NEW YORK – Officials in New York City and New Jersey are moving quickly to pressure Libyan leader Col. Muammar Gadhafi to cancel his upcoming visit to the United Nations.
"It wouldn't surprise me if he (Gadhafi) cancels," confided one New York City official who has met with the Libyans.
In fact, the official insisted that city hall will do nothing to facilitate a Gadhafi visit to the Big Apple. That means that the "colonel" may have a hard time finding a place to "pitch" his infamous "tent."
The so-called "Bedouin tent" is a traveling, makeshift, desert-style hamlet set up to receive Gadhafi's official "guests." Gadhafi is expected to speak at the U.N. on Sept. 23, but it is not known when he will arrive. The upcoming visit would be the first for the headline-grabbing Libyan leader to the U.S.
Negotiations between Tripoli and New York had been going on for more than a month, but have gone "nowhere," officials said.
Press Secretary Robert Corrales said the governor feels: "There should be no room in New Jersey for anyone who embraces convicted terrorists. Compassion should be given to the Lockerbie bombing victims and their families, not murderers."

No fruit basket for you, Gadhafi!

His visit, on the heels of the Lockerbie Killer/Terrorist being freed is tantamount to a slap in the face of Americans.

....and reason enough for Obama to invite him for a stay at the Whitehouse.
Just guessing about that but I'd bet a Coca-Cola on it or any adult beverage.

If only we had gotten him back in 1986...

Symbolism....Afterall, he is a democrat.

Let's not forget that Muammar Gadhafi is a dictator like Hugo Chavez, Kin Jong-Il, and Raul Castro. They are all socialists like him. Libya's official name is Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya and Gadhafi got power through a coup and started a revolusion.

Frorm the article:
Rothman was mayor of Englewood 26 years ago when the city learned the Libyan Mission to the United Nations had purchased the Palisade Avenue estate. He said local officials worked out a deal with the U.S. State Department limiting its use to the recreational activities by the ambassador and his family. The Libyans don't pay taxes on the estate, he said.
because it's "under construction"?

Only problem is that under the UN Charter, if he wants to come address the UN General Assemby, we have to let him have a visa and let him in the US.
We don't have to kiss his ass through. Let him and his caravan of vehicles sit the traffic jam each morning to go through the Lincoln Tunnel
