He's got the face of a maniac.

Wonder how much he's syphoned off.

Scary stuff. 

"The protesters are all 16/17 yr old drug takers, "they" got them drunk and drugged

He`s still ranting - nothing`s making sense.

He`s lost it.

He`s calling for his supporters to take to the streets. 

"Road blocks tomorrow - chase them" 

There`s going to be a blood bath.

Saying he will "not use force again" is an admission that he has done so.
He seems frantic and rambling.
Talk about confirming what most people already think and digging yourself into a bigger hole....

"The punishment for protesters and looters will be execution"

Brisket. I find that these loony dictators sons more dangerous as they have been brainwashed all of their lives. Gadaffis son was blaming the BBC the other night for all whats happening in Libya.

sounds like he will do anything to stay in power im watching sky news with me mum. hes one scary man. no one knows whats going on in there with no journelists allowed, its all americas and our faults then.
on a lighter note has he got the same surgeon as pete burns. (sorry)

"All rioters will be arrested in order for them to stop taking pills" 

"I`ve issued an order for the army and the police to fire on the people"

It's probably the end of the road for him. Rather like that Sadaam Hussein one, we've done our best to keep him in power, given him guns n stuff, and now things are getting rocky we'll let him fall, and then deal with the next one.

I think he has always seemed crackers Brisket.... in the  most dangerous of ways...

According to the latest news....

Young people were dragged out of their homes by security forces and forced to wave flags during his speech..... 

Anyone who`s relative died in the mayhem will not be able to collect their body from the hospital for burial unless they sign a form confirming "accidental death"

According to the BBC on Twitter he has just said that he will cleanse Libya house by house if protestors do not surrender.

 

 
 
 

he's always been mad and bad. in the 70's he set up training camps where the ira could learn how to blow up london/manchester/birmingham , i have no  idea why tony blair had a  jolly over to libya a few years back and cuddled the bloke, indicating all was forgiven.

expediency i 'spose..

he ranted on tv(al jezeera) about the tunisian uprising, and  stated that  it was all set by the west, that the western journalists were involved(which is why some were attacked in both tunisia and egypt) and if they overthrew  ben ali  then they would have no peace and   women would be raped and children slaughtered and they'd all  die  in a bloodbath....

he knew then if uprising succeeded there  it would'nt be toollong before  his turn came.

at least in that , he was right.

I think that the reason Toners cuddled him is because of expedience.
We have a long history of supporting strong leaders of stable countries, and that's what he has been up till recently.
This is the big one though. If his government (sic) fails through people power then some of the most oppressive regimes of all may fall. The people of Syria, Iran, and Saudi Arabia may fancy a crack at is aswell. Unless of course and in order to avoid destabilisation, the arab states and/or Iran decide to suggest that Israel may attack them in order to unite the people, and defend themselves against Israel in advance, thus plunging the middle east and surrounding areas into a thermo-nuclear war, which may escalate........ I should imagine, although to be fair I'm not an expert.

I bet he's a member of this place.

He scares the $hit out of me, always has

I doubt it Soops. I'd back a smoggie such as yerself in hand ter hand combat with him mind but.

I listen to 5live almost for 24 hours (minus the few hours I'm asleep) and I've been crying listening to some of the eyewitness accounts that don't get as far as the national news. I.e. a woman called the station this morning to tell about 60 people who had been persuaded inside a compound only to be mowed down by snipers and the bodies thrown out into the street. This has been witnessed by thousands of people who where waiting for the outcome of the 'conciliatory talks'. Just now on the news a man is crying because his young female relative has been shot dead because she went onto the balcony of her flat. Somebody use a sniper on Gadaffi please. Surely it's possible.

proper belly laughed at that

LOL GJ...Seriously 'though the whole thing is getting v v scary now.(My bil works out there, has done for over 30 years, thankfully he's on his 'month off' ......fancy he'll be having a v v v long holiday)

There's some heart-breaking stories Col'

He's always been ranting though. I remember him in a tent in the dessert, ranting like the mad man he is. Why can't this country do something? He's as bad as Saddam. The UN don't seem to have a mandate to interfere. FTH?

I'm sure they'll all be OK. I've known loads out there, there was a vast number went from "The Wairks"  when I was working!

I agree that Gaddafi is as mad as a box of frogs, and is clearly very dangerous, but what right does the UK have to interfere in yet another country's politics, however bad the situation might be.  The UK is already involved in the highly dubious conflict in Afghanistan and the illegal war in Iraq, and we can hardly get involved in a third war.

They (we) arm them then get on the high horse when it goes nipples up.

Thanks VD, the hypocracy of it all is beyond belief, that's what I was trying to say growly.

I also have to say what the F has what is going on in the middle east got to do with us FFS?  OR America?    If we were at war with France, I wouldn't expect bloody Dubai to stick their beak in.

Bentleys.

CC, I don't agree. The state of other countries has always and will always be a concern of Britain and the rest of the world. We work conjointly, thank the Lord. If we don't we will go down, that's the way it is.

Oil and couscous prices both up 

Oil and couscous might be a pawn, but I think there is a bit more at stake in Libya.

We ain't got such a good record in 'sorting the middle east out'; maybe it's best if we keep our nose out.

the mess in the middle east was our fecking fault in the  first place..

now is the time to keep our  beaks out and allow people the dignity of determining their own destiny.

It was your fault in the first place but keeping you 'beak' out is not an option. Get in there and understand that these people have been your underdogs until the 60s and giving some sort of vague freedom which was not controlled by Britain which is why we've ended up with numerous countries revolting. Good.

Do you seriously think the ordinary Libyan people would welcome our army invading their country?

I'm not talking about our army going in there, but I am talking about keeping Facebook, hotmail and twitter alive so that people can talk to us and convey the carnage that is happening in the country.

The guy is a nutter ,he's not called the butcher of Tripoli for nothing.
As for dying a martyr ,my ass.Gaddafi will be making plans to flee,probably to Cuba or Venezuela and live a life of luxury.

Scotland and America should be able to intervene, he should be held accountable for the Lockerbie bombing.

The family of PC Fletcher would also like to see him held accountable for their loss, when they bombed the Embassy.
