#2 So much for "credible western intelligence"...

Muammar Gaddafi speaking on Libyan state television signalled his defiance over a mounting a revolt against his 40-year rule.

Gaddafi dismissed reports that he has fled the country, calling them "malicious rumours" spread by "hating channels". Speaking to state TV from outside a ruined building, he asserted: "I am in Tripoli and not in Venezuela."

Earlier, the new General Committee for Defence said its forces would cleanse Libya of anti-government elements. A statement described the protesters as "terrorist gangs made up mostly of misguided youths", who had been exploited and fed "hallucinogenic pills" by people following foreign agendas.

#4 It will either be a bloodbath or Daffy gets assasinated. Probably both.

Assassins have to get close enough. I don't think anyone but Gaddafi's inner circle is getting to see him now. Too much risk of a political entrepreneur among the senior leadership offing him and seizing the reins of power.

#5 Get those two jets that skidaddled to Malta, rearm, refuel, and send them back to Libya with a new target.

#6 CREDIBLE WESTERN INTEL

versus

* FREEREPUBLIC > GADHAFI SAYS HE IS IN TRIPOLI, NOT VENEZUELA.

Hugo's infamous "RED BERET" = THE CAP THAT MADE MILWAUKEE [Not] FAMOUS is denying giving Uncle Muammar + Family any sort of Refuge.
