ABC’s Christiane Amanpour landed an interview with Libya’s lunatic Colonel Muammar Gaddafi (or Gadhafi, as ABC spells it) and learned a little something about love.
ABC, obviously, has the details:
I interviewed Col. Moammar Gadhafi this evening, when he told me he could not step down because he is not a president or king, and denied there were demonstrations against him anywhere in Libya.
“My people love me. They would die for me,” he said.
We conducted the interview at a restaurant in the Corniche, a coastal road on Tripoli’s Mediterranean coast. Gadhafi, dressed in a brown-orange robe, drove up in a small convoy of sedans, got out and greeted us. He said he wanted to get the truth out, and he spent more than an hour with us trying to put forth his side of the story for us.
Libya’s longtime leader laughed when I asked him whether he would step down in response to calls against violence by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Obama. He invited the United Nations and any other organization to come to Libya and do a “fact finding mission” and questioned how they could freeze assets, impose sanctions and implement a travel ban based purely on media reports.
There you have it. Muammar hates the media.
Maybe he’s not such a bad guy after all.
