Gadhafi regrets Reagan died without trial
 

TRIPOLI, Libya (Reuters) - Muammar Gaddafi (news - web sites) said Sunday he regretted that former U.S. President Ronald Reagan (news - web sites) had died without ever being tried for 1986 air strikes that killed dozens of people, including the Libyan leader's adopted daughter.

"I express my profound regrets over Reagan's death before he appeared before justice to be held to account for his ugly crime in 1986 against Libyan children," Gaddafi told the official JANA news agency.


Reagan ordered the April 15, 1986, air strikes in response to a disco bombing in West Berlin that killed three people, including two U.S. servicemen. Washington blamed Libya for the blast.


Libya said more than 40 people died in the strikes on Tripoli and Benghazi. The targets included Gaddafi's home, where his 15-month-old adopted daughter died.


Reporting Reagan's death, JANA simply referred to him as former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's partner "in the unsuccessful American-Atlantic (NATO (news - web sites)) aggression" on Gaddafi's home.


Libya, which recently emerged from international isolation over its alleged support for "terrorism," has been promoting better ties with the United States since agreeing in December to dismantle its programs of weapons of mass destruction.


It was not immediately clear if Gaddafi's comments would affect the progress in relations between the two countries.

Gaddafi is an idiot. When finally starting to be in better terms with the US you shouldn't go an insult any American leader.

Wouldn't have been a problem if Khadafi hadn't used them as human shields for military targets.

He is an idiot!:mad:

Buried His Ass up His Rear when He was attempted to be Bombed and the French would not let The US fly over them!:o

Now, all of a sudden He tries to be a Diplomate, but returns to His Roots a Perfect Asswhole! Abets Terroism!

Once Scum, always Scum of a poor Country that He made that way!:mad:

Never give credit where it is not due!

Human shields? Oh no! Sounds like Qadaffi should be put on trial!

Hay Daffy Qaddafi... this is what Libya REALLY stands for:

Lakenheath*
Is
Bombing
Your
Ass!!!

Haven't learned from Operation 'Eldorado Canyon' in '86? We CAN fix that by teaching you another lesson in humility, don'cha know!

This time we WON'T miss.

* RAF Lakenheath, home of the 48th Fighter Wing (Statue of Liberty). For 'Eldorado Canyon' they flew F-111 Aardvarks, they now have F-15E Strike Eagles.

Qadaffi is an incompetent a$$ and should have been ousted years ago. I think our forces should make a little "trip" once things in Iraq get settled down.

The thing to be regretted is that we missed.

Qadaffi is up there with Ted Rall, in my book. Both of them deserve a good swift kick to the nuts.

A couple of GBU-28 'bunker buster' 2000-pound smart bombs will do the job as well.

Yeah, because a liberal columnist has brought death and terrorism to innocent people.
