Warning from history: Libya’s Colonel Gaddafi warns Arab leaders of Washington’s betrayal

Warning from history: Libya’s Colonel Gaddafi warns Arab leaders of Washington’s betrayal At the 2008 Arab League summit in Damascus, Muammar Gaddafi warned fellow Arab leaders that the US would abandon them as it had Saddam Hussein, a former close ally, to impose its will. “A foreign force occupies an Arab country and hangs its leader while we are looking and laughing,“ he says, according to the clip’s translation. “In the future it is going to be your turn, too,“ he adds. Notably, Syria’s Bashar al-Assad is among those in the audience and appears to laugh - although editing to the clip makes it unclear if he’s chuckling at Gaddafi’s warning. #ArabLeague Source: RT News
