August 27, 201114 yr Where will he turn up, and when. In exile or captured? Saddam Hussein evaded capture for months....Gaddafi will not. Rumours that he will flee (or has already fled) to Algeria, Chad, even Zimbabwe. My bet is he will be found very soon (within a week), in Libya.
August 28, 201114 yr "My people love me", Harcourt. Yes, I agree with you that he will stay in Libya... but hope he is killed or commits suicide before he has to go through the long-drawn-out torture of a show trial. The sight of Mubarak being tried on his sickbed is just that... sickening.
August 28, 201114 yr will they capture him?, or kill him? .... this we might never know he is probably a wimp himself, but his henchmen will fight to the dying end. it wouldnt surprise me if he escapes to Niger or Algeria and hides out there for a while ( as i am sure some of the leaders there would welcome him on recipt of a big brown envolpe )
August 28, 201114 yr However, some have said that Gaddafi has fled Libya to Zimbabwe on a jet provided by Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe, it was claimed today, as rebels began the march on his home town. President Mugabe's political opponents claim their spies saw Gaddafi arrive in the country on a Zimbabwe Air Force jet in the early hours of Wednesday morning. They say the Libyan dictator was taken to a mansion in Harare's Gunninghill suburb, where agents from his all-female bodyguard were apparently seen patrolling the grounds. 'There's no doubt that Gaddafi is here as a 'unique guest' of Mugabe,' a spokesman for Zimbabwe's opposition Movement for Democratic Change told the Sun. If he has left Libya, Gaddafi could have fled from an airbase in his home town of Sirte, which has been bombarded by Nato warplanes in recent days.

August 30, 201114 yr Author If he's not in Sirte, he's dead already. Wow. That's a new theory. What makes you say that?
August 30, 201114 yr If he's not in Sirte, he's dead already. Wow. That's a new theory. What makes you say that? I guess he might have made some public announcement (with a video) if he was still alive. On the other hand, he might feel it is too dangerous.
August 30, 201114 yr Just imagine...a world leader who doesn't have a twitter account...or skype...or even a deluded comical deputy.....even Cameron had one of those <deleted>!
August 30, 201114 yr Did we miss this...? Heard on some news report today that he and his closest family members have high-tailed it to Zimbabwe.
August 31, 201114 yr Author Did we miss this...? Heard on some news report today that he and his closest family members have high-tailed it to Zimbabwe. His wife, daughter and a son are in Algeria. That was reported a couple of days ago. But I would have expected Al Jazeera to have reported it if he was in Zimbabwe.....but I haven't watched the news for a few hours.
August 31, 201114 yr The flight to Zimbabwe was a Daily Mail story... if it's as reliable as the one about Sharia Law in Bradford, we needn't pay much attention.
August 31, 201114 yr Author The flight to Zimbabwe was a Daily Mail story... if it's as reliable as the one about Sharia Law in Bradford, we needn't pay much attention. Daily Mail...right! I didn't think that was Zaa's taste. Just watched AJ news....still no sign of Gadafi. Yesterday's AJ reported the daughter in Algeria just gave birth. She is a lawyer and was on Saddam's defence team.
August 31, 201114 yr The flight to Zimbabwe was a Daily Mail story... if it's as reliable as the one about Sharia Law in Bradford, we needn't pay much attention. CNN International, for what it's worth. CNN - the bastion of truth, less sensational gossip mongering.

September 2, 201114 yr Gaddafi is said to have given an audio speech (no video) yesterday saying that it will be a long war. But he doesn't seem to have been seen for a long time.
September 2, 201114 yr Gaddafi is said to have given an audio speech (no video) yesterday saying that it will be a long war. But he doesn't seem to have been seen for a long time. Given history we have all seen.... A war?/invasion/policing action can be kept alive for a very long time with nothing more than sound bites/video clips shown as reason.
September 2, 201114 yr Gaddafi is said to have given an audio speech (no video) yesterday saying that it will be a long war. But he doesn't seem to have been seen for a long time. I suspect the loyalists will continue guerrilla tactics for some time to come, even during these times of rebuilding and civil infrastructure maintenance. Rememering, things are largely tribal and related. I can foresee nothing but organised chaos in the coming months and years for Libya. The false altruism from the beloved West isn't going to help the situation at all.

You're probably right.......but that doesn't matter: France will get her oil back, and that was the realy important thing.
September 2, 201114 yr France will get her oil back, and that was the realy important thing. Her Oil?
September 2, 201114 yr Author France will get her oil back, and that was the realy important thing. Her Oil? yeah, France's. Who do you think was the major political force behind instigating Nato actions in Libya, and why. Oil under the ground in Libya is France's, oil under the ground in Iraq is America's,....and if the Republicans have their way, one day the oil under the ground in Iran will be America's too.

Ah ok & I agree.....At first I thought you meant literally France had some God given right to it I should have guessed as I know your not like that. It was no surprise France fired the first shots back in March. They have a large company there...Total
September 4, 201114 yr [uK & USA, as well] France will get her oil back, and that was the realy important thing. Which has seemed to be lost by most. The NATO coalition propaganda spouting of the usual "liberty", "democratic rebellion", "ridding itself from the tyrant", blah blah... Same old lines. Same old story. All have been easily hooked. Just another form of historic and regional imperialistic manipulation.

September 4, 201114 yr Author Someone posted an interesting link in another subsection of the forum........ http://gagnauga.is/i...=Greinar&ID=169 It's amazing how the truth is there for anyone to accept, but people being what they are (lemmings, sheep, ostriches with their head in the sand, ignorant masses, or simply uncaring because of bias) will not accept it. Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, and one day I daresay, Iran, are all essentially the same in the geo-political resource-grabbing sense. As the author of the article pointed out, none of these Western powers care about the oppression in N Korea.......what are the resources to control there? And of course, Flying, you and I will be deemed "batshit crazy"by those same lemmings for pointing it out. It's sadly laughable.

If the auhor can't see where NK's proximity to Russia and China and the support they are given by those two nuclear nations differentiates them from those other nations, then he shouldn't be writing on the subject in the first place. Seriously.

Seriously. Which is why I have often said the sooner Iran goes nuclear the quieter the region will become. I know the claims will be then they will do this or threaten that. But it will be the same reason it is quiet between...Russia,China,US,NK etc Mutually assured destruction tends to equal mutual respect Sad but true. It is the unbalanced state of things now that allows certain injustices to continue.
