Gaddafi on the run: Dictator may already have fled and be on his way to Venezuela after Libyan air force attacks civilians
21st February 2011
Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has fled Libya and may be heading for Venezuela, William Hague said today.
The Foreign Secretary said he had seen 'information' that suggests Gaddafi is on his way to the South American country - as Libya was up in flames amid increasingly bloody battles between protesters and security forces.
But there was also confusion surrounding Gaddafi's whereabouts, as reports suggested he was poised to make a speech in the capital Tripoli.
Libyan fighter jets and helicopters reportedly fired on protesters in Tripoli, with indiscriminate bombing runs leaving 'many, many dead'.
One protester told Al Jazeera:'What we are witnessing today is unimaginable. Warplanes and helicopters are indiscriminately bombing one area after another. There are many, many dead.
'Our people are dying. It is the policy of scorched earth,'he said. 'Anyone who moves, even if they are in their car they will hit you.'
He said the bombing runs initially targeted a funeral procession, and the Navy was also reportedly shelling the city.
Tripoli was rocked by gunfire with government buildings ablaze, amid reports of a massacre that left 60 dead in the city's Green Square.
Security forces appeared to be preparing a major assault in the capital tonight, as state TV said troops had 'stormed the hideouts of the saboteurs'.
Snipers took up positions on rooftops and jets swooped low over rooftops, apparently trying to stop more opposition activists joining those who are already overwhelming the city.

I never in my life thought that I’d agree with Muammar Gaddafi about anything, but…

Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi appears on state TV
22 February 2011 Last updated at 02:36 ET
Libya's leader, Muammar Gaddafi, has dismissed reports that he had fled amid the unrest sweeping the country, calling foreign news channels "dogs".
Speaking to state TV from outside a ruined building, he said "I am in Tripoli and not in Venezuela," after rumours that he had flown to Caracas....
Col Gaddafi appeared for less than a minute on state television shortly after 0200 local time (0000 GMT) on Tuesday....
"I want to clarify for them that I am in Tripoli not in Venezuela. Do not believe these channels - they are dogs. Goodbye."

Still only a Colonel
I have always wondered after 41 years why he still only calls himself a Colonel. Couldn't make the primary zone for promotion? Bad OER?

They are chosen for their military bearing, experience with small arms, and skill in marital arts.
Did I spell that wrong?
I hope they are captured...and spanked.
