卡扎菲住所惊现赖斯相册

　　A bizarre photograph album filled page to page with pictures of Condoleezza Rice has been found at the compound of Colonel Gaddafi。

　　As citizens ransacked the sprawling lair, a number of unusual items have been looted。

　　Perhaps the most surprising, however, was the album, filled with glossy pictures of America's former Secretary of State。

　　Colonel Gaddafi had previously hinted at a serious admiration for Rice。

　　In an interview with Al-Jazeera television in 2007, he hinted that then-President George W. Bush's top diplomat wielded considerable influence in the Arab world。

　　'I support my darling black African woman,' he said at the time. 'I admire and am very proud of the way she leans back and gives orders to the Arab leaders. ... Leezza, Leezza, Leezza. ... I love her very much. I admire her, and I'm proud of her, because she's a black woman of African origin.'

　　The following year, Gaddafi and Rice had an opportunity to meet when the secretary of state paid a historic visit to Libya - one that made steps toward normalising relations after the United States went decades without an ambassador in Tripoli。

　　She said during the trip that the U.S. 'doesn't have any permanent enemies.'

　　Gaddafi welcomed Rice in his home - one that President Ronald Reagan once ordered bombed in retaliation for Libya's attack on a German disco - for the traditional meal that ends the daylight fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan。

　　Once again, he repeatedly addressed Rice - known as 'Condi' to her friends - as 'Leezza'。

　　During the visit, he presented Rice with a diamond ring, a lute, a locket with an engraved likeness of himself inside and an inscribed edition of The Green Book'。

　　Together, thehaul was worth $212,000.

　　利比亚反对派在洗劫卡扎菲住所时发现了他珍藏的“赖斯相册”，里面贴满了康多莉扎?赖斯的照片，令人惊异。

　　平民们扫荡他的面积巨大的住所时，将一些非同寻常的物品也洗劫一空。

　　但最令人大跌眼镜的是那个装满了美国前国务卿赖斯靓照的相册。

　　卡扎菲之前就曾暗示他非常仰慕赖斯。

　　在2007年接受半岛电视台采访时，他就暗示当时的布什总统的首席外交官赖斯在阿拉伯世界发挥着举足轻重的影响。

　　他当时说：“我支持这位亲爱的黑人非洲女性。我非常欣赏她微微后仰着对阿拉伯领导发号施令的样子，真让我感到骄傲……莉扎，莉扎，莉扎……我非常爱她。我钦佩她，为她感到骄傲，因为她是一个有非洲血统的黑人女性。”

　　第二年，赖斯以国务卿的身份对利比亚进行了历史性的访问，两人有缘相见——此次访问使两国邦交正常化更近了一步，此前几十年美国一直都没有向利比亚首都的黎波里派驻大使。

　　赖斯在此次访问中说：“美国没有永远的敌人”。
