Libya - civil unrest & now NATO involvement

[DrRingDing]

Main points of ranting so far anyone?

 

[Tankus]

hes at his home ...supposedly ...the damage behind him was caused by prez .Regan's bombing which killed his daughter ...to show subliminally that he is against the great Satan ..................apparently and he is still defying the tyranny of the USA

 

[Divisive Cotton]

These Arab dictators need better PR companies. They really need to run these types of speeches through focus groups first

 

[teqniq]

Speculation on twitter that he's inside his bunker, not in Green Square as advertised (can't watch streamed vid as at work).

 

[Lo Siento.]

That's how I read it, and as such it seemed like more bad news for Gaddafi.

Louis MacNeice

well, he continues:

"Por mi parte, no imagino al dirigente libio abandonando el país, eludiendo las responsabilidades que se le imputan, sean o no falsas en parte o en su totalidad."

Personally, I don't imagine the Libyan leader leaving (abandoning) the country, shirking the responsibilities with which he is charged, whether or not they are wholly or partially illegitimate.

I don't think that his emphasis on imperialist aggression, his refusal to say anything negative about Gaddafi and his opinion that he's gonna stay is exactly pro-revolution, is it?

 

[Tankus]

He hates italy

 

[Divisive Cotton]

I surrender... I can't bear anymore

 

[Tankus]

this should have been recorded ... severely edited ...and put to music ...not live

Speculation on twitter that he's inside his bunker, not in Green Square as advertised (can't watch streamed vid as at work).

It does look a bit basementy.

 

[Tankus]

hes been saving this building ...just for this moment ...he has added bullet proof glass though

I like the statue in the courtyard ......outside shot showing him through the window ... it doesn't look like a quick knocked up set

 

[butchersapron]

He's not got the army with him, that's clear. Onwards. Before the army.

 

[quimcunx]

It's the yoot! On drugs!

It's not their fault they are young they are imitating their big brothers, Egypt and Tunisia.

 

[Tankus]

no autocue ..this is straight from the brain ......pauses for thought

I seriously think he is going to blow the wells

 

[quimcunx]

It's definitely not my fault. I passed power to the people yonks ago.

I told you take the money! You wanted the state to administer the oil.

People are laughing at you.

 

[butchersapron]

What, you think he has button that all the people who make billions have given him? A button to blow up all the oil wells?

Interesting tweet via Paul Mason:

Gaddafi: a small group infiltrated in cities use drugs (pills) and money to push youth to do those acts #libya #feb17

If anyone's on drugs......

 

[Balbi]

Barking.

 

[Tankus]

wow ...he is blaming the administration that the "people " choose, for not distributing on the oil wealth well enough ....so you can now vote for another lot of admin

He gave it ...the comities choose where to distribute it ..Its the people choice that they are poor

"I cannot leave the country ..I will die a martyr " ..... well hes got that bit right

 

[frogwoman]

RT @BBCBreaking: Col Gaddafi tells Libyan people on State TV: "Libya's image is being distorted" & the protesters are serving "the devil" and not #Libya.

 

[butchersapron]

War now. Nasty stuff.

 

[quimcunx]

Go on! Go! All you free cities! Strike out on your own! bovvered?


I'm going to have my own new Libya with my real friends. We're going to start again.

 

[Tankus]

What, you think he has button that all the people who make billions have given him? A button to blow up all the oil wells?

yep ......same as saddam ...if he is going to go ...he will take with him what he considers he has made ...the country is not worthy of his "gift " IMO

 

[DrRingDing]

"I cannot leave the country ..I will die a martyr " ..... well hes got that bit right

Ah I dunno, chickening out and buggering off is more likely for brave brave Gaddafi.

 

[quimcunx]

20 minutes so far. Has he got the staying power to beat Saif?

We will use force according to int'l laws....

I would have thrown my resignation in your face if I was president. I am nothing I have a gun.

 

[Tankus]

Ah I dunno, chickening out and buggering off is more likely for brave brave Gaddafi.

It may not be his choice

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Delusional

 

[butchersapron]

yep ......same as saddam ...if he is going to go ...he will take with him what he considers he has made ...the country is not worthy of his "gift " IMO

What do you mean yes, you weirdo. Saddam had a button that blew up all the oils well? And he pressed it did he?

 

[frogwoman]

Get these greasy rats out of our streets.

 

[Tankus]

if he is not there the country will go back to darkness .....the oil .....

hes not got the army ...hes telling the people to re-liberate the towns he has lost
