Gadhafi declares Holy War on Switzerland

**SwissBob** · 26-02-2010, 18:03

"After two centuries of neutrality, Switzerland found itself in a bizarre and unprecedented situation Friday, facing a would-be "holy war" announced by Libya's Moammar Gadhafi.

The Swiss government declined to comment on Gadhafi's latest salvo in a simmering diplomatic saga stemming from the Geneva police's 2008 arrest and brief detainment of his son, Hannibal, and his wife for allegedly beating up their servants." TDP link

I can't imagine downtown Geneva looking like Belfast but you never know. . .

I am glad to see he has reformed and turned so sane and reasonable after we decided to help him out by sending him the special forces to train his troops? http://www.arrse.co.uk/Forums/viewto...ght=libya.html.

The SAS shouldn't have been out there since a lot of our dead squaddies has been weapons and ammo supplied by Gaddafi, The Guy needs to calm down and get a grip.

It's one of those odd situations which could go from farce to fracas quite quickly. He took four billion out of Switzerland. That's not messing about.

Good. It's about time someone took the swiss down a peg or two, the neutral bastards.

Wow I thought this was another falklands thread for a minute

I especially like this quote from Gaddafi: "He also urged Muslims everywhere to boycott Swiss products and to bar the country's planes and ships from the airports or seaports of Muslim nations."

So no more sales of Toblerones in Libya; Do the the Swiss actually have any ships?

Think Fasnacht touched a raw nerve, this was in the Blick:

Gaddafi setzte wegen Sohnemann Hannibal gleich der ganzen Schweiz die Ã–l-Schraube an. DafÃ¼r erhielt er jetzt einen Ehrenplatz den der Luzerner Fasnacht. Abgerechnet wird stets am Schluss. (Keystone)

Nice to know that the wacky Colonel Mo G. is back in character again after his international p.r. blitz over the last decade, or so. God knows that USAF and USN would love nothing better than a repeat performance over the Skies of Tripoli...
