Libyan leader, Colonel al-Gaddafi at U.N.
The Obama Administration plans to give $400,000 in funding, split two ways, to a Libyan charity’s from the son and daughter of Libya’s Leader Colonel Muammar Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi (also transcribed into other Western languages as Qaddafi, Gheddafi, and Khadafi, among others); this is part of the President’s request for $2.5 million in foreign aid to Libya and his two children’s funds.
U.S. Representative Mark Kirk (R-IL) caught this and immediately sprung into action, working to withdraw the plans to grant this money to the very people who publically setup the recent hero’s reception in Libya for Pan Am Flight 103 bomber Abdel Baset Megrahi; the terminally ill prisoner who was released from in Scotland on compassionate grounds. Muammar Gadhafi’s son, Saif Gadhafi was involved in negotiating for Megrahi’s release, accompanied him back to Libya, and organized tearful fan faired welcome of their hero terrorist.
The funds are to be distributed under the guise of “democracy and governance work”.
$200,000 share is set to go to the Gadhafi Development Foundation, which is run by Gadhafi’s son, Saif, and another $200,000 are to go to Wa Attassimou, an organization run by Muammar Gadhafi’s daughter, Aisha.
This funding was setup just a day before Muammar Gadhafi rambled on for over an hour and a half at the U.N. and called President Obama his “son”.
Senator Kirk wrote in a letter to the President, “Just weeks after the Gadhafi family celebrated the return of a terrorist responsible for the murders of 189 Americans, the U.S. taxpayer should not be asked to reward them with $400,000,” and he said, “For the sake of the victims’ families who have endured so much pain these last few weeks, I ask you to withdraw your Administration’s request.”
The President may be waiting to see if the public become outraged or not, or simply considering Kirk’s request, because the U.S. State Department has not issued a response to Kirk’s request.
The Gadhafi Development Foundation is described by the BBC as “a charity which tries to project a new and positive image of Libya.”
This is like the Mike Tyson giving some eight year old bully his lunch money on the playground in hopes that the bully will stop picking on him.
This will get stopped. The only thing that could top this kind of buffoonery would be for the great Apologizer in Chief to tell him that he’s sorry that he has to retract the payoff, ‘er (cough), I mean charitable grant and humanity aid.
