#2 This is far from over. Gadhafi is playing possum.
"Is he preparing to collect his family, escape Tripoli and launch a long and bloody guerrilla war like the one Saddam Hussein's followers waged after the US invasion of 2003". He still has support in the south and his tribe. Where is Gadhafi and his troops?. Soon the rebels will fight among themselves. Many will go home. To him I believe this is a game of chess. He may not be a good player perhaps. I don't believe he is done.

#3 And those that Khaddafy faces are nowhere near as skillful as the US Army and Marines, excluding any European Special Forces on the ground. If Britain and France want to get hip-deep in an Arab civil war in North Africa, more power to them; but the rebels will be killing each other in impressive numbers soon enough.

#5 JM- "GADDAFI LIKELY TO BE KILLED, DEFECTOR SAYS".
GADDAFI is 69. To be killed for his country, his people and his tribe at his age would be what he would wish. His mistake was to compromise with the west. He has seen what has been done to other leaders. So if he is not a coward he will fight. He could have destroyed the oil wells and the massive water source he has. He has not done that because he is his people,Libyan first. This is foreign interventionism in his mind. Every media vindictive has been hurled at him. To myself orchestrated. Even his daughter is alive and so on. We have been feed disinformation for a long time.

#6 "They" have been telling for ages that Muhammar is a Jew, and HE has been making fun of the Palesto-simians idiocy until they foamed at the mouth.

Allah(piss be upon him)will help Muhammar and he's going to give us a good show...bring the popcorn!

Zeropeans have made fun of us in Irak, high time we have fun at their expense too!

GO GADDAFI!!!
