In a speech laced with lies and conspiracy theories, Libyan dictator Moammar Khadafy gave a long, rambling talk today at the United Nations — blasting the world body for failing to prevent “65 aggressive wars” and calling the delegates a bunch of terrorists.
“It should not be called the Security Council, it should be called the ‘Terror Council,’” said Khadafy, who has sponsored terrorism over the past 30 years.
Khadafy bankrolled acts of terrorism like the 1988 Lockerbie bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Scotland that killed 243 passengers.
During his 1 1/2-hour long diatribe, a ranting Khadafy grandstanded before a world TV audience, blaming the UN General Assembly for failing to prevent wars around the world since it was founded in 1945.
“Sixty-five aggressive wars took place without any collective action by the United Nations to prevent them,” he said.
The incoherent Khadafy, like other world leaders, was only allotted 20 minutes to speak.
Khadafy laid out a yellow folder packed with pages of handwritten notes — opening it to scant applause before delivering his speech.
Speaking in Arabic in his first appearance ever at the UN, Khadafy — who wore a shiny black pin in the shape of Africa pinned over his heart on his brown and tan robe — said the use of military power was contrary to the spirit of the United Nations.
During his speech, the tyrant from Tripoli also welcomed President Obama as the leader of the host nation for the UN’s Midtown headquarters and hailed his maiden speech.
Khadafy then railed against the “inequality” of UN member states, then quoted from a copy of the United Nations Charter that calls for equality of nations. At one point, he even tore the small book in a sign of disrespect.
Khadafy, who has ruled the North African country since he took power in a military coup in 1969, ironically pointed out that five nations hold veto power on the Security Council and can block actions contrary to their interests — the US, Russia, China, Great Britain and France.
At another point, Khadafy even complained about the UN being in New York and the jet lag he, and other world leaders, had to endure to get here.
Khadafy also talked about the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King and whined that the Taliban had nothing to do with the Sept. 11 because the planes “left from Kennedy Airport, not Afghanistan.”
None of the four jetliners involved in the terror attack left from the Queens airport.
Before his speech, the General Assembly was temporarily out of order just minutes before Khadafy took to the podium.
After about 10 minutes, the gathering finally came to order — although many members were spotted walking out — as Khadafy entered the large hall to speak during the world body’s opening session.
Although Obama was not there to listen to Khadafy’s nutty speech, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, was in the half-empty chamber, which grew sparser with each passing minute.
