Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was appointed 'King of Kings' of Africa on the occasion of an unannounced meeting between a few dozens of African tribe leaders held yesterday evening in Benghazi, in east Libya.A great way to gain some gifts, but wouldn't it have been better to have done something worthwhile to earn such a title. but with Gaddafi, anything is possible and by his rule will be done.
"We decide the recognition of our brother leader as 'king of kings, of sultans, of princes, of sheikhs and of mayors of Africa' and his appointment 'king of kings' from today," a final statement of the 'forum' which gathered over 200 African tribe leaders on initiative of the Libyan leader, reads.
"The forum of the kings, princes, sultans and sheikhs of the traditional tribes in Africa," which from now on will meet every year, also decided the creation of a permanent secretariat general, whose seat will be in Sirte, Libya.
The Libyan leader, in his turn, invited the tribal leaders to take their responsibilities in the capacity of local leaders "to put pressure on the governments of their countries in view of Africàs unification and the creation of the United States of Africa", whose architect is Gaddafi. "I incite the tribes to move quickly and to put pressure for the creation of the United States of Africa," he said during a speech, adding that he has allotted funds for those who will pursue this goal.
Dressed in animal leather and feathers, with crowns of massive gold on their heads, the tribe leaders followed one another on the tribune with their traditional coloured clothes to "praise the efforts of the Leader" of the Libyan revolution for the unification of Africa and to offer their congratulations on the occasion of the 39th anniversary of the revolution on September 1, 1969 when he rose to power. Gaddafi was given 'a royal throne', a Koran of the 18th century, ostrich eggs, traditional clothes and products of the local handicraft.

All Hail the King!
This is the year of hubris. If it isn't the Anointed One, Barack Hussein Obama and his Audacity of Hope message, it is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his message of anti-Semitism and world destruction. But this one does both of them better.

Very interesting transition Gaddafi has made once again. I understand that now he is in good favor with the U.S. since he supposedly is sharihg some intelligence with us. This too will pass I'm sure.
