Is Condoleezza Rice the Object of Moammar Gadhafi's Affection?

In summary, it has been revealed that Moammar Ghadafi had a photo album with pictures of Condoleezza Rice, whom he admired and loved. This was confirmed in an interview on Al-Jazeera in 2007, where he also praised her for being a black woman of African origin. However, it is also noted that Rice received expensive gifts from Ghadafi. Despite his initial admiration, it is likely that his feelings towards her have changed due to current events. Interestingly, Ghadafi also had praise for President Obama, possibly due to his African heritage. This revelation has caused some controversy, with some questioning the sincerity of Ghadafi's words. However, it seems that Ghadafi was genuinely fond of Rice

Did you see that Gadhafi had a photo album with photos of Condoleeza Rice? :smile: THAT is funny! I wonder how Rice feels about all of this.

It seems that Gadhafi was indeed quite enamored with Rice. This is a quote from an interview on-Al Jazeera, back in 2007.

“I support my darling black African woman,” he said. “I admire and am very proud of the way she leans back and gives orders to the Arab leaders. I love her very much. I admire her, and I’m proud of her, because she’s a black woman of African origin,” Moammar Ghadafi added.

It was FUNNY, ... until,
It also noted that Condoleezza Rice received gifts worth $212,000 from Moammar Ghadafi.

Edit: I'm sure she had paid the gift tax to the IRS.

He had similar praise for Obama, for the U.S. having elected him. He may be attracted to her, but any African in the most powerful administration in the world probably interests him significantly.

He probably isn't thrilled with Obama at the moment. :biggrin:

Also, I doubt it was "similar praise". He said he loves Condi. That is very unusual.

A million bajillion bumper stickers here in the U.S. disagree.

Condi may appreciate that for about thirteen years, we had a cat named in honor of Gadhafi - Moammar Sheepdip the Filth [officially].
