'Your Excellency': Charles's fawning letter to Gaddafi discovered at one of despot's palaces
Daily Mail ^ | 25th October 2011 | Sam Greenhill and Rebecca English

A fawning letter sent by Prince Charles to Colonel Gaddafi has been discovered at one of the despot’s palaces in Libya. Addressing the dictator as ‘Your Excellency’, the heir to the throne called for greater ties between the two nations.

It is the latest embarrassing link to emerge between the British Establishment and Gaddafi’s hated regime, and follows revelations his brother Prince Andrew was also used as a go-between.

The Gadafy murder puts the Obama Administration in a quandary. They took out Osama unilaterally invading another country without due process of law or advise and consent. They took out an American citizen without due process of law. They invaded Libya without advise and consent, resulting in the butcher of its dictator. The Obama Administration has broken every ideal they criticized Bush on and called for the closing of Gitmo about, all for the need for a bump in the polls - to look tough in forein policy because his domestic policy has failed miserably.

Western governments have been bowing down to Godaffy for decades! This is nothing new.

The left loved Gadaffi right up until he sided against Al Qaeda and “cooperated” with the WOT (or pretended to).

But that’s totally down the memory hole, now he was “hated”, lol.

If I were a British citizen, I’d be a republican. I couldnt’ bear the thought of this fool being head of state until he dies.

We and Camilla had seen “Desert Song” at S-W’s the evening that We pledged that love troth.
We was feeling a bit giddy.

I think Chuck’s thinking of running for vice president.

Remember when Charles wrote a letter to his hatchet-faced wife saying he dreamed about being her tampon?

He makes my skin crawl.

The letter thanks Gadaffi for making it easier for Christians to worship in Libya. What other Islamic state has been doing that? Is the Daily Mail suggesting that shouldn’t have been encouraged?

Diplomatic etiquette is what it is. Charles didn’t write the playbook or make up on his own the terms of address. Platitudes hoping for better international ties are standard boilerplate. What’s the big deal?

I believe this Charles cat’s DNA has been spinning in the wrong direction for some time.

This is the same man who left Princess Diana for Camilla Parker-Bowles, purportedly even on his wedding night. Sort of puts his opinions in context, don’t it?

Chuck is pro-Islam and a true believer in AGW. What a putz.

I can’t wait until they find a similarly fawning letter from Obama.

The Queen better skip her drippy son and chose William right away (when she is ready).

The Princey wants to be the Gaddafi ruling over the whole world. Inbred globalist idiot.

Because you can’t hide centuries of inbreeding.

Well, it appears Brits are much smarter than their Prince global ruler wannabe, given they are demanding a pull out from the globalist dictators of the Eewwww.

Way to go Brits.

I think it is more than just trying to look tough, I think that he wants a united caliphate that he probably believes would be an equal to the United States.

I'd feel pity for the whole British "empire" if we didn't have our own embarrassment sitting in the Oval Office. Ain't got time to pity anyone else.
