Yeh now that he knows his days are numbered!!

I should imagine there is many a lottery in peoples places of work centred on how long it'll be before he is captured or killed.

Sadman lasted about eight months and Bin Liner nearly a decade.

I doubt Gaddafi will last that long, everyone wants a piece of him!!

I offer to not destroy the world, for the one-time payment of 10 million, cash on my desk. Else... well, you've been warned.

Yes. You've routed my armies, captured my capital, trashed my inner sanctum and toppled the totems of my forty-two year reign. However, I may still deign to make a deal with you if you kiss my feet, infidel dogs.

Wonder if he realizes his negotiating position was a lot nicer five months ago?

Does anyone know if this guy is still on the loose?

Moussa Ibrahim

As far as I know he is still acting as Gaddafi's mouthpiece having spoken with the rebels by phone about Gaddafi wishing to negotiate, so he's likely not far from his boss.

Or .. so "maybe" his time has already arrived, the Reaper has been waiting a long time...

Probably chilling in the UAE with his best mate Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf

I just want his head on a stake. Preferably on fire.

Well, I'm sure when Gaddafi speaks of a "power transfer", the average Libyan thinks 50,000 volts through his body would be a nice start.
