1. CNN reporting his son will make a statement soon. nt

[cali]

2. oh please let it be true and let something better- much better- replace the

freak.

[Barack_America]

3. Wow. That's quite a development.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Interesting...

Who will step into the vacuum?

[malaise]

18. That's the real problem

Low level education means tribal war. BP will play all sides.

Bye Bye Gaddafi!!

[robinlynne]

5. neither Brazil nor venezuela will want him....... really. two socialist presidents...

[Matariki]

12. Gaddafi fancies himself a socialist.

He overthrew a monarchy for what he termed Islamic Socialism. Of course that was 42 years ago. More recently he crowned himself King of Kings of Africa.

13. Chavez and Khadaffi are very close friends

Chavez is more of a fascist anyway.

[EFerrari]

15. Although, getting him out of Libya would be a good move.

People might stop getting dead.

[cali]

16. surely you know that they've been strong allies.

[social_critic]

6. I bet it's Venezuela

Kaddafi is pals with President Chavez. This is going to get really interesting.

[roamer65]

7. I hope Hugo doesn't shelter this butcher.

My opinion of Hugo will go down if he does.

[social_critic]

17. I live in Venezuela, and my opinion of Hugo is pretty low

I sure hope Khadaffi comes here. The world needs to realize Mr Chavez is more like Emperor Caligula than the good guy they think he is.

8. I'm paying attention to Wisconsin right now

9. America/UK seemed like the obvious choice.

:shrug:

[liberal N proud]

10. Two dictators down

[gateley]

11. Has the military (police?) been called off? Have they ceased

killing the citizens?

This is really something! If it's accurate and if he's "stepping down" -- my God. If the people can get Gaddafi to yell Uncle, this will be further incentive and encouragement for others in other countries to keep up the fight!

I'm on pins and needles. :scared:

[Blue_In_AK]

14. Is he taking his female bodyguards with him?

It would be stunning to see his government fall.

[Cleita]

29. How about the Ukrainian nurse that Wikileaks spoke of? n/t

[donco]

19. I wonder where the mercenaries

that he had to hire to kill the protester are now?

[14thColony]

30. Reportedly

a Libyan regular army brigade overran one of their compounds in Benghazi, and at least there the mercs are finished.

Article's somewhere on the DU front page.

20. Reports of city takeover; ambassador to Arab League resigns

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. That is GREAT NEWS

[EFerrari]

22. "Our correspondent says Venezuela denies any agreement to receive Kaddafi"

Although, things are moving too fast for anything to be completely reliable.

[roamer65]

28. I am guessing he'll go to another African country.

Maybe that POS Mugabe will take him.

No one wants him.

[malaise]

23. Check out the tweets here

[pinboy3niner]

24. The GOOD thing is...

...that when word gets out that he's gone, the violence and bloodshed will subside. The loyalists and the mercs will have no reason to go on.

[liberaltrucker]

25. Son on CNN now
