Qadaffy Unflinching
2011-03-24
[Tolo News] Despite continuing air attacks on Libya, Col Qadaffy has made a defiant address to his supporters pledging victory.
Thugs usually do that right before the decamp...
Col Qadaffy has urged "all Islamic armies" to join him.
In Switzerland...
His offspring have caused trouble in Switzerland before. If they're wise they won't take him.
Speaking at a recently bombed site, President Qadaffy said he and his supporters will be victorious in the end.
Unless they get bombed again in which case they'll do lunch in Zurich...
The site, Bab al-Aziziya, was bombed on Sunday.

Meanwhile,
...back at the shouting match...
a US warplane crashed in Libya Tuesday, killing six villagers. The crewmen were reportedly rescued.

In his recent TV address, Qadaffy has described the intervention as a new crusader war against Islam.
Mo conveniently found religion last week...
That happens to people sometimes when the reality of air attacks hit home close by. Or so I'm told ...
Describing the people as the most powerful air defence, Col Qadaffy has said Libyan people will not fear the missile attacks and fight on.
As long as Qadaffy has a gun in their backs...
Meanwhile the United States is trying to transfer its leading role in Libya. La Belle France fears that the Arab World will not welcome a Nato lead.

Turkey has urged limits on Nato involvement expressing concern that the strikes have already exceeded the resolution.

#2  ION PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > [UN IMF]GADDAFI HAS 150 TONNES OF GOLD [Personal wealth], CAN PAY MERCENARIES FOR YEARS,

Gaddafi's gold cache is mostly safely stored + secured away in his Tripoli base = Libyuh, far from the clutches of the UNO + NATO-EU.

#1  Arab coups either work immediately, or don't work at all. By now "the rebels" are beginning to fight each other.
