Has The Qäddaferdämmerung Begun At Last?

Libyan news presenter Hala Masrati had a meltdown on the al-Libiyah television channel early this morning, Sunday August 21.



Source: Al Zajeera Live Blog.

"With this weapon, I either kill or die today, you will not take al-Libiyah channel. You won't take Jamahiriyah channel, Shababiyah channel, Tripoli or all of Libya, and even those without a weapon are willing to be a shield in order to protect their colleagues at this channel. We are willing to become martyrs."


The video is being run by various news outlets this morning, however, they report that it was originally posted by an unidentified social media source, so take that into account.

The news presenter, Hala Masrati, is a well-known Qaddafi loyalist of the over-the-top sort (google her), so I think the video is genuine.

TSB: Assad say: "Hopey-Changey" take time... and "The young people need something to do!" and then I think he said something like "Don't Mess With Texas!" gwb

Felipe Calderon is working to change his media image to a more "Putin like-man of adventure" type. Watch later this fall as he joins "Shorty" Guzman, Rick Perry, Carlos Slim and a US Ambassador (to be named later) in Acapulco for a night of cigars and poker! gwb

Saef is doing well if he's in the hands of anyone other than the rebels. None of the rebel coalition's many factions have any reason to let him live. It is not entirely far-fetched to think he could even come back one day to rule after a decade or so of post-Qaddafi chaos.

Its the rebels that have him. I hope they turn him over to the women of Tripoli for some "enhanced interrogation". gwb

The TNC says they now have two of Q's sons in custody.

As for the women of Tripoli, they're likely to be the first group to suffer under the new regime. For all of Col. Q's many offenses, he always had a place for women in civil life, seemed to like women, and surrounded himself with them. That will now end as Libya becomes sharia-compliant.
