Muammar Al-Gaddafi Wrote A Thank You Note To Congress For Criticizing Obama

» 37 comments

In case you’d been wondering what Muammar al-Gaddafi has been up to lately, here’s your answer: writing heartfelt letters to Congress. The ousted Libyan leader thanked members of Congress for having criticized Barack Obama, adding that he is counting on them to investigate NATO-led military actions in order to “confirm what we believe is a clear violation of U.N. Security Council resolution 1973.” Gaddafi has something of a history of sending letters to the United States, although they had mostly been rather fawning (and unanswered) notes to Obama himself.

A spokesperson for Speaker John Boehner seemed less than enthused about the three-page document. But! That doesn’t mean it’s not without its purpose:

If authentic, this incoherent letter only reinforces that Gaddafi must go. There’s no disagreement about that. That’s why so many Americans have questions – which the White House refuses to answer – about the administration committing U.S. resources to an operation that doesn’t make his removal a goal.

We wonder what sort of stamps he used.

    Let’s see if politics stops at the shoreline.

    Gaddafi will soon host his own tea-party in Tripoli.

  • Dem4Ever

    Alex you refer to Gadaffi as “ousted”. Do you know something that the rest of the world doesn’t?

    If Gaddafi has been ousted as Alex claims, then what the “blank” are we doing there?

  • Dem4Ever

    Now that Gaddafi has been “ousted” who is in charge?

  • Rivermont

    MG, you mean Barry is now losing the terrorist vote?

  • http://www.swissarmyjew.com Keeva

    Hmm. Wasn’t it the GOP House minority in the last Congress and the one before that kept carping about giving aid to the enemy. Well, looky. They just did.

    That is a story from 2007. Anything current? I didn’t think so.

    Nope. The very people that just 3 years ago insisted politics does stop at the shoreline are now the ones who have extended politics right into active military operations despite their claims that one shouldn’t do that. In other words, big, fat hypocrites.

    The U.S. government approved $40billion in private arms sales to countries including Libya and Egypt in 2009 – before they both dissolved into unrest this year – the State Department reported.

    No. It just means the GOP led house is winning the terrorist vote.

    Try again. You are losing.

  • Sam M.

    Clearly Gaddafi loves the GOP, specifically the tea-party. Al-qaeda and the Taliban are also lobbying for a GOP control because they know the GOP will ignore all warnings of an impending attack. Terrorist love Republicans and in particular that tea-party.

    Muammar Al-Gaddafi may be a war criminal and guilty of genocide, but no one can outdo him when it comes to fashion.

  • Sanders Youth

    What was it the right wing said when Bush was President? “Don’t criticize Bush you give aid and comfort to our enemies”???

    Look at what you right winger just did? You just gave aid and comfort to our enemies. Gaddafi loves you guys!

    Thank you Alex for not making any unacknowledged corrections to your story.  However, this is one you should try and take care of.  It’s pretty bad.

    Qaddafi is a punk, but so is Obama. It’s hard to take sides in that regard. However, I obviously side with our military, so the edge goes to Obama by proxy, but just barely. I bet Q could run an economy better than O.

    And so are you flag waving idiots on the left.

    The biggest difference between the two groups though is that you will never see Conservatives burning the flag, spitting on soldiers or calling them “baby killers” and other vile garbage, like alot of lefty nuts do.

    There will be no Republican version of Code Stink travelling the countryside, trashing the country and just being a bunch of worthless dicks in general.

    We simply want Obama gone.

    I can’t even imagine if after 911 someone like myself said “I hate Osama and Bush, it is hard to take sides”. If someone heard me say that especially anyone who puts on the uniform to defend our country, would have every right to try and kick my ass and insist I GTFO of our country if you even have to think about such a question.

    Seriously if you have a problem with the USA and whose side you would be on, go live in Libya I am sure Mommar would love to have you, after he raped you and killed your family.

    Think about it before you spout off your anti-American bullshit next time.

    In the next line you talk about defending our country? You are a joke, you just said you had difficulty whose side you would be on if it were Gaddafi vs. Obama, and you have the nerve to call flag burners and Code Pink anti American? You just proved to everyone you hate our country a lot more than any flag burner does. Love it or leave it, commie.

    I knew it! Gaddafi is a “Conservative”. What I don’t know is he a member of the “Tea Party” or is he just a Republican?
