To the dismay of both rebel forces and the international community, alike, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi still claims he's somewhere inside of the war-torn country (talk about hanging on by a thread).
As rebel forces continue their efforts to "take back" their country, a new video clip that shows the leader in a different, more positive, light is making headlines.

In one part of the home movie, Gaddafi asks his granddaughter if she loves him. Her response? "No." Then, he asks, "Don't you think I'm sweet?" Her response, "No." There are many who would echo the young girl's sentiments, it seems.
