Mahmoud Gebril: The Rebel Who Could Run Libya

#2  His aim, he said, was for full, Western-style civil rights, of the kind never before known in Libya, let alone in most of the Arab world and Africa. "My model is South Africa,"

Ahhhg! The African National Congress (ANC) as a democratic model? I'm certain the White House would disagree, but a bit more study of the current state of his "model" may be necessary.

#1  TOPIX/WORLDNEWS/PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > GADDAFI ARMY "NOT AT BREAKING POINT".

Its gonna be a spell, for both the Rebs + the UN Coalition.

IN BEST CASE, GADDAFI IS UNLIKELY TO VOLUNTARILY LEAVE POWER UNTIL THE ABOVE MAKE SERIOUS CONCESSIONS + $$$ COMPENSATIONS TO MATCH HIS EGO = SELF-IMAGE/WORTH. In absence of same, he has no qualms fighting to the bitter end + taking a lot of people wid him, nor as per joining in new Terror, Nuclear alliance wid his Enemies [Frenemies?] just to spite the Coalition.

DA MAN IS AKIN TO A SKILLED PERFORMER WALKING CAREFULLY STEADILY ON A LONG TIGHTROPE WID NO SAFETY NET, + THE US-NATO/EU + UNO ARE GOING TO HAVE TO WALK THAT TIGHTROPE TO GET HIM OR CONVINCE HIM. He likes it dat way.
