one knows who these people are in reality we know just one person who formerly worked as part of mr gadhafi his entourage but all the others are total strangers more than that there is no information regarding the degree of consolidation of the libyan opposition the case in point quite likely is different centers in different provinces in our country it must be said incidentally that the latest events in libya indicate that mr gadhafi is not going to surrender quickly there are loyalty problems in his armed forces in the police force but as long as the libyan army retains its positions in libya and wins victories over the libyan opposition it's a mistake to say that the collapse of the gadhafi regime is just around the corner this is why to my mind the west so far has been playing games for its own consumption they hold meetings with all sorts of people trying to invest in their powers but that has nothing to do with the agenda of stabilizing the situation in this north african country and what have you with them i think no one knows today what's narea is the optimal the problem is we don't

david it seems those are kind of dangerous words because it looks like mr gadhafi and we were i guess we can all well imagine his regime hasn't really learned very much what's happened over the last few weeks in his country still blaming outside forces here i mean this is creating such a deadlock they don't and i agree maybe i stand corrected maybe we are on the endgame of something maybe the endgame of some what some people call rebels in in libya but the libyan people are probably probably not going to be satisfied with a rule moving forward after what forty one years and after what he's does he's done to his people his military has done and probably will do in the immediate future i think the problem is that reform of the jumma area system is virtually impossible because duffy devised you have a hideous system himself and it's very much embodied in his personality his it's his idea of of the fact there is no government as such there are no institution to not to deliberate ploy to sort of prevent. the growth of rival sources of power to him and so you have this idea that you have lo

know him quite well he's been brought into the cold and now he's back in the deep freeze here and mr gadhafi the new hitler of the region if i can use that term he's become very convenient for a lot of interests number one slow down the the reform movement the democratic reform movement in the arab world we have again western intervention in a muslim country and we have dictatorships that are saying well who had stood that the military is back to to create order where there is chaos and you know libya is the epicenter what do you think of that narrative of my being too extreme. no i don't think so at all i think that one of the reasons that obama has gone into libya is to distract people from the fact that the united states supports most of these dictators and certainly we don't want to have any sort of comparison with bahrain where we are supporting the government against the protesters and i mean in the military intervention in libya here i mean there was no public debate at least in the united states very little in europe i mean i can remember all of many of the wars all twenty three of t

significant support and insists kill rather die in the name of the revolution than surrender so who is mr gadhafi here is the man who knows him personally. a military coup which began in libya's second largest city of benghazi forty years ago brought the young market duffy to the pinnacle of the country's politics but today's rebel and ghazi has reason to shake off its call my favorite account gadhafi won't give up and he's using barbaric methods to suppress the rebels and strikes and shelling of the crowds of protesters quickly made the dictator a deeply unpopular and welcomed figure among the old leaders. how mr thank you very much for being with us thank you for an official welcome back you're always welcome in the studio my studio like your my studio is yours and you are bring your friends one of your friends is mr perfect maybe i will leave you like remains under not only the reason for my coming listen here you you really you met him two years ago everyone of the year one of the you are rare breed one of the few people who spent an hour one to one witness to correct your impression of. the

and mr gadhafi. well the uprising has reached a bit of a stalemate could obvious forces did try to take some of the nearby towns that are held by rebels and was unsuccessful but. the rebels have also been unable to penetrate tripoli and so there's a bit of a standoff in terms of the military situation into. as of the international community the news is tightening around colonel gadhafi but it still could be a very long time before you go one of the key questions is to what degree the financial squeeze is successful or in making it very difficult for his government to function or to what degree does the rebel force. a mass all around tripoli and manage to make some kind of inroads that does not mark imminent so we may be in for our a longer drama than we saw on either neighboring tunisia or egypt i've heard that his government is basically governed by mafia you know that the people around him are. unlike normal governments in large part because libya is so large so tribal so it was so diverse. is is t

the price of oil because they are all tightly interconnected in the oil producers and i must say mr gadhafi must be extremely happy right now with what's happened in japan and. the powers that be brain there must be very happy as well because the addiction to oil remains doesn't change ok but you know obviously as you pointed out here we have different opinions in media and how to look at it on the car energy for civilian use what's the triad for you what do we push what do we drop push away from just to keep away from a double dip. i don't think we can avoid the double dip peter i'm sorry to sign so pessimistic it may not be particularly deep trouble there but i think it still has to happen all prices are simply too high for it to manage to sustain the economy and as you say the addiction is there and it's going to stay there equally i think in terms of what's going to take place in japan it's going to obviously be a long road to rebuild and we wished upon every success within that in terms of the nuclear debate i'm sorry i really totally disagree with lloyd i mean i think lloyd is coming

regime change is being criminalized and demonized in the press we don't really know yet what exactly mr gadhafi has done we have seen that there's all sorts of contradictory reports we have people on c.n.n. and al-jazeera libyans as well as commentators saying one thing and then we have other libyans saying something completely different and even the rebels themselves they're not there's different stories coming out of them so really i would i would regard all the reports coming out of libya with a huge grain of salt modern of what. modern media history since probably doesn't storm in especially bosnia and kosovo has shown us is that. there's a whole dimension to warfare that is being conducted in the media that it's perception management and it's too late if you discover several years down the road that the stories that everybody believed were true ended up being complete fabrications and fakes because nobody ever is called to answer for those fabrications and by then everything's already been settled and nobody cares what you think the consequences will be if there is a military intervention
