Colonel Muammar Gaddafi issued a 'prophetic' warning to Tony Blair that jihadists would attack Europe if his regime was allowed to collapse, phone conversations reveal.
Gaddafi's dire prediction was made in two desperate telephone calls with Mr Blair on February 25, 2011 - as civil war was engulfing Libya.
In the first call at 11.15am, Gaddafi said: "They [jihadists] want to control the Mediterranean and then they will attack Europe."

In the call, lasting half an hour, Gaddafi insisted he was trying to defend Libya from al-Qaeda fighters. The presence of al-Qaedas would later be superceded by the rise of the so-called Islamic State.
"We are not fighting them, they are attacking us, " he said, "I want to tell you the truth. It is not a difficult situation at all. The story is simply this: an organisation has laid down sleeping cells in North Africa. Called the Al-Qaeda Organisation in North Africa... The sleeping cells in Libya are similar to dormant cells in America before 9/11.

Ah, the results of liberal leadership call for a new term, the “turd touch” which is analogous to the “midas touch”.
Liberalism is what happens when rather dull people attain degrees in advanced dullness and actually think they are capable of doing something useful in life.
Rodham Clinton and her “State Department” killed Gaddafi. “We came, we saw, he died”. Now look at the **it she has gotten us into.
“Now look at the **it she has gotten us into.”
All calculated by the Muzzie and Val Jar in the White Mosque.
"The evidence that the Committee has taken so far in this inquiry suggests that western policy makers were rather less perceptive than Gaddafi about the risks of intervention for both the Libyan people and the western interests."
Gaddafi also warned the west that if he was ever removed from office, Europe would be flooded with Africans and Arabs. He actually prevented Libya from becoming a springboard for the invasion of Europe. I suspect that Clinton and 0bama wanted to “fundamentally transform” Europe, and that was why Gaddafi was killed.
This will make a fine campaign ad for Cruz orTrump as they attack Jezabel. Of course, they are the only GOP candidates with the courage to bring up her role in theriseof ISIS.

It does suddenly make sense now.
When you look at it through the lens of someone who wants to advance Islam, it does make sense.
“Liberalism is what happens when rather dull people attain degrees in advanced dullness and actually think they are capable of doing something useful in life.”
PHD’s in anything other than STEM is cause for concern. If I was a dictator coming into power, they would be the first ones sent off to the paddies right after the editorial staff at the NY Slimes.
But you would miss the valuable insights of the folks with degrees in Gender and Social Justice Syudies! /s
The last 8 years make perfect sense, looking thru that lens.
Thanks Mahdi Obami!
The 0bama election day of reckoning draws nigh!
The Left/Clinton/Obama’s main theme for 7 years during Bush was that he destroyed Iraq and had no plan. Bush at least wanted lasting democracy for Iraq (as naive as that now seems)
Clinton and Obama killed Khadaffi for sheer sport - and literally no plan for succession. There was probably hope of a Muslim Brotherhood take-over, but all they did was create a failed country.
WHY is no one talking about this?
Clearly, we had leverage with people like Ghaddafi and Mubarek and even and most importantly The Shah of Iran.
It started with that idiot Carter...and now it is cancer started by Hillary and Obama that will be fixed eventually but only through blood shed.
Does anyone here honestly believe that the next president is going to have an easy go of things by simply making us strong again? We are in crisis mode. It’s like finding out your 16 year old is on drugs, and they hate your guts.
WE need to pray that the next person is up to the task and has our support. It makes you think why would anyone want the job? I think there are those who think they are best suited and can do the job, and there are others that have this idea that they’re better than they really are.
I really don’t care from what background our president comes from, but I am leery of another one or two term junior Senator in charge.
I also, in my lifetime would like to for once see a man in the oval office who knows the language of business and deal making. You may hate Trump you may love Trump. I happen to love the man, but one thing is for sure, he goes right to the heart of the issue at hand.
He’s been talking about the devalued China currency for years now, and esp for the past few months, and now we’re seeing first hand at the outcome in their stock market and ours. Even George Soros is saying the exact same thing TRump has been saying.
This is just one example, as there are many. The rest of the field sit down, talk with their handlers, discuss their response based on the polls, look for their super pacs to sread the message etc etc. Hillary Clinton doesn’t go to the bathroom without consulting her people.
I’m tired of these politicians, ours too.
These secular dictators in the Muslim world have been keeping the dark age beasts at bay for some time now. Why we decided it would be wise to remove them, starting with Saddam Hussein back in’03, is frankly beyond me. Yes, their tactics were brutal, but now the whole world sees exactly why.
