Sick: Gadhafi wants to pitch a tent in New Jersey

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 24, 2009 11:41 PM

How much more suffering does the Obama administration want American relatives of Lockerbie bombing murder victims to take? Fresh off delivering a hero’s welcome for freed Lockerbie jihadist Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, blood-stained Libyan terrorist-enabler Moammar Gadhafi is headed to America next month.

And he wants to pitch a tent in upscale Englewood, NJ after speaking to the UN General Assembly. I wish it were just a sick joke. It’s not:

Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi will set foot on U.S. soil for the first time next month when he comes to address the U.N. General Assembly. Now he wants to put down stakes in the middle of American suburbia.

Plans to set up a tent and allow him to stay at a Libyan-owned estate in this upscale community 12 miles north of Manhattan were attacked Monday by neighborhood residents and public officials, particularly after the hero’s welcome Libya extended last week to the lone man convicted in the 1988 bombing of Pan American Flight 103.

The attack over Lockerbie, Scotland, thought to be the work of Libyan intelligence, killed all 259 people on board the flight, including 33 from New Jersey. Abdel Baset al-Megrahi was freed from a life sentence in a Scottish jail and returned to Libya on compassionate grounds because he is dying of cancer.

“Gadhafi is a dangerous dictator whose hands are covered with the blood of Americans and our allies,” said U.S. Rep. Steve Rothman, whose district includes Englewood. He promised there would be “hell to pay” if the U.S. State Department violates a long-standing deal barring the dictator from staying at the Libyan estate.

State department officials said no decision had been made on the issue.

A smack in the face of Lockerbie victims’ families — and all families who have lost loved ones to jihadi acts of evil:

“This is what happens when you have the path of appeasement,” said Susan Cohen, of Cape May Court House, N.J. “He’s getting everything he wants, and I guess that includes a trip to the state of New Jersey, which certainly doesn’t need this.”

Cohen’s 20-year-old daughter died in the plane bombing.

…”It’s very peaceful here and we’d like to keep it that way, but what can we do if the government lets him in,” said Bennie Wong, 58, who has lived across the street from the estate for 15 years.

    This is a golden opportunity to fill the road from the Libya owned estate to the United (not!) Nations building with protesters. MURDERER GO HOME and DEATH TO MURDERERS signs, big photos of all the 200+ Pan Am / Lockerbie bombing victims. Some creative Libyan flag rework. Lots of protesters banging on pots and pans all night long just over the estate fence near Quadaffi’s tent–keep him awake all night long.

    Good grief, what a despicable symbolic deed that would be, to allow Gadhafi to literally set up a Camp on American soil.

    How utterly pathetic of us, if our leaders allow that act to pass.

    Hey Obama, why don’t we just go all out & send a Medevac jet off to Libya, along with a few handpicked American cancer doctors, to go get al-Megrahi too, so Gadhafi can camp out here with his hero?

    I mean, wouldn’t that just be a whole lot friendlier of us, than the F-111′s and A-6′s we sent over there in April 1986.

    Then Gadhafi & al-Megrahi can party till dawn together in New Jersey and televise it again for the whole world.

    Before the hero’s welcome to the Lockerbie bomber, I would have said that we have normalized relations, so let him stay there and be done with it.

    However, his hero’s welcome tells us that his efforts to make amends and give up terrorism were only because we had a president with a spine. Now that there’s a sympathetic marshmallow in the office, there’s no need to reject those ways.

    Reminds me of a seminar I went to featuring a Thomas Jefferson impersonator. He knew his character well. When an audience member brought up the scandals involving then-president Clinton (in a general way that would make sense to an 18th-century person), Jefferson’s response was right on the money: He was elected with the public knowing full well what his issues were, and therefore chose those issues for the office.

    Yet another reason I’m glad I voted independently in November. There’s no question the Republican would have allowed this as well.

    The picture and the question -

    ‘How much more suffering does the Obama administration want American relatives of Lockerbie bombing murder victims to take?’

    Suggests that Pres Obama wanted the families to suffer and could have somehow prevented the release of al-Megrahi. He couldn’t, not even the Queen of England could have prevented the al-Megrahi’s release.

    Yes, Pres Obama can prevent Mr Gadhafi from going to New Jersey. It is common practice to limit the travels of those visiting the UN. And, even if this is done, I doubt the American relatives of the Lockerbie bombing will suffer any less.

    A simple dogpile search:

    In 2003 Libya began to make policy changes with the open intention of pursuing a Western-Libyan détente. The Libyan government announced its decision to abandon its weapons of mass destruction programs and pay almost $3 billion dollars in compensation to the families of Pan Am Flight 103 and UTA Flight 772.[13]

    Hence normalize relations. Oh who could have possibly caused angst enough that Gadhafi would take this 180? Not sure but me thinks he was kinda scared of our sitting president. Today, not so much. I think that fact is pretty obvious. Chap – you’re comment is a stretch.

    Way back in 1980, my buddy and I went to a pistol range in Kenner,LA. I had with me 50 sheets of homemade target that I prepared the previous day. After loading our guns (we had 1K of .357 reloads)we clipped our targets and reeled it out to the 50 yard range. Before we had a chance to aim, the whole place exploded, other shooters obliterated our targets. The owner demanded a copy, so I gave him one. He made copies of it sold it for a quarter each. That homemade target was a copy of TIME magazine cover Man Of The Year-Moamar Qaddafy. I think I’ll go to range again this weekend.

I will venture a guess though, that this recent move by this nutjob is just a poke at Obama and part and parcel of this cat and mouse game that is continuously played out. No, I think the “rules” have changed a number of times when dealing with Libya but I don’t have a problem with this guy pitching a tent. Not because it’s the right thing to do. Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer. Make no mistake, he’s an enemy and is using this release as an opportunity to show the world what he really thinks of Obama. Now, what we gonna do ’bout that? It is what it is and Obama, unfortunately, is our president. Regardless of what you feel we should, could do based on “fairness” Chap, these kinds of situations do nothing but weaken our country.

    They need a place of their own far off in a distant land. Since most support the Muslim world, I’d say a nice spot in some of the Middle East’s open desert would be fine.

    Their gratefulness to us was expended many decades ago. Now all they do is criticize America and bite the hand that feeds them.

If this is approved, I won’t be surprised, but it will be just one more proof that Democrats can’t be trusted. And this on top of flipping 9/11 into a Global Warming service project, right?

    Chap…we “normalized” relations with that scumbag BEFORE he gave a hero’s welcome to the as$hole who blew up our citizen on that plane. Even Obama should have a bit of sense on this. Somehow, though, he will find a way to stick it to this country once again.

    I thought the central theme of this thread was about his pitching a tent at the NJ estate. I do believe it is something “new”…..

    “Gadhafi is a dangerous dictator whose hands are covered with the blood of Americans and our allies,” said U.S. Rep. Steve Rothman, whose district includes Englewood. He promised there would be “hell to pay” if the U.S. State Department violates a long-standing deal barring the dictator from staying at the Libyan estate.

    We can’t deny him access to the U.N., but we can make his stay miserable, by legal protests outside his tenting area.

    we’d carpet bomb the whole region, stick an American flag smack dab in the middle and take their oil BECAUSE WE CAN.

    Wouldn’t work. The environmentalists would be waiting right out at sea. They’d rush in to find any species they could, that is even remotely threatened, to shut us down. If that didn’t work, they would complain about its global warming effect. Of course, they couldn’t stay long. They would have to rush back to protest the cost of rising gas prices made by evil oil companies.

    That did not answer my question. But if you really think that the fact that they gave that guy a hero’s welcome tips the scale the other way in terms of which is greater appeasement, I would be curious to hear why.

    Gadhafi made all these moves after the Iraq invasion, because frankly he was scared to death of the Bush Administration. He was “rewarded” for those moves. IMHO it was worth the investment.

    Now that he has backtracked, because no one fears Obama, he should be put right back where he was before. However, don’t hold your breath on that one. Leftists only hate U.S. allies. Our enemies are their kindred spirits.

    I’m a little confused. Was that “lawyerspeak”? What are you taking about…greater appeasement? Greater than what? Have I lost touch with reality here? At any rate, it is time to “unnormalize” our relationship with this sub-human pond scum.

    Obama’s hijaking of 9/11 and this welcoming of Gadhafi are simply unacceptable.

    Why doesn’t Obama start acting like Ronald Reagan, instead of just campaigning like Reagan?

    Because he couldn’t possibly keep up that charade for long. He would have to pretend to be something so totally foreign to his ideology that he would make constant mistakes. Oh wait…maybe he IS trying to emmulate Reagan. Nice try, Obby.

    Restricting travel during the UN visit or temporarily refusing the UN visit would probably be enough to satisfy their anger.

    He can speak at the UN just like I’mANutJob did, but he isn’t welcome to stay any longer than what it takes to do what I outlined.

    Of course, Columbia will likely invite him to speak and make certain he gets a civil reception — unlike Tom Tancredo, Ann Coulter, our hostess and a score of other conservative speakers receive when they are invited to speak at a college campus.

    If BHO wants him to pitch a tent, let him pitch it on the White House lawn and then invite the missus to serve him some tea.

    Bet BHO would get one of these looks from the frau…

    Happy, I am off my meds. I meant General Manuel Noriega. Apologies to Marxist Ortega of Nicaragua.

    After the Panama invasion he fled to the Apostolic Nunciature, the Holy See’s embassy in Panama. U.S. troops set up a perimeter outside this building. The Nuncio and his staff attempted to compel Noriega to leave on his own accord.

    During the resulting stand-off, U.S. forces bombarded the embassy with loud music played through boomboxes. The noise exerted psychological pressure on not only Noriega but others in the building. Though the Vatican wished for Noriega to be expelled from the Nunciature as well, it complained to President George H.W. Bush because of the disruptive noise, and U.S. troops were ordered to stop. After a demonstration a few days later by thousands of Panamanians demanding he stand trial for human rights violations, Noriega surrendered.
