Qaddafi has gone crazy in Libya. News reports say that he is increasingly losing control over many parts of the country, and his goons, and hired foreign mercenaries are literally walking the streets and shooting down protesters. Meanwhile, Qaddafi has called these protestors cochroaches and promised to whoever still supports him that he will fight to the last drop of blood. His equally crazy son, who was probably to succeed after him, has said his dad will fight to the last bullet.
In a big news, two Mirage jets of the Libyan Air Force were ordered to fire on the protesters. The pilots, two colonels in the Air Force, refused, flew the jets to Malta, and have asked for political asylum. This is big.

There are news reports that say that Qaddafi is actually planning to sabotage his nation's oil wealth by blasting pipelines and inciting violence among tribes if he ever does go down fighting. Thousands have already been killed in Libya, and I will not be surprised before Qaddafi kills a few thousand more. Its going down man. Wonder what will happen next. Will KSA be affected? No middle east coverage today is complete without commenting on what the Americans are thinking. Shit, their well laid plans in the region that stood the test of time and money for decades seems to be crumbling apart. The bogey of Islamic fundamentalism has already been raised many times, but only time will tell how the middle east will shape in the future.
