To the city of Bedford, New York: Let Qaddafi set up his goddamn tents! From the BBC:

The erection of the tent "violated several codes and laws of the town of Bedford", attorney Joel Sachs says. It also emerged the Bedouin-style tent was being set up on property rented from real estate mogul Donald Trump. Col Qaddafi had reportedly planned to use the tent for entertaining during the UN General Assembly in New York.

Libyan officials have so far not publicly commented on the issue. Col Qaddafi - who arrived in New York on Tuesday - traditionally shuns official residences during his trips abroad.

Update: Qaddafi's statement at the UN General Assembly's opening ceremony went just about as well as his attempt set up this tents in Bedford. How bad was it? He called the UN Security Council the "Terror Council."     

Update 2: Foreign Policy has pictures of Qaddafi's meltdown here.
