In her new memoir Condoleezza Rice recalls a creepy 2008 meeting with then-Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi that ended with Qaddafi showing her photos of herself he had collected and a serenade of a song he had a famous Libyan composer write for her.Why commission a new composition when the tune needed to express his feelings for Rice already existed?âWhat was going through my head was âHow long do I have to sit here and how quickly can I get out of here?â You know, it was funny because when he said, âI have a video for you,â I thought, âOh my goodness, what is this going to be?â But it was actually just a bunch of pictures of me with Vladimir Putin, me with Hu Jintao,â Rice tells ABC Newsâ George Stephanopoulos in an interview planned for next week. âAnd then he said, âI have Libyaâs best composer, most famous composer write this song for you,â and it was called âBlack Flower in the White House.ââ
If you saw the writing on the wall and hightailed it to Zimbabwe, you'd be alive today and enjoying Rice's new book, No Higher Honor. You also would not have been sodomized by your captors.
