I am watching Muammar Gaddafi deliver a speech on Libyan state TV, which is being carried live with a translation by Al Jazeera English. The setting appears to be some kind of a ruin. Perhaps it's a site with historic significance, but the setting is very strange. The speech is even stranger.
It's delivered in staccato bursts, followed periodically by prolonged pauses and deep sighs for breath. It's filled with declarations that he doesn't blame the youth, but when they're captured and beg for mercy, he won't be merciful this time. He continually refers to the protestors as "rats," "greasy rats," and other kinds of vermin. If I understood corrrectly (and it's got to be EXTREMELY difficult to translate this kind of speech), he accuses the U.S. of having occupied Benghazi and other areas of eastern Libya. Now he's giving a list of all the things for which people will get the death penalty.
I'll close now and put further observations in the comments, but if you can watch this, do so. It's like watching Hitler ordering the subway tunnels in Berlin to be flooded, even after he was told that civilians were hiding there as shelter from the bombing and artillery fire.
