Libya: Col Gaddafi 'offers talks on power transfer'
Source: BBC

Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi is ready to begin talks to transfer power, according to his spokesman.

He told a news agency discussions would be led by Col Gaddafi's son, Saadi.

Rebel fighters who now control most of the country, including the capital Tripoli, believe Col Gaddafi is still in hiding in the area.

The BBC's Jon Leyne says the latest offer will be seen as just another sign of the delusional state of Col Gaddafi and his followers.

2. I suspect the only power transfer issues anyone would likely discuss with Gaddafi are ...
... hanging versus firing squad.

3. Of course his apologists will claim this is PROOF he is negotiating from
a position of strength and he is cunningly setting a trap to crush the "rats".


Too bad Phelan, Meyssan and Nazemroaya are on their way to Malta and will miss his "victory" ;-)

4. Gaddafi has 'no power' to transfer. The only remaining question left is ...
will he escape to safety, be killed, or be put on trial for war crimes/crimes against humanity.

8. According to the Guardian there are unconfirmed reports that 6 armoured
Mercedes Benz crossed into Algeria. Rumors are that Gadaffi was in one of those cars.

7. Save Tripoli? The warmongers aren't going to like that kind of talk.
So many more people to kill. So much to destroy.
