Judge blocks construction work on Gadhafi’s NJ estate

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 31, 2009 08:34 PM

The Libyan government defied work-stoppage orders on its construction project at Moammar Gadhafi’s NJ compound.

Now, a judge has issued a halt to work on the Libyan estate’s driveway.

Just in tonight:

A judge has ordered a halt to work being done outside a northern New Jersey mansion where Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi wanted to stay during his first U.S. visit.

Englewood Mayor Michael Wildes wants all renovations at the 5-acre estate stopped to prevent Gadhafi from staying there when he visits the United Nations in September. A judge gave Wildes a partial victory Monday, stopping work on the estate’s pool and driveway.

The dispute arose after a Scottish court freed a man convicted in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, and let him go back to Libya. The bombing killed 270 people, including 97 from New Jersey or New York.

The Libyans have promised Gadhafi will stay elsewhere. They say there was no need for the mayor’s lawsuit.

Memo to the State Department: There is no need to allow Gadhafi to come here in the first place.

    Tell him if Gadhafi has terminal cancer we will think – think – about restarting the project. But we want a second medical opinion from a specialist.

    Hey, maybe if he comes Barry could give him some classic DVDs, and some toy missles for the kids…then appologize to him for being American.

    Keep this putrid piece of dung out of the United States. To show him any manner of courtesy or honor is obscene.

    Dems played a big role in the work stoppage — not because Moammar is a terrorist and a terrorist sympathizer, but because he was using non-union labor.

    I don’t speak Libyan but this sounds like a classic case of “lost in translation”. Kind of like when us French Canadians say things like:

    “Throw me down the stairs my hat!”

    Or

    Q: “How did you come down, you drive up?”

    A: “No! I go by fly!”

    Who knows what they heard when the judge told them “Get the f@%k out and right now!”

    Those Libyans. They can be such chuckleheads sometimes.

    Didn’t President Reagan nuke Gadhafi’s baby girl in 86?

    Good Times when we had a president who put America first!

    It seems like that was the time Reagan locked congress in, to announce that we were bombing Libya, so the turncoats couldn’t run out to warn the Gadaf.
    He knew who he was dealing with!

    I miss Ronnie!

    Probably at the White House or with one of Obama’s buddies.

    This is as ridiculous as having the open invite to that dictator in Iran.

    What the hell does Obama not understand about the word ENEMY?

    It’s not that he doesn’t understand….

    it’s that Obama doesn’t CARE!

    Englewood is in Bergen County. It was, when I grew up in it, Conservative and Republican. Things have changed there, but maybe some remnants of sanity. Maybe Corzine will step in and do OBambi’s apologies for him and make sure Moammar is comfortible and happy.

    Let Gadaffi set up his tents in Central Park and there he can entertain some of the One’s constituents; muggers, pick pockets, etc!

    Um, no. I hated Khadaffi before that. I don’t want him alive, let alone in this country.
