Gaddafi: Europe will 'turn black' unless EU pays Libya

Col Muammar Gaddafi has warned that Europe runs the risk of turning “black” unless the EU pays Libya at least €5 billion (£4.1 billion) a year to block the arrival of illegal immigrants from Africa.His remarks, made during a controversial three day visit to Italy, were condemned as “unacceptable blackmail” by Italian MPs, who likened the demand to the protection money that mafia gangs demand from businesses. Speaking at a ceremony in Rome while standing next to Silvio Berlusconi, Italy’s prime minister, Col Gaddafi, 67, said that unless his request for money was met, Europe would otherwise become “another Africa” as a result of the “advance of millions of immigrants.”  Go To: millions of immigrants

Here we go. If true it sounds like blackmail to me. To tell the truth I wasn't aware that he had his hands on the valve of the flow of illegals into the EU. But I have wonder why the US made a Sadam/Hitler out of him and then all of the sudden he was an friend again. He has always a little nuts.
