Moammar Gadhafi expressed regret Sunday that President Ronald Reagan died before standing trial for 1986 American air strikes that killed the Libyan leader's adopted daughter and 36 other people.

Reagan ordered the April 15, 1986, air raid in response to a discotheque bombing in Berlin allegedly ordered by Gadhafi that killed two U.S. soldiers and a Turkish woman and injured 229 people.

"I express my deep regret because Reagan died before facing justice for his ugly crime that he committed in 1986 against the Libyan children," Libya's official JANA news agency quoted Gadhafi as saying.

1. Yikes, isn't that embarrassing

Our new buddy disses Reagan! :wow:

2. LOL!

3. Gonna make it a little bit harder

to parade him to the faithful as an example of how well their WOT is going... when he proclaims the wish to have held a trial for their (even more than bush) beloved Reagan. "Huhs" and headscratching from throughout the right. Does that mean he is... with us? or against us? Does not compute.

5. That is exactly my initial reaction,...

,...the Bush regime's most recent "friend" pooh poohs their icon.

:spank:

8. Now the Repukes might just have to teach him another lesson

12. He's Bush's buddy now (and prob'ly always was)

and the Bushes tried to Kill Ronnie (see Tarpley.net)

[Nlighten1]

4. He had many other crimes that went unpunished.

6. So true...

Naming names to HUAC behind closed doors being the first one I know of.

7. true

A study in mediocraty and bad faith. I hold him accountable for gross negligence at best.

9. Depends on who killed Klinghoffer

Americans were generally outraged at his death. Gadhafi was the no. 1 suspect.

And yes I know it wasn't his daughters.

10. We did senselessly kill his adopted infant daugher.

The little girl was innocent. We didn't have to do it.

11. Maybe Thatcher can still stand trial

I wonder how reliable the evidence against Gadhafi actually was in the case of the disco bombing. I think we all have much less faith in these claims than we used to.

On edit - If I recall correctly, Ghdhafi was sort of the Ossama of the 1980's to be hauled out as a bogeyman by Reagan and Thatcher when convenient. The same goes for Kohmeni of Iran (spelling?), when the U.S. and U.K. were supporting Saddam Hussien in his war against Iran, supplying him with WMD.

13. pot dissing kettle. or it takes one to know one. cut from the same cloth

I regret that President Ronald Reagan died before standing trial for 1986 American air strikes that killed the Libyan leader's adopted daughter and 36 other people.

15. This guy has a great sense of humor.

Perhaps he will die before trial too.
