Now Colonel Gaddafi wants to 'abolish' Switzerland

[Lagomorph]

Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi is set to ask the United Nations to 'abolish' Switzerland and share the land among its neighbouring countries.

The eccentric dictator has filed a motion with the U.N. saying the Alpine state should be wiped off the map and split among France, Italy and Germany.

Gaddafi is set to present his bizarre plan when Libya takes over the year-long presidency of the U.N. general Assembly on September 15.

He first mentioned his idea at the G8 summit in Italy in July. 'Switzerland is a world mafia and not a state,' he said.

'It is formed of an Italian community that should return to Italy, another German community that should return to Germany, and a third French community that should return to France.'

2. "a world mafia" - interesting.

Switzerland is a world mafia

4. The Swiss Banks, Yes...The Swiss People, No...

I hate to admit Gadaffi's onto something here. Swiss banks have long been the dark underbelly of high finance. It's not just their role in the current banking collapse but goes back to its money laundering during both World Wars and the expropriation of Jewish property without any accounting until they were forced to pay restitution to the survivors. Want to make a million dollars vanish? Swiss bank accounts hold billions in stolen money safely sheltered for the Madoffs and the other financial "wizards" to go running to once the heat is off.

[Orsino]

13. If we don't stop the Swiss hegemony now...

...the smoking gun could come in the form of a chocolate cuckoo clock. :shrug:

[smirkymonkey]

15. I spent a night in a Swiss prison for reckless skiing and they

force-fed me cheese fondue. It was brutal!

[Stevenmarc]

16. A perfect opportunity for the Swiss to come out with a Gaddafi Cuckoo clock

[LeftishBrit]

17. With Gaddafi jumping out at regular intervals to say "Cuckoo! Cuckoo!"...

yes, that might work.
