TRIPOLI (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush has written Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi saying Washington wants to strengthen ties with Libya, Libyan news agency Jana reported.

The news agency said Bush's homeland security adviser, Frances Townsend, handed Gaddafi the letter when she met him in Tripoli late on Monday.

"We have achieved a great deal since we restored relations between the United States and Libya. I believe both our peoples have benefited from the development of these relations," Jana quoted Bush as saying in the letter.

Jana said: "President Bush affirmed in his letter the willingness of the United States to develop and reinforce its relations with Libya."

Curious and Lonely

Lots of it.

Carry on.

9. So is Muammar officially NOT a terrorist now?

'Cause Our Glorious Leader George Bush would never consort with terra-ists, no sirree.

[BushOut06]

16. Nope, he's been replaced by Hugo Chavez

Funny how that works, ain't it? Get rid of one "bad guy", only to replace him with another one.

[bleedingheart]

10. apparently a portion of hell has frozen over...

to think...that Bush of all people is courting little ole terrorist nation Libya...bwahahahahaha

[Hideboh]

11. I believe

Bush doesn't know where libya is.

[Doctor_J]

12. OMFG. Reagan's "World Enemy #1" is being wooed by Littleboots.

I wonder if Muammar has forgiven us for killing his daughter 20 years ago.

[Maeve]

13. I'm reminded of the story of the frog and the scorpion

Where the scorpion asks the frog to take him across the river and then kills him halfway across because "it's who I am", even though the scorpion dies as well.

The only thing is...I'm not sure which is the frog.

[Haole Girl]

14. There are no words to sufficiently describe what an idiot * is. nt

[Odin2005]

15. Gee, didn't * say he didn't deal with terrorists?

I'm guessing the folks of Lockerbie, Scotland are thrilled with this (NOT). :eyes:

[0007]

23. ...I was just thinking the same thing.

Bet Bill O'Reilly thinks this is indeed a smooth and cunning move.

18. * chats up his new pal goffy-goff

Hi, Goffy. George here. Need some help in Middle East, you mighta heard. Saddam used to be friend, now evildoer. Dead evildoer. You used to be evildoer, now friend.

Sorry bout that thing with yer daughter. No civilians killed in my war. Trust me - saved you years of problems.

Wanna be pals with me & Poland? Come on to the ranch next month - I'll be there grieving over dead soldiers and celebrating how the surge is working. And reading PDB's once a week or so. Should be a load of fun. You can bring a gun!

Hope to see you in Crawford (a lot quieter this year!)

As ever,
G

19. "don't make me frag your one-year-olds like St. Ronnie did"

[mainer]

20. Wasn't Muammar in a coma not that long ago?

I thought he had a brain hemorrhage or stroke or something. Has he recovered?

[Vidar]

21. Fucking nuts & totally immoral, these two are made for one another.

[merh]

22. Isn't Libya a terrorist nation

Isn't it still on the U.S. list of state sponsors of international terrorism

Are we going to be negotiating with terrorists again? (Or rather have we ever stopped just picking and choosing which ones we want to encourage and support those we need, only when we need 'em?)
