#3  Gaddafi's children, who reside in Europe, were recalled to his bedside in Tripoli.

Yeah!! It's story time!

Tell us the one where the Worldwide Caliphate drives all the Jews into the sea again!

#4 Yer too quick, Chuck:).
Reminds me of the Python skit: Well, he's having a lot of mental difficulties ... caused by a small particle of brain in his skull, and once we've removed that he'll be perfectly all right.

#5 Sorry, folks. Looks like no "line of death" for Mo...

TRIPOLI -- Libya Monday scoffed at rumors about veteran leader Muammar Gaddafi's state of health after a report he was in a coma, suffering a blood clot on the brain.

The state news agency JANA said the rumors about Gaddafi, the Arab world's longest serving leader, were the subject of joking during a telephone conversation with Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi Monday morning.

"The phone call was an opportunity for the Italian prime minister to joke about a lie created by a traitor media outlet about the brother leader's health," JANA said.

Palestinian news agency Maan, quoting "informed sources," reported that Gaddafi had suffered a blood clot on the brain and was in a coma after being rushed to hospital Sunday. It later removed the report from its Web site.
Oh-oh. Looks like Maan's made the Libyan shitlist. NO AID FOR YOU!!!

Prodi, on a visit to Prague, said he spoke with Gaddafi for an hour-and-a-half late Sunday and again Monday.

#6 And...let the groveling commence

Ma'an News Agency apologizes to the Libyan leader and people for the confusion which the story caused. They also wish the Libyan leader good health. The Palestinian people still remember the positive support of the Libyan people and government for the Palestinian cause.

#7 Damn, I was hoping it was true.

But then I thought of his bodyguards -- the fembots.

You've got to remember; who is going to care for his fembots?

#8 Aren't those women dressed in a kind un-Islamic manner (according to the Taliban and Iranian Mullahs)?

#9 Gaddafi is a National Socialist that blends in some Pan-Arabic mysticism, and a dose of Sufi-like Islam mysticism, into his mix. He has never been a poster boy for the Wahabists, which is why he has actively been fighting Al-Q for the past several years - even before his "Come to Jesus" moment on WMDs.

#10 Mizzou, I'm sure that the fembots will land on their feet. Why, it wouldn't surprise me if Fred offered them a modeling job in the Classic CheesecakeĀ™ department of the Rantburg Defender-Scimitar & Times-Picayune.
