Colonel Gaddafi Attacks UN Security Council

Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi has launched a scathing attack on the United Nations Security Council, calling it the "terror council".
He's the terrorist!
Senior US figures, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and American ambassador to the UN Susan Rice, had left the chamber before his speech.
She did the RIGHT thing ---- woo hoo!
he gave a rambling speech that lasted more than an hour.
When did you ever hear one of these terrorists get up there and say anything coherent. To call them crazy would be insulting the insane asylums.
He demanded fundamental changes to the United Nations, likening the General Assembly to Speakers' Corner in London's Hyde Park where anyone is free to air their views.
Just like a terrorist tyrant
He said: "Superpowers have interests and they use the power of the United Nations to protect their interests. The third world is terrified and being terrorised and living in fear."
More like they are scared that they will be found out before they can finish the job.
Mr Gaddafi told the assembly he was speaking "in the name of 1,000 African kingdoms" and said the $7.77trn figure was what Africa deserved
He warned: "The Africans will call for that and if you don't give that amount - $7.77trn - the Africans will go to where you have taken these trillions. They have the right and they will bring the money back."
He going in for the shake down. I wonder what the leverage is going to be? I think that they are copying the tactics of the Sharpton types
He praised US President Barack Obama, saying he wished he could be president for life
And he defended the Taliban, saying that if it wanted to establish a religious state in Afghanistan it should be allowed to, adding: "Does the Vatican constitute a danger against us? No."
So, now we know who the ME’s think that Obama’s on the side of. Stick Honduras in there too. Obama is on the side of the communists there too. The congressionally ousted president has been given the wink wink to return by the North American Communists in power. Obama is a full fledged communist. He has always been one. It’s a lie that America was always somewhat socialist. I have heard that argument lately. That argument is for people who have no concept of history. This country has had checks on government, but that doesn’t equate to socialism, it is to deter it. That’s called responsible oversight.

Who Packed Your Parachute?
An excerpt from Aim for the Heart
By Tom Mathews
As a leader, do you honor and appreciate the power of WE? Do you stop to thank and recognize the members of your team? Do you consistently show an attitude of gratitude?
I recently read a great story about Captain Charles Plumb, a graduate from the Naval Academy, whose plane, after 74 successful combat missions over North Vietnam, was shot down. He parachuted to safety, but was captured, tortured and spent 2,103 days in a small box-like cell.
After surviving the ordeal, Captain Plumb received the Silver Star, Bronze Star, the Legion of Merit and two Purple Hearts, and returned to America and spoke to many groups about his experience and how it compared to the challenges of every day life.
Shortly after coming home, Charlie and his wife were sitting in a restaurant. A man rose from a nearby table, walked over and said, "You're Plumb! You flew jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk. You were shot down!"
Surprised that he was recognized, Charlie responded, "How in the world did you know that?" The man replied, "I packed your parachute." Charlie looked up with surprise. The man pumped his hand, gave a thumbs-up, and said, "I guess it worked!"
Charlie stood to shake the man's hand, and assured him, "It most certainly did work. If it had not worked, I would not be here today."
Charlie could not sleep that night, thinking about the man. He wondered if he might have seen him and not even said, "Good morning, how are you?" He thought of the many hours the sailor had spent bending over a long wooden table in the bottom of the ship, carefully folding the silks and weaving the shrouds of each chute, each time holding in his hands the fate of someone he didn't know.
Plumb then began to realize that along with the physical parachute, he needed mental, emotional and spiritual parachutes. He had called on all these supports during his long and painful ordeal.
As a leader, how many times a day, a week, a month, do we pass up the opportunity to thank those people in our organization who are "packing our parachutes?"
