Gaddafi Son Says Army Will Protect Oil Infrastructure, Blames Al-Qaeda For Carpet Bombing As 10,000 Now Reported Dead

Tyler Durden's picture




 

And so we go from one lunatic to another. In an "exclusive interview" with the FT, Muammar Gadaffi's son, al-Saadi, told the newspaper, whose parent Pearson PLC is 3% owner by the Libyan Sovereign Wealth Fund, "made it clear that he believed any such new regime would still include his father. “My father would stay as the big father who advises,” he told the Financial Times, adding that direct administrative powers should be handed over to a new generation." And further confirming the soon to be deposed ruler's break with reality, were accusations that the reason why the Libyan airforce has been shooting at protestors over the past week, was to protect the country from "thousands of al-Qaeda" infiltrators who had taken over the eastern part of the country. Touching on a topic discussed yesterday, namely that the Gaddafi regime may engage in sabotage against its oil industry, al-Saadi “said that the army would be sent to guard facilities if necessary. The army is still very strong,” he said. “If we hear anything, we will send some battalions. When people see the army, they will be afraid.” In other words, expect to hear news of major disruptions in the country's oil infrastructure which will promptly be blamed on al-Qaeda by the Gaddafis. And going back to reality, we read that the death toll in Libya has surpassed 10,000 people.

From the FT:

Sounding surprisingly relaxed and not like a member of a ruling family that expects to be deposed in the near future, Mr Gaddafi revealed that his brother, Seif al-Islam, was working on a new constitution and would make an announcement soon, although he had no further details.

He also admitted that ships and aircraft had been used to bombard ammunition depots near Benghazi in the east of the country where most of the recent unrest has been concentrated.

But he emphasised that these depots were away from populated areas. “We sent planes to those hangars full of ammunition,” he said.

He sought to justify the move by claiming that al-Qaeda had taken advantage of the “chaos” to assume control of the eastern region from legitimate protesters and monarchists.

He estimated that there were “thousands” of al-Qaeda in Libya of whom “maybe hundreds” were trained.

Destroying the weaponry was the only way of stopping it falling into the wrong hands in Libya or other long-standing regional trouble-spots such as Afghanistan, he argued.

He also claimed that the British government had last year sent SAS forces to eastern Libya to “train our special forces because they were expecting to fight al-Qaeda in this part of the country”.

Some other insight: having a problem procuring speed lately? Blame it on Libya:

Like his father and brother earlier in the week, Mr Gaddafi insisted that many protesters had taken “very powerful” drugs, such as amphetamines or ecstasy. “We have tonnes of the pills they were given,” he said, though he did not know where they had come from.

He appealed for help from foreign police and doctors to “investigate this”.

But by far the funniest thing is how the dictator's son still sees his role:

Questioned about Libyan diplomats deserting their posts around the world, Gaddafi, who at one time worked as a professional footballer in Italy, said: “I don’t care about these guys. My diplomacy is to be honest and tell the truth.

“I don’t have the power to solve the problems of Libya,” he said. “We have to just stay calm and not use weapons against the government or our people to destroy the country. That is not the solution.”

Perhaps this great humanitarian can then explain why according to Al Arabia the bodybag count in Libya has now surpassed 10,000:

There are at least 10,000 dead and 50,000 wounded in Libya, according to reports by Al Arabiya on Twitter quoting a member of the International Criminal Court. The death toll was reportd by the Libyan member of the ICC, Sayed al Shanuka, who was interviewed from Paris. The official figures provided by the Libyan government yesterday indicated 300 dead, while this morning Italian foreign minister Franco Frattini stated that he believed more in the death of ''more than 1,000 innocents".

So once again: when will the actions of the Fed, whose actions were the match that lit this whole blazing inferno, be finally called a genocide?

Yes.  10,000 people is stretch, particulalry, when there are (at least) 5 levels of hearsay that leads to the unknown source of the news. 

Oh, you are a grown up?  No.  You are an idiot and a hypocritical one at that.  For example, you tell me to watch MSM (which I have to assume implies that I am a mindless sheep) because I question the accuracy of a news source?  Now think about that for a minute you brainless fuck. 

You are so far up ZH's ass that you cannot determine for yourself when they post "reported news" that is nothing more than unsubstantiated rumor, and that is a kind description.  That is to say (now read this part slow you dumb bastard) --  you are in fact the "sheeple" that you assert I am.  You believe anything, as long as it comes from a source you "like".

You most certainly did not offer any sources about 10,000 dead.  How you can you say that?  You offered news of the violence and then inserted your own belief that 10,000 people could have died. 

And by the way, the name calling were the facts.

You're right. It has always been like this.

We are ruled by an authoritarian elite, whose guiding principles might be found within the pages of Carl von Clausewitz (during war) or Nicolò Machiavelli (during peace). Morality and Realpolitik are diametrically opposed concepts.

Tyler's not wrong, but there is plenty of blame to go around.  I personally blame Winston Churchill for a lot of the disgraceful oppression laid on ordinary people in the Middle East since the breakup of the Ottoman Empire.

Behind every tinpot dictator there's a bunch of rich bastards selling oil and guns. 

It's time to 'get straight' with the aspiring middle class in these countries, and they might not forgive easily....sometimes I wonder whether India might be ripe to bust a geopolitical move, being both democratic and Third World 'cool' with folks.  It'd be pretty hilarious to see a belt of thriving, oil-rich democratic societies under Indian patronage....just a silly thought...need to work out those Saudi and Iranian details yet....

2:38PM: Cramer calls for Government investigation into oil prices! 

Every frikin time this "Free Market Capitalist" sees something he doesn't like he calls for government intervention. Same as during 2008: investigate short selling, investigate anyone not doing what I want now!!

 

He represents the mouthpiece of the right wing of Wall Street: "Government Keep Out!!! Except when my money is at stake or that of my cronies! Then we need to intervene, come down hard, jail and kill and raid the Treasury, transfer all taxpayer money to Wall Street that's what I call Free Market Capitalism!!!"

 

He's for you the consumer to trust him and his cronies with your money. And actually you should be required to do so. Every available dollar you have should be transferred electronically and untouchable until you're 92. He wants to steal your money and make it legal to do so and a requirement of being a citizen of the US

He's also lying about oil: A Great One! He said we have enough US domestic crude that we could consider EXPORTING IT to South America!!!!! We currently import 60% of our oil and US oil produciton peaked in 1970!!

When Cramer starts foaming at the mouth you know what that means now: the market is in deep, deep, deep, trouble. Just like last time. Predictable.

"Age and cunning will overcome youth and enthusiasm" was repealed in Egypt last week, but Muammar and Saif haven't gotten the news.

"Whom the Gods destroy, they first make mad" is still in force, and it looks like the Libyan coconut hasn't fallen far from the frond.

And I finally found the correct spelling:  GoDaffy.

The Catholics haven't turned out to kill Muslims since the year 1250. Though yeah, that was a lot of killing at the time.

Why dredge up old history?  They have long since evolved.  It's WAAaay more satisfying to sodomize than to kill.

Teachers molestations of schoolchildren is 20X higher than Catholics (2500/yr)

But they're considered fellow travelers and part of the protected class.

Muslim on muslim -- recent history or ancient history it doesn't matter. It's just a fact.

Saddam Hussein killed 30,000/year of his own people.

Civil war now - so it will be ugly.

Let's hope the military can get rid of Gadhafi and stabilize things quick before more innocent civilians are slaughtered.

Just for some perspective : if this 10K figure is half true, then this is more than the number of people killed in 911. Are you as shocked by this as you were by that?

Darn. Al Qaeda is too bad. they always cause problems.. high oil prices.

If US economy is double dip, (and BTFDD) it will be entirely caused by AL QAEDA!! And we certainly need more QEs to fight AL QAEDA both militarily and financially!!

Ben---More QEs--PLEASE!!
