#2 WORLD NEWS > [Newsmax]GADDAFI OPPONENTS SAY HE IS STILL A THREAT, to Libyuh + entire World.
REBEL SPOX = NATO should stay in Libya until Uncle Muammar is either killed, or else captured + brought to justice.
Speaking of which ....
To wit,
* SAME > MUAMMAR GADDAFI WILL FACE THE FIRING SQUAD IFF CONVICTED OF CRIMES AGZ HUMANITY, as per new Libyan Justice Minister.
* SAME > REBEL COMMANDERS FEAR MUAMMAR GADDAFI COULD EVADE THEM FOR SOME TIME [weeks?] IN THE SAHARA DESERT.
Uncle Muammar doin' an Uncle Saddam???
* CNN + FOX NEWS > seems the Libyuhn rebels are calling on any remaining loyalist troops or forces to either peacefully SURRENDER, OR ELSE FACE ANNIHILATION [widout mercy].
[BATTLE/SIEGE OF THE ALAMO = "DE GUELLO" = NO QUARTER here].
IMO I still hold that Uncle Muammar intends to still have a potent role in the so-called "New Libya" = post-regime Govt - I DO NOT BELIEVE HE WILL JUST GIVE UP EASILY + GO WILLINGLY INTO SELF-IMPOSED, PERMANENT, HUMILIATING EXILE OUTSIDE OF LIBYA.
I believe he personally will try to hold out agz surrrender AMAP ALAP ATAP - at minima, to attempt to forge a face-saving deal wid the Rebs, ideally where he gets to stay in Libya.
Espec given ....
E.g. IIRC WORLD NEWS > THE END OF GADHAFI REGIME IN LIBYA DOES NOT GUARANTEE A FREE PRESS.
* SAME > DECADE AFTER 9-11, ARAB SPRING HERALDS NEW ERA FOR ISLAMISTS.
No longer "on the run", but are now seemingly empowered???
ARTIC = denotes ....
> ISLAMISTS are better organized + more influential among ordinary People = Muslims than secular or anti-Islamist LIBERALS + LEFTISTS.
> Pert = argued that at the beginning of the various "ARAB SPRINGS", the ISLAMISTS PROCLAIMED TO SUPPORT A CIVIL STATE, BUT LATER ON UNMASKED THEIR FACES + CALLED FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGIOUS STATE = "ISLAMIC STATE".
> Post-Arab Springs, pro-Islamist Govts more likely to be set up in MilPol smaller or lessor Muslim States, i.e. THE MAJORITY OF ME + NORTH AFRICAN STATES?, than in traditional or historical BIG STATE MUSLIM POWERHOUSES E.G. EGYPT, WID STRONG = LONG TRADITIONS OF INTELLECTUAL DEBATE OR DISCOURSE???
* TOPIX > AFTER GADDAFI: WHAT NEXT FOR LIBYA?
I have to respect Uncle Muammar for his not giving up quickly. |
