Fall of Saddam allowed terrorism to bloom: Gadaffi

The fall of Saddam Hussein has allowed terrorism, and notably Islamic extremism like that of Osama bin Laden, to flourish in Iraq, Libyan leader Moammar Gadaffi said, describing terror as a threat to the security of the whole world.

"Saddam's fall has not brought terrorism to an end," Gadaffi said in a televised speech on Wednesday.

"Far from it: it has found a bigger opportunity to flourish," he said, addressing an audience of Libyan police officers.

"The al-Qaeda network did not exist before in Iraq, and now it is there, along with the renegades," said Gadaffi. Al-Qaeda is bin Laden's underground extremist network, and the term "renegades" is used by Gadaffi to refer to Islamic extremists in general.

Why does a media source even publish what this Puppet or Cronie says? A terrorist repents? But then he is more respectable than Limbaugh repenting from drug dealing and Bennett repenting from gambling millions which he could have donated to the Church.

mentioning 9/11 whenever they talk about Iraq.

Americans really that stupid? :shrug:

Al-Qaeda represents a threat to dictators like Gadaffi and Saddam. They want thier populations to remain quiet and subservient. There's no way organizations like Al-Qaeda can function well in paranoid police states like the former Iraq and the present Libya. This is so obvious that it's maddening how our imbecile pResident played so easily into Bin Laden's plans. Dumbya is playing checkers against a chess master

He's been bluffing and cheating all his life. He has no idea how to play chess, or even checkers -- games where everyone can see all the pieces and all the moves, all of the time.

Everyone knows he's got extra pieces up his sleeves and down his pants, but he has no way of sneaking them onto the table.

At this point the best we can hope is that Bush will leave the table quietly, with his tail between his legs, maybe a big stiff drink in his hands.

We need to get Bush out of the game, quickly, quietly, and peacefully before he flips the table and shoots the other players.

maybe bush wiLL have to stop dropping ghadaffi's name in every speech.

Bush and Cheney keep trying to take credit for Libya disarming recently, but if you really check into it, negotiations started with the Clinton administration, and flourished under British leadership.

It was NOT a result of our invasion of Iraq.

I think Qaddafi wants to be on the record as AGAINST the US invasion, rather than being made to look like a cowering, scared little girl who caved to the manly men now in charge of our country.

Bush praised him on national TV, ignoring the Lockerbie families (who, incidentally, ought to blame Reagan in the first place). Gadaffi is our friend, now.

And he's right. He knows a thing or two about terrorism. He's just saying what we were saying would happen before the invasion.

Even the puppets aren't always with the program.

all along is a CIA puppet dictator.
