Gaddafi Calls On War With Italy
RIA Novosti ^ | April 30, 2011

Posted on 04/30/2011 6:15:24 PM PDT by Strategy

Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi on Saturday called on war with Italy, citing Italy's 'colonization' attempts.

In a speech delivered at the Libyan state TV, Gaddafi said that he could not prevent war with Italy since Libyans wanted it.

"We are already in a war with Italy since Italians kill our children in 2011 as they did in 1911, that is why I cannot forbid Libyans to defend their lives and carry the military actions on the enemy's territory," Gaddafi said.

These are manufactured reports. He needs to invoke some failure to perform clause in the BP, Total and Eni oil production contracts and award those contracts to PetroChina.

That will change the equation immediately, when Chinese citizens flood the country and NATO can’t bomb.

Putin is going to go wild over all this that happened in Libya.

I bet if he put Russian Troops there Obama would back down so fast it would be funny.

Gaddafi was Italy’s immigration gatekeeper for the mere sum of $8 billion annual if I’m not mistaken. I’m sure both nations are not pleased with the disruptions.

Non posso credere che questo pazzo pazzo idiota potrebbe pensare che egli dovrebbe dichiarare guerra con l’Italia. Che cosa pensa? Non sappiamo come si combatte? Ha mai sentito parlare non delle guerre puniche? Mamma Mia!

A link from this past February.....

Europe's interests in Libya

....mentions Eni, and if that name doesn't sound familiar, it should.

Eni has an oil spill 10 days after Nikaitchuq production starts

Guess who's drilling in Alaska.

How did Eni get a permit?

Thanks Strategy.
"We are already in a war with Italy since Italians kill our children in 2011 as they did in 1911, that is why I cannot forbid Libyans to defend their lives and carry the military actions on the enemy's territory," Gaddafi said.
Okay, think about this: there are two groups, one of which has to back down. If one of these groups backs down, it means their own deaths. If the other does, it's just another in a long string of humiliations and admissions of guilt. Who do you think will win?

Obama wins, that's who. And he doesn't work for us.
