Gaddafi: Don’t Force Us Into Terrorism
Uh oh. Mere days after the US moved to lift sanctions against Libya, crazy old Muammar Gaddafi is threatening the European Union: Don’t Force us Back to Bombing, Gaddafi Tells West.
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi appealed to the West Tuesday to take up Libya’s offer of peace and not force his country back to its old days of sponsoring and harboring what he called “freedom fighters.”
In a rambling 45-minute speech to journalists on a ground-breaking first visit to European Union headquarters, Gaddafi declared: “I hope that we shall not be prompted or obliged by any evil to go back or to look backwards.
”We do hope that we shall not be obliged or forced one day to go back to those days when we bomb our cars or put explosive belts around our beds and around our women so that we will not be searched and not be harassed in our bedrooms and in our homes, as it is taking place now in Iraq and in Palestine.”
