In his rant Gaddafi - who has not visited the UN since he took power in 1969 - read from a yellow folder of handwritten notes and spoke about Israel, the Taliban, swine flu and the US invasion of Grenada.

He also suggested the Security Council be renamed the 'terror council' castigating it for failing to stop 65 wars since 1945.

Another Arabic interpreter emphasised with the translator's exasperation.

'He’s not exactly the most lucid speaker.

What drugs was this nut job Gaddafi on? He's a world class spacer.

TIME STOOD STILL.......and it came to pass that
Gaddafi's face stopped the clock!

It would have been far better if he has skipped thisvisit to the UN. I mean after 40 years...........WHO needed him!

He was making up for all those years of absence. Poor bloody interpreter
