GADDAFI'S AMAZONIAN GUARD
6/12/98: "A female bodyguard sacrificed her life to save Colonel Gaddafi from assassination. The beautiful security girl was one of a 40-strong, all-woman unit of personal guards who are trained killers & also claim to be virgins.
"She threw herself on top of the Libyan leader when rebelsd fire on his motorcade, & died riddled with bullets. Seven other women bodyguards were also seriously wounded. A source said: 'Gaddafi was deeply distressed. Aisha, the woman who died, was his top bodyguard.'
"Gaddafi surrounds himself with handpicked female bodyguards to foil such attacks. All of them swear an oath that they will give their lives for him. They never leave his side, night or day, & he insists they remain virgins. There is no shortage of volunteers for what is seen as a prestigious job. A special training college puts recruits through a tough program. Girls who don't drop out emerge as trained killers, experts with firearms & martial arts. Gaddafi makes the final selection &, despite the virginal tag, rumors abound that he demands their sexual favors."

Gaddafi on women: "Women should be trained for combat, so that they do not become easy prey for their enemies." In the West, "the situation for women is hardly enviable: she has left home but only to confront a difficult fate, driving trucks & trains."

No razib, they are more "fish speakers". Honored Matres weren't combat/security troops

We drive trucks and trains? What the hell is he talking about?
You know....there can be "sexual favors" that allow one to remain a virgin. I am sure this is news to all of you here, being so innocent and all....;-) But that might answer that little mystery.
I think they look serious and tough.

We at the Institute think that qqgaddaffi is a maniacal idjit, but feel compelled to give credit where it is due. This is brilliant.
The general concept, not the part about driving trains.

And honored matres definitely weren't virgins!
I'm in! I look great in camo! ;)

Was she really his top bodyguard, or just the bodyguard on top during the attempted assination?

Oh, wait-- that is me-- the one with the scarf!

Why is Gaddafi, of all people, living my dream?

I love the Grrl Squad! I even wrote a haiku 'bout them once...
"those blue camo girls
revolutionary babes!
invaded my heart"
I was going to say "pants" instead of "heart", but that would just be crass.

Now he thinks he's Robert Palmer.

Looks like Charlie's Angels, writ large.
I look pretty bitchin' in camo myself, and I'm so pale I'd set off the lovely dark-skinned ladies.
Of course, if Gaddafi ever touched me, he'd die of "lead poisoning" in a hurry.

I especially like the stylin blue cammies. Meaning there is work for homosexuals in Libya

Just curious, what is the homo take on whatever that is kaddaffi is wearing in the upper left?

OMG! Jeff, you watched the "Golden Girls" too??? Is there no TV too awful for you...;-)
Posted by: Rightwingsparkle at February 25, 2005 01:34 PM
NONE!
Posted by: beautifulatrocities at February 25, 2005 01:42 PM
That makes me wonder if Qkgadaffi isn't watching too much American tv....cable tv, if he thinks many of our mothers are truckers.

Here's an image for you: Gaddaffy lounging before the TV wearing a peach-colored satin negligee and eating grapes proffered by the camo-babes, all while watching re-runs of B.J. and the Bear.

What activity is blue camo used for anyways? Swimming?
Posted by: jinnderella at February 26, 2005 01:10 PM
Jinnderella, I was wondering the exact same thing! I was thinking "what would they blend in with, the sky?"
GMTA!

Dear Jinnderella & Thousand Sons:
You guys took the words right out of my mouth. I have always dreamed about being protected by female bodyguards myself. Musically, I have admired Robert Palmer; I have a lot of his stuff. It is too bad he is dead now; the man was a smooth operator and a cassanova. Anyway, don't worry guys, Quaddafi (or however you spell his name) will get his. Someone from the outside will finally blow him away, or someone posing as 1 of his FEMALE BODYGUARDS will take him out. Either way, he will choke on it sooner or later. So don't fret.
