Gadhafi Takes Some Credit for Bush's Win

[Khephra]

ROME -- Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi says his decision to abandon nuclear weapons helped President Bush get re-elected.

In an interview airing Friday on Italy's RAI TV, Ghadafi said the U.S. presidential election was America's way of rewarding Tripoli for renouncing the nuclear program.

"America was very worried that Libya might get a mass destruction weapon, so they were very happy about our decision," Gadhafi said on RAI's "La Storia Siamo Noi" ("History Is Us") news show, according to an English-language transcript provided by the broadcaster.

"It has been a winning hand in the last election," he said.

Or maybe it is a rim-job. Moammar, you sound like a Chrysler-Plymouth parts store or a US Navy base in California. But you did ring in on your sichophantry. It is most appreciated in Washington. Done good, buddyrole!

20. he's up to something; I doubt there's much love lost between

his surreality and our MIC. This seems to be more than buttering up to Booger Boy to get a few more trade deals or shiny new oil-fractionation lids.
