Beaten Gaddafi Is NOW Prepared To Negotiate Peace

As if we did not know it already, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi is absolutely out of his mind. Tripoli has fallen, there is a bounty of over $1 million on his head, and his entire fleet of golf buggies have been stolen and driven around the place like some kind of bizarre Libya Buggy Cruise. And NOW, Gaddafi says that he is prepared to negotiate peace with the rebels. That is like going bankrupt in a game of Monopoly, and then saying, “Call it a tie?” The rebels must be laughing themselves silly at this. What have the people that the fallen Colonel once called “rats” and “thugs” got to gain from entering into negotiations when they have already all but won. CNN previously reported that it had been in email contact with al-Saadi Gaddafi, who stated his desire to negotiate a ceasefire, saying: "I will try to save my city Tripoli and 2 millions of people living there... otherwise Tripoli will be lost forever like Somalia [becoming] a sea of blood." Gaddafi spokesman Moussa Ibrahim told Associated Press that the Colonel is still in Libya, despite speculation that he has fled to Zimbabwe, one of the few countries he is actually allowed in following the arrest warrant issued by the ICC. Gaddafi no longer has anything to negotiate with, or at least, nothing that the rebels want. They are in control, they hold all of the cards, and so it appears that they have won.
