Condoleezza Rice: Muammar Gaddafi Made Me An 'Eerie' Scrapbook, Original Song

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice sat down with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos for a recent interview and described a "really strange" meeting she had in 2008 with former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, who was killed last week in his hometown of Sirte.

ABC News relays the discussion:

"What was going through my head was 'How long do I have to sit here and how quickly can I get out of here?' You know, it was funny because when he said, 'I have a video for you,' I thought, 'Oh my goodness, what is this going to be?' But it was actually just a bunch of pictures of me with Vladimir Putin, me with Hu Jin Tao," [Rice] told me. "And then he said, 'I have Libya’s best composer, most famous composer write this song for you,' and it was called Black Flower in the White House," she told me, calling the scrapbook "eerie."

It's not Rice's first mention of the "eerie" obsession that Gaddafi seemed to have with her. In a recent advance excerpt of her book, "No Higher Honor," Rice writes that her first trip to Libya was preceded by Gaddafi "asking visitors why his 'African princess' wouldn't visit him." In her book, she also describes the personal song that had been composed for her as "weird" but not "raunchy."

Rice's personal descriptions of her own encounters with Gaddafi aren't the only evidence that the Libyan leader may have been infatuated with her. When rebels raided Gaddafi's compound in August, they found a photo album filled with pictures of her.

More of ABC News' interview with Rice will be aired Oct. 31 on "Nightline" and on "Good Morning America" Tuesday morning. Rice's book, "No Higher Honor," is set to hit bookshelves Nov. 1.

Wow this is a bit creepy but its a known fact that some men from the middle east are sometimes attracted to darker women. but some are just as chauvinist and racist as ever . I am not ammused by this but i am surprised that someone like gaddafi could be the kind of evil , cruel dictator they claimed him to be . I have a bit of info for people that really want to know what is going on. Dont go by what is put out there because alot of things have been covered and changed to deceive and control the masses .: http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/

I have my questions regarding this whole Libya situation myself, it goes back to when Louis Farrakhan called out Obama on his actions to go to war with Libya.

That's not nearly as creepy as Bush and Rice romancing this terrorist dictator to rehab his image. Now that's disgusting!

Fortunately, Obama fixed the situation.

The only man I've ever heard mention in connection with Rice was former NFL wr Gene Washington who played for the 1970s San Francisco 49ers ! I think they may have been a couple many moons ago.

For the life of me, I can't seem to figure out what Gaddafi saw in Rice that was so attractive to him ! She looks like a mud duck !

Steve Earle also wrote a kind of infatuation song about her. Perhaps there's something alluring about Condoleeza Ricepacket that I don't get...

Does he have a crush on her? The question is, did he? In the past cause right about now he doesn't have a crush period, he's dead!

Did she mention the nature of the visit? Why was she there in the first place? A little digging maty reveal a weapons deal. I believe she pulled him along, maybe to secure a weapons deal. It went a litttle like this:
Condi: I realley like you to Mommar. Can I put you down for a dozen F16's.
Mommar: Certainly by black flower.

Their romance would have never worked. He’s Muslim, she’s Christian. She’s black, he’s crazy.
