All Libyans love me, declares Gaddafi

Volunteers were pleading for international help last night as Libya began to experience food and medical shortages.

In the rebel-held east, workers said they were running low on fresh produce while in the capital some shops had closed, with others limiting the amount they were willing to sell as prices rocketed.

Colonel Muammar Gaddafi showed no outward sign of doubt of his country's continued loyalty. "All my people love me," he told foreign reporters in Tripoli. "They would die to protect me." But elsewhere a public health volunteer painted a far bleaker picture, warning that supplies of food in the country's second city of Benghazi could reach crisis point, with many shops and factories still closed since the city fell to protesters a week ago.

"We will have serious shortages of food, drink, medicine and medical equipment in two weeks, three weeks maximum. We need outside help," said Khalifa el-Faituri.

2. I saw that on the news.
He believes all the bullshit he has fed his people for decades. Said all those agitators are foreigners. Didn't mention those pro-Gaddafi mercenaries who are all foreigners.

4. Sounds like Castro
All "true" Cubans love him. All those who don't are not Cubans but foreigners and CIA operatives.

Gaddafi is just changing the definition of Libyans.

11. "Snot Wanker" That's a good honorific for the dufus.
He actually LOOKS like a Snot Wanker. All pale and crooked-eyed, with his hair plugs in front and all bald in the back

C'mon, can't one of the Koch bro's pay for hair plugs for the back of his mis-shapen cranium as well?
