Moammar Kadafi's thinning human shield


'We never get scared,' says one of the supporters in Tripoli speaking of allegiance to Libya's leader in the face of international threats. And then the rumors start.

Reporting from Tripoli, Libya— It was to be a human shield, a massive gathering of Moammar Kadafi's supporters at his Bab Azizia compound, and the Libyan leader was to give a late-night speech of defiance against the international forces arrayed against him.

They would stand by their beloved Brother Leader at the same compound destroyed by President Reagan's airstrikes in 1986. Even if the bombs came sailing down. Even if the entire place went up in flames.

...


Cellphones began to ring. A hush fell over the crowd. People began to whisper to one another: Cruise missiles were being fired at Tripoli. Those sitting in a grassy area quickly got up and began heading for the exit.

More followed, until the human chain thinned to a few dozen people standing in the chill before the balcony where Kadafi was supposed to address them.

But the Brother Leader was nowhere to be seen. He would address Libyans later by telephone, from an undisclosed location.

4. The Colonel is FAMOUS for never sleeping in the same place 2 nights in a row...

He fears assassination from his "friends" and "supporters", and now this shit...what's an insane dictator to do? :shrug:

5. Now I'm beginning to doubt *any* civilian deaths by the coalition, seriously.

He's already been said to be removing bodies from morgues of hospitals. No one is going to sit around a sam site, and no one is going to hold a gun to people sitting around a sam site. Short of handcuffing them to the sites, I don't see how.

8. Kill them first, blame it on the evil outsiders...he has been doing shit like this all along

and his own people have borne the brunt of his insanity.

7. Qaddafi is a maniacal clown, like the Joker in Batman, the Dark Knight.

But Qaddafi has brought and is still bringing death and destruction to innocent human beings, and it is because of this that he must be stopped.
