I heard the news coming from Libya on 6 music the other morning. The track directly after was 'Rock the Casbah'

So what is he saying?

He is coming across (IMO) as insane. What chance now a bloodbath, and how for the international community to stop it - maybe (given political difficulty of Western world acting) the Arab world can step in and prevent the situation worsening?

Just caught a few minutes of it. Fantastic stuff, proper mental.
Apparently he wants to go as a martyr, lets hope he doesn't manage that and the power shift is bloodless.

Basically that the protesters are doing the work of the devil, that the west are instigating naughtiness and lying, etc etc.

Evan Davis sums it up on twitter;
Sometimes, pretending you are mad can be an effective way of intimidating your opponents. But I'm not sure #Gadaffi is pretending.
It is the closest you will ever see to the aliens in Mars Attacks. It would be funny if it wasn't so tragic.

William Hague says that the Foreign Office is sending a gunboat!!!
Outstanding.

If Colonel Gadaffi is the leader of Libya then why is he still only a Colonel?
and his medals look like he made them himself
Chris Evans this morning, which did make me LOL

[William Hague] said there were indications that the state structure in Libya was collapsing, and added that a transparent report on violence used on protesters was needed and serious abuses of human rights "must be investigated".
Is it just me or is the talk of 'reports' and 'investigations' not really enough? I mean, they are fairly obviously massacring their own people for peacefully protesting - shouldn't we be trying to stop them?
Where are the yanks when you need them to go in there all gung ho?

They're holding back because they're scared of ernie and fred's dissapproving wrath...

the west won't take military action against any arab country now - the extremists will just shout 'invasion' and we'll all be knee deep in suicide bombers.
If other Arab states can't sort him out he'll be there until his own army decide enough is enough.

Obama doesn't have the bottle
perhaps it takes more 'bottle' to look at an already violent situation and decide that adding further force of arms is probably not the best solution?

Mr Grumm - are you volunteering to head off to Libya with a trusty old SA80 and a sense of right and wrong, or do you expect others to go in your place ?

Well I thought we had a military that usually took care of such things, but sure - I'll give it a bash.

Gaddafi looks like one of those street entertainers made up to look like a statue, perhaps that's how he's hiding out stealth like.

He hasn't got any supporting cast like Ceaucescu had - running about behind him and trying to find a way out, crowd in front of him shouting Rumanian variations of "Piss off you pillock"...
I suddenly had this image of him in a few hours time - the TV has gone to adverts and everybody else has gone to bed and he's still ranting on his disastrously undecorated balcony.

Take your bike - I hear there's some cracking trails over there.
Don't forget to write and let us know how you get on
