THE WISDOM OF COLONEL GADDAFI

From Team America: 'Gays, straights, whites, & spades, everyone has AIDS! My grandma & my old dog Blue, the Pope has got it & so do you! Come on everybody we've got quiltin' to do. AIDS, AIDS, AIDS, AIDS...'

The Colonel on AIDS: "AIDS, AIDS, AIDS! We do not understand anything other. It is terrorism. It is psychological warfare. The AIDS is a peaceful virus. If you remain clean, there does not have a problem." Again: "If you are straight, you have nothing to fear from AIDS." (AIDS is leading cause of death among South African women, few none of whom are infected via lesbian sex.)

Told leaders of African Union they should not 'worry about tsetse flies and mosquitoes' [carriers of malaria & sleeping sickness], saying they were 'God's armies' protecting Africa from its enemies, ie, foreigners: "If they come here, they will get malaria & sleeping sickness."

Invented world's safest car, the Rocket, rocket-shaped 5 passenger vehicle which features "air bags that deploy all around the interior in an accident, a collapsible bumper & a system of anti-roll rocker panels."

The Colonel on the UN: Wants Libya to have permanent seat on UN Security Council. Says authority to wage war should be transferred to General Assembly. Wants UN to support Committee of Wise Men to settle world's tiffs, comprised of Bill Clinton, Mikhail Gorbachev, & Nelson Mandela

The Colonel calls for establishment of Israteen, not Jewish teenybopper mag but single nation comprised of Israel, West Bank, & Gaza. In Cairo speech, criticized Arabs for being gullible dupes:

"We have believed the US & then we saw Congress calling for the partition of Saudi Arabia into cantons, controlling it & closing of mosques & religious schools, & also talking about its role & the Wahabi movement" in so-called terrorism.

The Colonel only Arab leader to support Kurdish nationalism: "Kurds are an oppressed nation & their homeland is occupied. It is a legitimate right to establish an independent Kurdish state." (2002)

Awarded Moammar Gaddafi human rights award to Hugo Chavez. Previous winners: Fidel Castro & Nelson Mandela. Chavez: "I feel bathed in honor."

From moonbat analysis of the Colonel's collected ramblings, The Green Book:

"Gaddafi sees representative democracy as necessarily demagogic & fraudulent, as it encourages the development of a party system in which the people are broken up into interest groups which compete one against the other, undoing whatever constructive work may have been done, to the detriment of the nation as a whole. The relevance of this critique is obvious to the contemporary world."

Exactly! So much more progressive to do away with those oppressive political parties, & replace them with a totalitarian dictatorship!

UPDATE: Michael Totten inexplicably went on a luxury tour of Libya. Guess he couldn't get tix for Mordor. But his photoessay is the bomb! (Via Commonplace Commonsense)
