The secret history (((they))) don't want you to know

Toplowtech posted:

He's speaking far too much and isn't saying nearly enough. Also "OIL".

Was thinking more his poses and expressions without "ums". He looks like a CEO who practiced a bad news speech for weeks, not a guy rambling tales of African illegal immigrants who broke out of jail to drunkenly drive tanks around oil fields.

Do you think he'll finish that speech and say to his aides "hey, I thought that went pretty well, don't you?"

It was awfully considerate of Britain to call before hand to let them know they're planning on invading and taking their oil.

Wow, even us Canadians are plotting their overthrow now.

Gaddafi actually supported the Southern Sudanese rebels in the 1980's during Nimeiry's leadership because Nimeiry supported the Israeli-Egyptian peace. Libya was basically being a dick to anyone who didn't agree with Gaddafi's ideals of Arab and Muslim unity, even if this meant funding Christian rebels.

Soon after Nimeiry left the relations between Libya and Sudan improved, however, so much so that Libyan troops were allowed to be stationed in Darfur to operate against Chad. Trying to understand North African politics might become easier after Gaddafi has gone...

Yea, I was talking about his relations with the current regime in Sudan.

Speaking of politics, Gaddafi poses as a pan-african leader in Africa, while in Europe he declares himself as the "defender of white and christian europe" against the "hordes of African savage immigrants" and he got a shitload of money from EU and especially Italy to prevent immigration.

He's following in Dad's footsteps. Remember the rambling speech Qaddafi gave to the U.N. in 2009 or 10 where he said a lot of reasonable things about U.S imperialism and then also blamed the Israelis for H1N1 or something crazy like that?
