| Gaddafi to Venezuela? |
| 2011-02-21 |
| Credible Western intelligence reports say that Muammar Gaddafi has fled Libya and is on his way to exile in Venezuela, according to William Hague, the foreign secretary. Following an emergency EU meeting of foreign ministers on the situation in Libya, Mr Hague was asked if Britain, or other Western countries, knew if Col. Gaddafi had left Tripoli. “About whether Col. Gaddafi, is in Venezuela, I have no information that says he is although I have seen some information that suggests he is on his way there,” he said. British officials stressed that Mr Hague was referring “not to media reports but information from other channels”. “This is credible information,” said a diplomat. |

| #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. |

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

| #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. |

| #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. |
