PARIS (AP) — Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy was taken into custody Tuesday in connection with allegations that he received millions of euros in illegal campaign financing from the regime of the late Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi.

Saudi Arabia, France, where next? The untouchables seem to be losing their touch.

Was that before or after the one of Blair having that kiss and handshake with Gadaffi ?

In fairness to Gadaffi, he didn't want to shake the hand of a war criminal but he had no choice. But Gadaffi is not exactly innocent either.
At least he did warn Blair of the jihadist threat both in Syria and in Libya , which we then ignored.

(ps I do know though) that Blair did it because the day after it, BP signed a massive oil contract with Libya... unfortunatley that's the way the world works, until we can stop burning fossil fuels. Then they can eventually return to how they used to live.

Just Imagine how well Blair would be received if he acted on Gadaffi' s tip off about the
jihadist threat both in Syria and in Libya, he didnt ignore it he knew he wouldn't get the backing or finance to fix it and I'm sure the stop the war coaltion would also have a view, so he got that one right,ignore it ,albeit it cost us anyway in the long run .
I'm never sure what folk really want force or peace fixing this stuff , as its not resolved by, jaw,jaw ,but war ,war.
