‘Big Misunderstanding’: Gadhafi’s Son Says US Is on Wrong Side, His Father Won’t Step Down

In an exclusive interview with ABC’s Christiane Amanpour, Moammar Gadhafi’s second son, Saif Gadhafi, said that Americans will “regret” their intervention in Libya. “One day, they will find that they were supporting the wrong side.”
Gadhafi said that the American and coalition forces are supporting terrorists in Libya:
Simply the Americans and the other Western countries, you are supporting the terrorists and the armed militia. That’s it…One day you will wake up and you made a big mistake with supporting these people. It’s like the WMD in Iraq. It’s another story
He said that he was “surprised” about the military intervention–and he went on to blame coalition forces for terrorizing Libyan citizens yesterday:
Yesterday, we were surprised that … the Americans and the British and the French attacked Libya, attacked five cities. Terrorized people, and especially children, women, were so afraid yesterday…So it was big surprise that finally President Obama — we thought he was a good man and friend of Arab world — is bombing Libya
Will his father step down? “Step aside, why?”
Again, there is a big misunderstanding. The whole country is united against the armed militia and the terrorists. Simply the Americans and the other Western countries, you are supporting the terrorists and the armed militia. That’s it

While talks were about a no fly zone, the UN resolution is about taking all necessary measures to prevent Ghaddafi from harming the civilian populace. This includes surgical strikes against tanks and other ground equipment.

We can take his words for baseless lies as most of us educated in the ways of ‘your’ people know you give a rats ‘A’ about women and children! We know you will use them as a weapon. We know in Iraq and Afghanistan those that work for the military forces there have to fear for their own families because the RATS will bust down their doors to kidnap their children and wives threatening to kill them if they don’t stop working for the military.
Real class, real brave, real clever too as they know we won’t stoop low enough blow up a home where the RATS occupy it holding hostages of women and children. This is what makes the fight in Iraq, Afghanistan and now Libya one tough sunofabitch!
Unless we stoop low enough to play the game real dirty, I’m afraid we lose. Perhaps, we need to sacrifice a few to make them understand we mean business?
@son of Daffyduck, just the fact you are doing an interview with Amanpour says it all–NOT WINNING!

‘Now now a comparison here is a little hyperbolic don’t you think? While Obama is a bad president he’s not even close to Ghaddafi.’
What makes you think Obama is not close to Ghadafi? He hasn’t been in power long enough to see all of his sides. You wait, after he is reelected all will hit the fan. No one in government will oppose him now, at least they will not risk their own butts to do so. Wait until he has both the house and senate again with an open door. Maybe you will get to change your mind. He is destroying this nation step by step. Ghadafi built Libya from the ruins of WWII. Have you been there. Have you seen the awful way people have to live there? I’ll bet not. This nation is headed for the conditions in southern Africa nations. Shame but true.
Non-sequitur
Posted on March 20, 2011 at 6:57pm@Hisemiester
“What makes you think Obama is not close to Ghadafi?”
I think it’d be quicker to answer how Obama is in any way close to Ghaddafi. I don’t really see any parallels here. Obama is not president for life, he’s not above the law and not an autocrat. Even another term (which may realistically happen as the GOP has no viable presidential material to run at this point in time) would bring 4 more years of ineffectual presidency and not much more.
“No one in government will oppose him now, at least they will not risk their own butts to do so”
Even his own party doesn’t support him fully. He’s a disappointment to both sides.
“Wait until he has both the house and senate again with an open door.”
Yeah, because last time he just pushed things through without watering them down to the wishes of the GOP (health care bill comes to mind). He had unlimited options and potential at the beginning of his presidency to basically do what he wants (within legal limits) and he did nothing.
“This nation is headed for the conditions in southern Africa nations. Shame but true.”
Which nation? Libya or the USA? For the former, we shall see. For the latter, hardly. Maybe we’ll drop out of the limelight of the world stage at some point in the middle or long term and go the way of all empires, but we’re not ever going to be close to Africa barring an incredible catastrophe unheard of before.

Remember that there are still people loyal to Ghaddaffi in Libya, just like there were still people loyal to Hitler and high-ranking Nazi officers in Germany. There must be trials that showcase all the terrible things they did to show the loyalists that they were on the wrong side. Ghaddafi dying in an airstrike would make him a martyr or make even his death disputed.
