Rice seals Libyan reconciliation
Yet another foreign policy debacle for the Bush administration to hang its head in shame over.
TRIPOLI - US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice held a landmark meeting with Libyan leader Moamer Gathafi to seal a reconciliation with the former US enemy.
Rice said Saturday before leaving that the United States and Libya had decided "to move forward in a positive way" and deal "as well as we can with issues of the past."
The first US secretary of state to visit Tripoli in 55 years exchanged gifts with Gathafi -- he gave her a lute instrument and she presented a shield with the department's coat of arms.
Rice declared: "After many, many years it is a good thing that the US and Libya found a way forward." She praised some "strategic choices" made by Libya.
Last year, Gathafi proclaimed his love for "Leezza," telling Al-Jazeera television: "I support my darling black African woman. I admire and am very proud of the way she leans back and gives orders to the Arab leaders."
Solid props and a Lute gift? Shit man, just come out and say it, you want to marry Condi.
