Well isn’t that special? But I can’t help but like his reasoning. :discodance:
[quote]Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi is set to ask the United Nations to ‘abolish’ Switzerland and share the land among its neighbouring countries.
The eccentric dictator has filed a motion with the U.N. saying the Alpine state should be wiped off the map and split among France, Italy and Germany.
Gaddafi is set to present his bizarre plan when Libya takes over the year-long presidency of the U.N. general Assembly on September 15.
He first mentioned his idea at the G8 summit in Italy in July. ‘Switzerland is a world mafia and not a state,’ he said.
‘It is formed of an Italian community that should return to Italy, another German community that should return to Germany, and a third French community that should return to France.’ [/quote] nyc.indymedia.org/en/2009/09/107172.html
Well, uhhh, that oughtta be interesting to watch. does anyone take this clown seriously anymore?
With apologies to my Swiss friends, I like seeing wild accusations made against switzerland. They never seem to have any trouble with anyone.
I’m never going to go to Switzerland and this topic doesn’t concern me at all. I swear there should be a “Swiss issues that don’t concern the rest of the world” forum.
Silly old fool! Grudge/face politics. His daughter-in-law attacked a chambermaid, so they got arrested so daddy is playing the big man. ‘Your country SUCKS! It’s not even a real country! Ha!’
Obviously, his son was just there to check out the Alps, and go for some fondue and stuff. Libyans being well-known for their interest in skiing.
Yeah? Well you’ll be laughing on the other side of your face when you wake up one morning with chocolate all over your balls and a cuckoo clock stuck to your chest hairs. Won’t be so fucking cocky THEN, Boris! Mark my words.
No guys, that can’t work, we will put our Veto on that one. I mean everyone get’s his share and we Austrians wouldn’t get a piece. After all they run away from us (well the Habsburgs) “not so long ago”, so better come up with something here.
@sandman: don’t forget the cow bell around the neck and the feet in huge loafs of chees…

Looking around for an (I think) appropriate historical image I can across this tangentially related but funny one
Anyway, too much history there, wouldn’t work. Maybe if the Hapsburgs regained the Austrian throne and could send over a few regiments. Or maybe the Romansch? Nobody knows what to do with them anyway.
I wonder if he’s mad about the end of banking secrecy…?
If Gaddafi wants to break up Switzerland, he’ll have to propose this in a referrendum in each of the cantons. After extended rounds of hearings in which comment is invited from all interested citizens, of course.
Heh, that’s all Switzerland needs–another civil war.
[quote]Khadafy Nearly Killed His Interpreter At The UN
At one point during yesterday’s awesomely crazy speech by Khadafy the voice of the translator changed. I joked they had to go to the bullpen but I honestly thought it was just a shift change or something.
Turns out, the guy lost it and had to be replaced.
After struggling to turn Khadafy’s insane ramblings at the UN into English for 75 minutes, the Libyan dictator’s personal interpreter got lost in translation.
“I just can’t take it any more,” Khadafy’s interpreter shouted into the live microphone – in Arabic.
At that point, the U.N.’s Arabic section chief, Rasha Ajalyaqeen, took over and translated the final 20 minutes of the speech.
