#1 No doubt the emissaries did say that. It might even possibly be true. But would the NATO parties of the attacking part be willing to allow him to escape?

#2 WHERE would he go, precisely?

And HOW would he get there?

Shall we check his bags? And how many of his entourage get to go with him?
Some will be "somewhat reluctant" to stay behind and greet the new regime as it arrives in a pickup truck and lots of RPG butchers, bakers and falafel makers in the back.

If the French arent negotiating see if they can get a few details on who is.

#3 My suggestion : let Khaddafy leave with his family, his tribe, his supporters, and half of the money he has stolen but he has to live in the disputed border zone between Somaliland and Puntland. Plus, he is responsible for providing security and infrastructure to that area, and cleaning up the coastal piracy issues of Puntland and Somaliland.
