Libya protests: Gaddafi says 'All my people love me'
58 replies, posted
[quote]Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi has told the BBC he is loved by all his people and has denied there have been any protests in Tripoli.
Col Gaddafi said that his people would die to protect him.
He laughed at the suggestion he would leave Libya and said he felt betrayed by leaders who had urged him to quit.
Earlier world governments condemned attacks on Libyan civilians, with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton saying Col Gaddafi must "go now".
The EU on Monday imposed sanctions including an arms embargo, asset freeze and travel ban on Col Gaddafi and his close entourage.
'Mercenaries and thugs'
Col Gaddafi was speaking in an interview with the BBC's Jeremy Bowen in Tripoli.
Col Gaddafi accused Western countries of abandoning Libya and said that they had no morals and wanted to colonise the country.
When asked whether he would resign, he said he could not step down as he did not have an official position and insisted that the power was with the people.
Col Gaddafi challenged those, including UK Prime Minister David Cameron, who have accused him of having money abroad to produce evidence.
He said he would "put two fingers in their eye".
Col Gaddafi said true Libyans had not demonstrated but those who had come on to the streets were under the influence of drugs supplied by al-Qaeda.
He said those people had seized weapons and that his supporters were under orders not to shoot back.
Col Gaddafi is facing a massive challenge to his 41-year rule, with protesters in control of towns in the east.
Unrest also continues in and around Tripoli, with reports of an anti-Gaddafi protest on Monday in a suburb of the capital as well as fighting in nearby Misrata and an attack by air force jets on ammunition dumps in the east of the country.
Foreign ministers who had gathered at a UN human rights conference in Geneva called earlier for Col Gaddafi to go.
Mrs Clinton accused Col Gaddafi and his followers of using "mercenaries and thugs" to attack unarmed civilians, and of executing soldiers who refused to turn their guns on fellow citizens.
It is time for Gaddafi to go, now, without further violence or delay," she said.
Mrs Clinton also said that although US naval vessels were being repositioned near Libya there was no military action pending.
When asked whether the US would back Col Gaddafi going into exile, Mrs Clinton said: "If violence could be ended by his leaving... it might be a good step but we believe accountability must be obtained for what he has done."
'Blood of martyrs'
Although protesters have secured towns in the east, Col Gaddafi shows no signs of giving up in and around Tripoli.
In Tajoura, a suburb of the capital, about 400 people protested against him on Monday, chanting: "The blood of martyrs won't go to waste." Gaddafi supporters have reportedly tried to break up the protest by firing into the air.
Reporters say there have been long queues at banks in the capital as people tried to collect the 500 dinars ($410) promised to all families by the government in an attempt to quell the unrest.
There has been fighting in the coastal town of Misrata, 200km (125 miles) east of Tripoli, with Col Gaddafi's opponents repelling a government counter-attack.
Anti-government forces still control Zawiya, 50km west of Tripoli, but pro-Gaddafi forces are surrounding the city. One resident told Reuters: "We are expecting attacks at any moment... They are in large numbers."[/quote]

Dude, your logic is totally [b]FUCKED.[/b]
He's a sociopath and most likely a psychopath. I wouldn't be surprised if he believed what he was saying.
How out of touch with his people can he possibly be.
Who does he consider his people?

Mirrors.
Are you fucking kidding me.
[QUOTE=croguy;28345578]Who does he consider his people?[/QUOTE]
The people scared to leave his palace.
Fuck no. "Okay, let's kill our entire country and expect them to forgive and love me :downs:"
Gaddafi was in my dream last night. It was me, him, and my friend at this pizza place. They were both eating different pizzas. Gaddafi says to my friend "your pizza is inferior, it's all manufactured garbage". I asked Gadaffi what his pizza had going for it, he opened it up and handed me a piece of chicken from it. As Gaddafi walked over to the counter (I don't know what for), I turned to my friend and say 'huh, he's not as crazy as I thought'. Gaddafi comes back and asks me what I said. 'Thanks for the chicken', I tell him.
I had another dream but that's irrelevant.

What the fuck. You have some awesome dreams. But I must ask, what on earth were you eating or smoking before you went to bed last night.
He's either insane or the ultimate IRL troll

Hahah nothing really. I spent most of the day inside, but it was Saturday night that I went to a party and hashed up, funnily enough.

That title still belongs to kim jong il
Looks like Gaddafi opened up another chest of the fine stuff.
Of course eveyone loves him. He knows what his people wants.
Heavy artillery, air strikes and mercenaries that shoot at everything that moves.
How can we stop loving this person.
Textbook example of denial.

Even Kim isn't being this big an asshole at the moment
He's either insane or a filthy liar or both. I just hope he just skips the five stages of grief and goes straight to the part where a drone fires a rocket into his mansion.
It sounds like the curtain have been drawn on this protest.

Pfft, would have made a snarky comment, Deadpool style, before capping him in the face with a pistol.

Who hit him in the face with a frying pan?
He loves them so much, he's giving them free lead and explosives! He's such a sweet leader!

He's giving them explosives? Doesn't that sort of defeat the purpose of massacring them in the first place?

Armed explosives.
Handed out from aircrafts.

Sociopathy and psychopathy are the same thing except sociopathy stems from trauma and psychopathy is inborn.
Learn your shit.
