#1 "Gaddafi ready for Libya's Day of Rage"

Oh, I just BET he is.

James,
It will get ugly if they as much as unfurl and single banner..

Karl,

My bet is that this will make the Egyptian thug vs. protesters dust up look like a pillow fight.
This unfortunately will be a blood bath if there are any protests.

James,

When was the last time there was a rational protest in the Middle East?

Karl,

That might be the famous Aleppo Food Riots of 678 A.D.

#2 Gaddafi knows that he won't be criticized no matter what he does to the Libyan people.

He has a history of state sponsored terrorist attacks on the west, directly took western hostages, violently and lethally abused the territorial sovereignty of western nations, amassed WMDs, openly threatened genocidal WMD strikes against a western nation, threatened the sanctity of western embassies' territory.

The result: Western weakness, craven obsequious submission, in the face of an enemy that is pathetically weak. The west has let him know that he is absolutely free.

Unleashing Gaddafi might in the end be judged as one of Bush's bigger blunders. Unfortunately he was largely immune from criticism as he acted like a weak dovish leftist and formally enjoyed the hawkish credentials of a Republican POTUS.
