Wow, Tripoli just seems to collapse like a deck of cards for CQ, I'm really happy that the bloodshed has been as limited as it has been so far :unsmith:

OH poo poo GADDAFI'S ON

wow he sounds so mellow and defeated, he's pretty much calling on people to liberate the 'occupiers of tripoli'. this definitely means he's done and hosed good.

oh wow he just cant believe how big a surprise the rebels pulled on him, he's completely in shock. he's crying over the loss of tripoli and calling on his imaginary armies to liberate it.

I don't know the language, but Gadaffi sounded very stressed on the audio clip right then.

And while I haven't contributed in this thread before I'd like to thank Brown Moses.

Edit: The audio clip from before, not the one on right now.

This is crazy, I thought I'd be sitting here reading about a depressing Stalingrad-level meatgrinder slog for the next four weeks and one day later Gaddafi is pissing himself live? Christmas came early.

Also, a million thanks to Brown Moses, you've done a stellar job of keeping us informed, and not just on Libya! Keep on trucking you beautiful bastard.

Wow gaddafi went silent of a sudden. it was haunting, you can hear the protesters chanting in the distance like a vengeful ghost.

This is definitely the last speech of a broken man.

He's calling for the rest of the country to come to the city and fight.

I wonder if he realizes they already have.
