Quote Of The Week

John Cole:

If you ever wondered how the rest of the world views our wingnuts when they speak on the global stage, you should turn on CNN right now and watch Gadhafi’s rambling and incoherent speech.

Ain't that the damn truth.

Gadhafi said the Security Council hasn't provided security, but "terror and sanctions." He said no one should accept the resolutions of the Security Council, which he said should be called the "terror council." He suggested abolishing the Security Council in favor of the General Assembly, which would become a "world parliament."

Gadhafi slammed U.S. military actions in places such as Korea, Panama, Vietnam and Grenada. He called the invasion of Iraq "the mother of all evils," criticizing the hanging of deposed leader Saddam Hussein and the abuses at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

He also said there should be investigations into many incidents, such as the Afghan war, and that the Taliban should be able to form an Islamic emirate, similar to the Vatican, and not be an enemy.

He called for probes of the massacre at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camp in 1982 during the Lebanese civil war, Israel's Gaza offensive, and the killings in the 1960s of former President John F. Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King.

On other issues, Gadhafi said the solution for Israelis and Palestinians "is a democratic state without religious fanaticism" and said people on both sides want to live in one state. He has put forward an idea called the Isratine proposal that calls for a one-state solution in the region.

Citing tough U.S. security, Gadhafi also broached the idea of moving the U.N. headquarters out of the United States and suggested putting it in another location, like China or India.

He called the H1N1 flu virus a military tool and a weapon of proliferation.

I still say McCain needs to put this guy up in his backyard.

And yes, as completely screwball off his rocker as this guy sounds, he makes our own extremist wingnuts looks sane by comparison. After all, we have an entire political party run by them.
