| Letters to Obama and Sarkozy from Ghadafi | |
| I have all the Libyan people to do for me. Men, women and children will die for me, Colonel Muhamar Gadhafi. We are confronting Islamic terrorists al Qaeda. What would you do if Osama Bin Laden's people were controlling American cities. Tell me what you would do Obama so I can follow your example. This interference in our country is a clear aggression on a sovereign country. No one gave you the right to intervene in our internal affairs. Our country, not your country , Sarkozy of France. Come make sure. Cease fire is over. Explosions have been heard in Benghazi along with pro-Gadhafi fighter jets streaking across the skies of Libya. Gaddafi forces have entered the suburbs of Western Benghazi. The United Nations says the implementation of the no-fly zone. Who are these rebels, Ban Ki Moon of the United Nations. Big war erupting not just there in Nortgh Africa Tunisia, Egypt and Algeria, but the whole Middle East. 50 rockets launched at Israel by Hamas, Iran's sons of hate. | |
