German magazine Der Spiegel just landed a rare interview with Moammar al-Gadaffi. They've helpfully posted it in English on their website.

And, while your humble correspondent normally tries to avoid curse words in journalism... he must say the following:

Moammar al-Gadaffi is a fuckload of crazy. He's also wily as a fox.

That is a deadly combination.

What did we learn from Der Spiegel's interview?

1. Gadaffi thinks the Swiss government is a "mafia." He then accused Switzerland of murdering Swiss citizens and foreigners involved in financial irregularities:

Gadaffi: I'm talking now about Switzerland. Switzerland is a state that stands outside the international community. It is not bound by any EU regulations. It is good that it joined the United Nations in 2002, but the whole time before that it was not a member. Why? It wanted to stand above international law. And that has made Switzerland into a mafia. Money is laundered on a grand scale in Switzerland. Anyone who robs a bank later invests the money in Switzerland. Anyone who evades taxes goes to Switzerland. Anyone who wants to deposit money in secret accounts goes to Switzerland. And a large number of owners of such secret accounts have died under mysterious circumstances.

Spiegel: Excuse me?

Gadaffi: Yes, Switzerland is behind it all.

2. Gadaffi refuses to take responsibility for Max Goldi. We don't have time to get into it here, but Goldi is a Swiss engineer who was thrown into a Libyan jail in retribution for Gaddafi's son being arrested in Switzerland in 2008 for domestic violence. That incident was also the apparent start of Gadaffi's Swissophobia:

Spiegel: And now Swiss national Max Göldi, who has absolutely nothing to do with this, has to pay for your anger against Switzerland? A man whose visa allegedly expired, who has not been able to leave Libya for nearly two years and has been in prison for months. Why are you doing nothing for him?

Gadaffi: Only the courts can decide on this.

Spiegel: Do you mean to tell us that you don't have the power to pardon him?

Gadaffi: This is a matter for the legal system.

3. Gadaffi claims Switzerland legalized assisted suicide in order to get their hands on sweet, sweet money... and that it is a good reason to dismantle the country of Switzerland.

And this brings me back once again to the phenomenon of assisted suicide. A large number of people have been deliberately eliminated under this pretext. Switzerland maintains that these individuals expressed the desire to take their lives. But in reality it was done to get at their money. More than 7,000 people have died like this. I am thus calling for Switzerland to be dissolved as a state. The French part should go to France, the Italian part to Italy and the German part to Germany.

4. Speaking of Hannibal Gadaffi, Moammar thinks he is a good boy. Period.

Gadaffi: The thing with Hannibal has been nothing but a source of enjoyment for Switzerland. This is a gang that doesn't care about law and order. The way they treated Hannibal proves that Switzerland respects no laws. A man employed by my son brought accusations against him so that he could remain in Switzerland. They can lock him up - but please do so within the law. The police acted like a gang. They were dressed in plain clothes and they broke down the door, put my son in chains and brought his wife to a hospital. They left his daughter, who is one or two years old, alone back at the hotel. Then they put him handcuffed in a cold storage room, and at times in a bathroom - exactly the way al-Qaida treats its victims. An act of terrorism.

Keep in mind that Hannibal Gadaffi was arrested for assaulting two of his servants in public.

4. Gadaffi's "closest friend" in Europe is Silvio Berlusconi.

Gadaffi: My closest friend in Europe is Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, but a few others are also close to me.

Spiegel: What do you think of German Chancellor Angela Merkel?

Gadaffi: She is a strong personality. More like a man than a woman. But I have never had a conversation with her.

5. Gadaffi likes Obama's approch to Iran:

Spiegel: If you were to advise Obama: How should he proceed with Iran?

Gadaffi: He is taking a very reasonable approach. He is using diplomacy, is not threatening to use violence, military nor terror, as the others did - Reagan, for instance.

6. Gadaffi is still on for his "Palestinians and Israelis living in one big happy house called Isratine" project:

Either the Dimona nuclear facility in Israel will be removed, and a democratic state for everyone will emerge with no differences between Palestinians and Israelis, or war and strife will continue. Then Israel will be the loser and will disappear like a grain of sand in the sea.

It must be handed to Gadaffi - he isn't a boring interview.

Farsi amici i governi della propria area geopolitica è cosa estremamente saggia, anche se va a urtare certe sensibilità atlantiche.

Ma tanto, quando Berlusconi va in missione in Iraq a guerra finita è un suddito degli USA, quando fa una politica autonoma nel nostro "giardino di casa" sbaglia comunque.

Siete patetici.
