Muammar Gaddafi could 'stop support for anti-terror war'
2011-03-11
MUAMMAR Gaddafi has threatened Europe with the withdrawal of Libyan support for the international war on terror and to prevent illegal migration.
I have an idea: why don't we help the Libyan freedom fighters kill him?
If "Europe does not support, and ignores, the active role of Libya in the fight against migration and as guarantor of stability in North Africa and all of Africa, Libya will be obliged ... to withdraw its efforts in the battle against terrorism and completely change its stance toward al-Qaeda," said a message Jana reported was signed by Gaddafi.

Gaddafi, who is battling a nearly four-week-old rebellion to unseat him, has repeatedly accused al-Qaeda of being behind it, and has said Libya is capable of beating the terrorists who "want to transform it into Somalia."

Tripoli will also cease its "support against clandestine migration in which millions of blacks flow into Europe."

Libya has increasingly become a key transit country for illegal migrants headed for Europe from North and sub-Saharan Africa.

The message was addressed to leaders of European Union countries who are meeting in Brussels on Friday to consider what measures to take to up the pressure on Gaddafi to step down.

#2  First thingys come first -IMO he is indeed anticipating a future, but not necessarily guaranteed or certain, formal breakup of Libyuh into two or more sovereign polities. HIS PRIORITY FOR THE TIME BEING IS TO SURVIVE + HOLD ON TO POLITICAL POWER AMAP , AS WELL AS TO CAPTURE LIBYA'S MAIN PORTS + OIL-GAS FIELDS, ROADS, ETC. ASAP AMAP.

Good for paying his Battle Boyz + rallying Supporters, + for dominating any post-Jasmine/Breakup new Libyuhn States.

BATTLE FOR EGYPT ALLIANCE + SUEZ CANAL TRADE.

* USA = is refraining from calling the fighting in Libyuh between Muammar + Rebels as a de facto "CIVIL WAR".

* PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > GADDAFI'S SON: THE TIME FOR NEGOTIATIONS IS OVER.
