Italian weasel chumps.

In 2008, Libyan Foreign Minister Abdurrahman Shalgham and former Italian Foreign Minister Giulio Andreotti revealed that Italian Prime Minister Bettino Craxi alerted him [Gaddafi] of coming U.S. airstrikes on Tripoli in 1986, actually saving his life.

This is revealed in an article detailing how Gaddafi played the Italians like a Mighty Wurlitzer.

Btw, if expulsion of (subversive) Muslims isn't your cup of tea in this little civilizational death struggle we are involved in these days, note the Libyan expulsion (and expropriation) of 20,000 Italian settlers from Libya described in Mr. Molinari's article. It's sort of like a precedent, though there are others much larger and bloodier. E.g., Turkey, much as the Turks don't like to be reminded of it.

I'm just sayin'.
