Gadhafi is insane and he is going to go down in a blaze of shame,
Being supplied with weapons? The M16 is the standard weapon of the US military, where are they coming from?
@Krasi, Houston
Some dictators, as drunk with power as they are, actually realize that the end is near and at least move out of the way quietly.
That will never happen with Qaddafi! He is enraged that "His Children" the people of Libya have turned against him and his authority! He is a true psychopath at every level!
@Ahmed 10:06 Honestly I am so glad that AC is not there now. Hope CNNers stay safe.
Nina, the UAE withdrew in protest over the US position on their involvement in Bahrain. One UAE general said they can't trust the US anymore after the flip-flop on Egypt.
@Starr, that guy did seem a little surreal! The whole thing was kind of SNL-ish...
We will hunt Gadhafi down like. . . Osama?
Anderson, I was watching another news channel and they in their documentary said that the rebel forces used a suicide bomber to break into one of the armory. Is this true and who are these people we are helping
It's alot safer to bomb stationary targets like air bases and military posts than it is to start going after government tanks and troops moving on the ground. Much more chance for collateral damage or a mistake. It can be done but it doesn't take the place of boots on the ground.
@Starr, formerly known as Vincent: "God forgive me, but the guy on Lybian state TV looked like a SNL skit!"
I agree. I think every time I see Qaddafi speak and hear the things he says, it feels like a big joke. The situation is horrible, but he does look like a really bad stand-up comedian.
@Starr...no kidding (about the SNL skit)
Is this the end of Gadhafi? I mean, "reports" are getting increasingly disturbing about him...
All the Libyans are so brave. They are trying so hard to get their freedom.
It may be difficult right now, but they won't quit trying. Gadhafi will go down. Gadhafi is anxious like Anderson said. He fears the freedom fighters.
@Megan~ "Hunker Down" became popular during katrina. LOL I still not exactly sure what it means! 😀
Does anyone know where Gadahafi is right now?
So what is NATO's plan of action now for Libya? What happened to the UAE are they still MIA?
Some dictators, as drunk with power as they are, actually realize that the end is near and at least move out of the way quietly. Others, evidently, will hold on to the last piece of craziness they have in them for as long as they can.
Sad to hear about the hospital.
Hi Anderson. Hi Everyone. Good evening.
Betty,
Yes, Our president said that hunker down!!!!!! LOL!
Good evening, Anderson and everyone!
Hmmm civilians are killed, and Gadhafi is not stepping down? He is seriously biasly in love with himself.
@Mike..."What happens to the coalition when we leave in a few days?"
Do you have any dice on you? Let's roll them and see.
God forgive me, but the guy on Lybian state TV looked like a SNL skit!
Thank you, Anderson and the crew! Today Saeid Hospital in Misrata had been targeted by Gadflies Special Forces. In addition foreigner mercenaries snipers in Misrata Libya targeting civilian. To see the videos please check CNN iReport.
It would be great for the people of Libya, Tripoli especially if they could get free broadcast TV and internet. They live in a relative black hole. I wonder what they think is going on around them with no honest information.
Wow talk about the propaganda going on, on state television in Libya.
So close for him!!!! *WHEW!* (Journalist)
Gadhafi is not planting believeable information. Neither is Fox
The US is flying the majority of flights and launched most of the missiles. What happens to the coalition when we leave in a few days?
Did President Obama really say "hunker down"?
I know, right? lol
@BettyAnn, "hunker down" is one of my fave sayings!!
Gadhafi a way out? Who would take him? I've seen tweets that his forces may have bombed a children's hospital. Monster.
Evening Anderson & Team 360.
Hello, Nancy, Nichole, Megan, Emily, JoAnn, Mike, Casey, Nina, Heather, Sharon H.,...everyone.
I Like the supposed calls to the State Dept. for "options" if some of Gadhafi's inner circle want to move on.
Whatever Qaddafi and his people decide, he will no longer be the leader of Libya. At this point, he is so delusional that he doesn't even know what he is talking about.
Oh my gosh!! my heart goes out to doctor and 2 patients!!!!! 🙁
Hi Anderson and everyone,
I hope everyone is having a great Wednesday!
Interesting stuff coming out of Libya.
That video with the reporter was insane!!! That one guy diving on top of him to protect him!
Did President Obama really say "hunker down"?
Scary video for the journalist!
Good evening Anderson and everyone. Thank you to 360 for keeping us updated on all these hot topics. That clip about the incoming fire was frightening. Journalists there are at high risk!!
