US Apologizes to Gaddafi For Using Harsh Words That Offended the Dear Dictator
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, March 9, 2010, 10:45 PM
The Obama State Department apologized to Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi for offending the dear tyrant with offensive language.
The BBC reported:
The US State Department has apologized for comments made about Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s call for jihad, or holy war, against Switzerland.
Department spokesman PJ Crowley, who made the dismissive comments, said they did not reflect US policy and were not intended to offend.
Col Gaddafi had criticised a Swiss vote against the building of minarets and urged Muslims to boycott the country.
Mr Crowley described it as “lots of words, not necessarily a lot of sense.”
Libya and Switzerland are embroiled in a long-running diplomatic row.
“I regret that my comments have become an obstacle to further progress in our bilateral relationship,” Mr Crowley said.
Last week, Libya’s National Oil Corporation warned US oil firms of possible “repercussions” over Mr Crowley’s reaction. The Libyan ambassador to the US sought to clarify Col Gaddafi’s remarks saying the Libyan leader meant an economic boycott not “an armed attack”.
“I should have focused solely on our concern about the term jihad, which has since been clarified by the Libyan government,” Mr Crowley added.
“I understand my personal comments were perceived as a personal attack on the president,” he said.

Libyan dictator Moamer Gaddafi warned the Swiss in December that their minaret ban invited attacks by Al-Qaeda on Europe.
In September it was reported that the Obama Administration planned to give $400,000 in funding to a Libyan charity run by the Gadhafi family.

The inmates are truly running the asylum. The govt of the United States worries about offending dictators while it does nothing but offend the American people. Something’s gotta give.
HoHum commented:
The US is in a limbo of apology and humiliation until the next election day – we will make it out of this embarrassing slump soon – as soon as we get a President.

Here comes another bow.
Here it comes again.
Here comes another bow………
Boom…. bang…… blam…… pow…….
I’ve got a scenario for y’all………
Our Dictator In Training Pants is headed for Indonesia……. You know he’s gonna go see that statue……. He’s supposed to sign the pedestal it’s built on.
One can only “hope” as he bends to sign the pedestal, someone doesn’t kick him from behind.
I could never sanction an assault on our president, but the visions can’t stop themselves from forming………..
Free kicks – One per person – Make him hit his head on the statue and win citizenship to a free nation near you.

Talk about one heck of a great campaign video……….

Reagan never apologized to that baffoon, he bombed him a couple of times to keep him in his box.
He was also very silent when Bush was around, he even gave up his nuclear weapon ambitions.
Maybe now that he see’s there is a new inept “sheriff” in town, he will start to misbehave again. Maybe the Israelis will put him back in his box.

Do you realize you’re posting comments at a Catholic site? Show some respect.
Jon commented:
While everyone’s at it we, the American people, should be getting apologies from the government too. Just think how many times we’ve been screwed by DC or know someone who has been during times in their whole lives. I’m not going to say that “our” government is an entity foreign to us but they certainly don’t represent us as a people well at all.

Mrgoodwench commented:
Wasn’t Hussien Obama’s muslim grandma
( Sarah) from Kenya hanging out with Quaddafi last year ? After she took her family to Hajj paid for by the Saudi royal family ?
There was a news report of that event in Libya at that time.
Libyan dictator has always referred to Obama as a fellow african muslim and there are many videos of that.
Obama was instumental by turning a blind eye to have the libyan plane bomber released
( the one who was supposed to be dead by now!)
And didn’t Beyonce and Jay-Z get honored by Barry Sotero after she put up a show for Quaddafi’s family in Tripoli ?
Didn’t Barack Hussain give some half a million taxpayer bucks to Gaddhafi’s son for some
” foundation”
And who can forget the racist hatemongerin US hating duo Wright + Farrakhan and their kissy-kissy relations with Quaddafi as well as Hussain ?
Now,
our government is sorry FOR USING some unpleasant words
to Quaddafi
who was calling FOR A JIHAD ?
Can we call him a jihady now ?
jorgen commented:
Obama never met a dictator he didn’t like. He seems to have learned everything he knows from Carter.
Just_Saying commented:
When did the president get the authority to be granting money to people worldwide? (Or, is this part of the TARP/stimulus slush fund?)
I thought such “grants” had to be approved by the “legislative branch” before it was legit…

20 years listening to a radical preacher and he is still a muslim at heart, kissing the ass of the middle east whenever he can. Why are we now giving money to hamas and Libia? Because Obamanation is a shill for the muslim empire.
Mike commented:
And in a related report, US Dept of State official spokesman were quoted as asking official permission of Colonel Qa-Daffy for President Barak Hussein Obama to kiss Qa-Daffy’s ass.
Ginger commented:
Hey Kenny Soloman…….. is he really going to Indonesia to sign his name to a pedestal? What a total waste of our tax payers money.
Each action has a reaction… Each time the fraud does something to take away our rights he touches on another voter that will NOT vote for him!
My vision is to see that plane go down on Indonesian land and they would be able to keep their hero!
neomom commented:
Lionel Ritchies long lost twin, he’s done real good for himself. He has his own country and leaders of great nations kiss his butt. In a just world Saddam would not have been swinging alone. It sends me into a rage to realize that no one paid for Pan Am 103. We need a leader with the foreign policy cred of Charlemagne.

That’s not Gadaffi, it’s Donald Fagen!

Gaddafi blew up a plane didn’t he? Wasn’t he the one responsible for killing all the passengers on the Lockerbie jet from Scotland? So, he mass murders innocent people through terrorism and America feels compelled to apoogize for offending him with mere words? Obama is such a joke it is impossible to put it into words.

Obama knew all about Farrakhan
[In 1985, the year following Wright and Farrakhan's trip to Libya, Obama, then a Chicago community activist, visited Wright's church. In Wright, it was reported, Obama "had found both a spiritual mentor and a role model." In 1991, Obama joined TUCC and "walked down the aisle in a formal commitment of faith."
Ten years after first stepping foot in Wright's church, in October 1995 Obama accompanied Wright to Farrakhan's "Million Man March."
The following year, in January 1996, Farrakhan returned from another trip to Libya. It was the same month in which Barack Obama became an Illinois State Senator. By then, Obama had been attending Rev. Wright's church for ten years, the latter five as a committed member. The New York Times reported:
Louis Farrakhan, head of the Nation of Islam, visited Libya this week to meet Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi and discussed how to "unify, mobilize and organize" American Muslims for elections in the United States this year.
Colonel Qaddafi, the Libyan leader, quoted by the state press agency, said: "Our confrontation with America used to be like confronting a fortress from outside. Today we have found an opening to enter the fortress and to confront it from within."]
NOI Farrakhan – Obama is Black Messiah
Obama’s Harvard Sponsor
Along came a black citizen of Kenyan African origins, a Muslim, who
had studied in an Islamic school in Indonesia. His name is Obama.
Gaffafi is right..
“If we want to amend the state of humanity, and live in a global village, because of globalization [..] The fifty million Muslims in Europe will turn
it into a Muslim continent within a few decades. [..] Europe is in a predicament, and so is America. They should agree to become Islamic
in the course of time [..]“

“Hey Gadhafi! I’m sorry you’re such a jerk.”
That’s the only apology he deserves.
xiphos commented:
Looking at that picture of Gaddafi, all I see is a pinata.
Bertogem commented:
So, now we’ve offended Britain over the Falklands, Switzerland over Gaddafi, China over the $$$, Japan over Toyotas, and Israel over West Bank settlements, while cozying up to terrorists and rogues. It’s a darn good thing we don’t have Bush to kick around anymore and that BO is restoring USA standing in the world.
Joanne commented:
Where oh where has my comment gone…far, far, away.
Gaddafi wasn’t referring to an economic boycott, he was referring to attacks – how stupid can people get! Who cares what Gaddafi thinks! Obama cares, that is who – such a telling tale.

Apologize to Ghaddafi for NOTHING. EVER.
From where did Obama develop his sympathies to the American-murdering Ghaddafi’s feelings? Twenty years of Wright? Farrakhan?

we may be winning battles, but we’re losing the war,
and we have one man to thank, Mubarack Hussein Obama..
[Abdul-Malik also makes no bones about discussing how the election of President Obama is a step forward in the project of Islamization and the long term goal of Islamist domination which falls right in lock-step with that of the Muslim Brotherhood as revealed in their manifesto.
[..]
“…even under the pressures that you and I know about, the deen of Islam is growing because people see even within all of this struggle it is better to be a Muslim under these conditions than to be a kaffir under any conditions… before Allah closes our eyes for the last time you will see Islam move from being the second largest religion in America-that’s where we are now- to being the first religion in America.”]
Virginia House Opens to Radical Cleric
[Abdul-Malik is on record about the moderation of Anwar al-Awlaki,
a previous spiritual leader at Dar al-Hijrah who went on to become an al-Qaeda affiliated radical fighting America from Yemen. Abdul-Malik falsely claimed that Awlaki was not extremist during his time at Dar al-Hijrah, when he stated:
"Let's be clear when Anwar Al Awlaki was at Dar Al-Hijrah, he was articulating the same message that I articulate today in Dar Al-Hijrah,
a very open, a very engaging, a very community wise and contemporary understanding of the faith within the framework of its traditionalism."
However, while he was a prayer leader at Dar al-Hijrah, Awlaki declared that Palestinians who killed Israeli civilians were freedom fighters, claimed that the 9/11 terrorists were actually "victims not hijackers," and accused the FBI of pinning the blame on Muslims for the 9/11 attacks.]
stupid is as stupid believes & the powers that
be do not believe, how stupid are we?? *sigh*
if you think the dots weren’t connected
re: 9/11.. “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!”..

Dear IslaMarxist Usurper Leader..
you know (fitb) well the US will never declare war on Islam, we do not have to, as you also know damn well Islam has declared a holy war on
US via the Muslim Brotherhoods military AQ et al arms..
go back to sleep people, if you are not able to recognize that Utopianism by any other name & Islamism are joined at the ideological hip with your eyes wide open..
then maybe you will realize soon enough that Islam & Utopianism by any other name are wedded under the cover of Globalization aka: the NWO in your nightmares to come..
