JFK at Dallas......

Libya’s Qaddafi spoke today at the UN and he did not disappoint. At least he did not disappoint me. It was what they call a tour de force of world affairs, a rambling speech. He spoke mainly as an African, not an Arab leader. I knew he would deliver the most interesting speech, perhaps the only entertaining speech at the General Assembly. He did not disappoint me, but that does not mean I agree with him. I sort of liked his health care plan proposal; it is probablt better than whatever president Obama may end up with.

“In the name of Africa, in the name of thousands of past African kings, welcomes the election of our son, son of Africa, Barak Obama….But it is only a beginning”
This should drive Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and other chubby rightwing nuts…..crazier. But also provide them with more ammunition for their own rants.

“The former imperialists owe Africa trillions of dollars in compensation for abuse, plunder..….”

“The Security Council is against the Un charter itself....We do not recognize or accept its resolutions.....”

“The Security Council practices terrorism. It is a terrorist body, like al-Qaeda. It should be called the Council of Terrorism.....”

“You, leaders, come here and make speeches, but nobody listens to you. You may do better speaking at Hyde Park (Speakers Corner).....”

“Swine flu vaccine should not be sold to children. Medicine should be free for sick people.....“
This is one thing I agree with him on.

“Capitalists create diseases in their labs, and then they make antidotes and charge money for them...”

“There are many events in history that have not been solved......JFK was against the Israeli nuclear program at Dimona, he wanted to investigate it......He was killed by Oswald, then Jack Ruby was killed.....”
Oliver Stone, eat your heart out.

‘The aggression against other countries, like Grenada, Panama......”

“There should be one state called Israfin to replace Israel and Palestine.....”

"We and the Jews are one people, have the same origins..."

Ahmadinejad will talk this evening. He is definitely not as entertaining. In fact he is not entertaining at all.
