Libya denies opening its lands for American and British forces
2004-01-05
Son of the Libyan leader disclosed a Libyan, British and American agreement to training Libyan military personnel, but denied that this agreement means the establishment of military bases on the Libyan territories.
"Some guy named Fred keeps calling and we keep telling him the O’club is still closed."
Seif al-Islam al-Qathafi said that this agreement was reached during the talks on the mass destruction weapons that took place in past months. In December, 2003, Seif al-Islam announced a visit to be held by the US President George W. Bush and the British prime minister Tony Blair to Libya during 2004. Al-Qathafi’s son said that Washington vowed to protect Libya against any aggression but refused to disclose the details. He also denied any current consultations to convene a joint defense agreement. It is not clear who threatens Libya of aggression.

Seif al-Islam stressed that security and military agreements will be finalized with the US. He added that American military men will be visiting Libya shortly to be acquainted with its needs of various military equipment.
That should be a interesting TDY.

I'd be happy to serve as their uniform inspector.

#4  The moron must have been semi-sombulant during the part of the negotiations when basing for inspectors was discussed. maybe he went for the liquid lunch option.

It might be best if the princeling didn't give interviews without his handlers. I wonder if he has made major yet. How come Daffy never got retired from the Libyan army for failure to make general? Up or out.
