Gaddafi Warns Rice on Establishing Military Base in Africa, Saying Africans would View It as Colonialism
06/09/2008 05:35:00
Tripoli— The Libyan leader Muammar Al-Qathafi warned the US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice at a meeting Friday in Tripoli that any American military bases that might be established on the African continent would be considered by Africans as colonialism.

The Africans, Gaddafi told Rice, would reject such military bases.

The warning came as the two discussed regional and international issues of common interest including the plans by the US to establish a major base in Africa, known as Africom.

Rice arrived in Tripoli Friday evening in the first visit by top American diplomat in over half century.

The Libyan news agency JANA said "on the subject of the American military command, Africom, the Leader warned on any American military direct presence in the content."

"Assuring that Africans will view such military presence as being colonialism and they will reject it," JANA added.

JANA said "on her part, the US Secretary informed the Leader that America was not seeking to establish military bases or military presence in Africa."

On the issue of Palestine, Al-Qathafi stressed that such Middle East problem could only be solved by the establishment of the state of "Isratine", a state that includes both Palestinians and Israelis who would live together within the borders of Palestine as existed before 1948.

Al-Qathafi has comprehensively explained such solution in his "White Book" a number of years ago.

At the end of the meeting, Secretary Rice presented to Al-Qathafi a gift in the form of the official seal of the State Department and he presented her with an Arab music instrument, Oud.

Commentary by Edwin & Mahnaz Bollier, MEBO Ltd

With respect to the Lockerbie victims Families group (PanAm 103 aircrash).
And compassion for the Libyan political hostage and 'Lockerbie victim 271' Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi, suffering since April 6th, 1999 until now painful years, innocent in scottish prisons...
Also the Scottish police had information that might have changed the outcome of the Lockerbie bombing trial, a BBC TV programme has learned.
The information could have affected the credibility of key evidence, the manipulated MEBO MST-13 Timer-Fragment, was not from a timer delivered to Libya!
The most logical possibility is that the bombing-story 'PanAm-103' was specifically constructed to blame Libya.

The truth will confirm it on, the official Libya's, Mr Abdelbaset Al Megrahi, was the victims no.271 in the 'Lockerbie Affair'...

Very little has been said about the suffering of the Libyan people during the years of sanctions. How many died because of lack of medical supplies or hospital equipment?

Some of the Lockerbie victims Families (PanAm 103 aircrash)
say the cordial and truth words:

It is to be believed absolutely that all relatives of the victims of Flight PanAm-103 would gladly repay any 'compensation' money from Libya if he could just have our loved ones back.

To the memory:

The trial under Scottish law, the accused Mr Al Megrahi was found guilty on Jannuary 31, 2001, of mass murder (270 killed) and is serving a life sentence (27 years) in Greenock prison at Glasgow in Scotland. Mr Megrahi and protests till today his innocence.

The Scottish judicial review commission (SCCRC) came across important relieve-evidence (some that was available to prosecutors but not the defense during Megrahi's trial) suggesting that the Libyan was framed and the the legal judgement was in all probability a miscariage of justice!

Entitled question for the Lockerbie victims Families group (PanAm 103 aircrash)?:

Which will happened with the 'compensation' money of US$ 2,7 billion from Libya Foundation, if Mr Abdelbaset Al Megrahi, of the same Scottish jurisdiction, as innocent revived?

I believe that the entire world population then expected, that then the unauthorized received 'compensation' will pay back to the Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation, Saif el Islam Gaddafi.

The reproach would be then incorrect that the survivors are greedy and have required on the back of their victims blood money.

Comment:
(September 06, New Delhi, Sri Lanka Guardain) Overshadowed by Libya's failure so far to honor a deal offering compensation to families of victims of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice began a “historic” visit to Libya as part of a North African tour including Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco. Rice told a news conference in Lisbon before leaving for Tripoli. "It is an historic moment ... that has come after a lot of difficulty and the suffering of many people, which will never be forgotten or assuaged”. Her agenda was to discuss, among other issues, the conflict in Sudan and Libya's "important" role there. Gaddafi usually meets the international dignitaries in tents and huts.
Comment:
I am sure America and its greed have convinced themselves that Libya was behind it ,I would like to ask America what could Libya gain but I am sure to know what America gain really.
