The Daily Mail reports that amid burning government buildings and 233-400 dead protesters, Libya’s leader Colonel has left the capitol;
The Libyan justice minister has now resigned in protest at the ‘excessive use of violence’ against the protesters, according to the Quryna newspaper.
As Europe and the U.S. condemned the regime’s handling of the unrest, Gaddafi’s son Saif said his family would ‘fight until the last bullet’.
More than 300 victims were massacred – many by foreign mercenaries – during the government crackdown in Libya’s second city, Benghazi.
Qaddafi’s time has long ago passed. He’s lucky he survived the Reagan years. Of course, on The Obama’s watch, it’s hard to tell where the US support will land.
Thanks to Old Trooper for the link.
I seem to recall that Reagan almost got him using F-111’s to bomb his house. Qaddafi was carrying on about how his innocent son was killed. I’d a given a lot to have been there to ask him: How’s it feel?
Actually, it was his daughter. And it looks like (surprise!) he’s bailed to Venezuela, according to the Brits:
