Maverick Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi stole the show at Monday's Arab summit, insulting Saudi King Abdullah and proclaiming himself "king of kings of Africa" before storming out to visit a museum.

But the flamboyant Kadhafi also left the door open for reconciliation with Abdullah, whose Western-backed kingdom is a regional heavyweight and the world's largest oil exporter.

"It has been six years since you have been avoiding a confrontation with me," Kadhafi snapped, just as summit host Qatari emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani was ending his speech.

"You are always lying and you're facing the grave and you were made by Britain and protected by the United States," Kadhafi told Abdullah in front of 15 other leaders attending the annual gathering.

1. He's a wacky cat that Kadhafi.

Of course...Britain is good enough for his kids...

2. But he is right in this case

The ruling family in Saudi Arabia would have been deposed decades ago if it wasn't for U.S. and Britain's military support.

3. Quite true...right but hypocritical none-the-less.

He actually has had some positive effect in the fledgling African Union.

It will take a lot more than him to get it moving though.
