Col Gaddafi\’s second son and heir apparent appeared on television late in the evening to say there would be \”rivers of blood\” and that Libya was on the brink of a civil war that would burn its oil wealth.
\”Our spirits are high and the leader Muammar Gaddafi is leading the battle in Tripoli, and we are behind him as is the Libyan army,\” he said. \”We will keep fighting until the last man standing, even to the last woman standing…We will not leave Libya to the Italians or the Turks.\”
That\’s actually something that\’ll be decided by those doing the standing, fighting and dying, not you laddie.
And the army seems to be splitting along the same east / west tribal grounds as the rest of the country.
If he has to go on TV threatening and blustering it suggests Gadders and family are in a lot of trouble.
I think it’s Operation Romania Re-run..
I am in awe of the courage of people who will stand up to bloodthirsty tyrants like Gaddafi and his sprog. I’m just grateful my own weak courage has never been put to the test like that.
Robert: Did you see the guys in Bahrain marching up the street – it looked like after the group were mown down by gunfire the survivors just got up and kept marching.
