Here's Dr Andrew Bostom's account:


Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, then serving as American ambassadors
to
France and Britain, respectively, met in 1786 in London with the
Tripolitan Ambassador to Britain

Utter and complete bull****

This is not only a fabrication, but is so far askew from
anything that is actual history as to make me wonder why
anybody who passed U.S. history in grammar school would
believe it for a second.

First of all, was Tripoli a sovereign country? Did the
country that we know as "Tripoli" have ambassadors in
European capitals?

If the above was true, would that ambassador have a meeting
with other ambassadors to announce that his gov't was going
to carry out piratical attacks against merchant shipping?

Try googling this phrase: "Dey of Algiers chopping down U.S.
flag pole".


Basically, this kind of farce is being used to try to sell a
bill of goods to the gullible & prejudiced. It's
advertising, like glamour shots of the "Pepsi generation,"
intended to justify & popularize unwise & impractical gov't
policy. It is a jihad of ignorance.
