Gaddafi appears to be on his way out
Edited on Sun Aug-21-11 06:46 PM by nadinbrzezinski
The endgame in Libya appears near, according to Western intelligence sources, who say that Moammar Gaddafi’s family has been moving money and other assets outside the country over the past five days in anticipation of the regime’s collapse. According to these sources, Gaddafi has left Tripoli but is still in the country.

Intelligence officers from Britain and France are said to have helped the rebels plan their final assault on Tripoli, which appeared Sunday to have pushed into the capital’s outskirts. This final thrust seems to have been well-coordinated, with the rebels closing in along several strategic axes.

In the past week, the NATO coalition’s sometimes frustrating strategy finally seems to have jelled, with the capture of Zawiyah, a strategic oil-refining center west of the capital. Gaddafi’s troops have failed to rally — perhaps because they are finally feeling the squeeze of the coalition’s strategy to bleed them of money and resources until the regime finally implodes.

4. Chavez demands physical Gold
and Libya is taken in 2 days.... Coincidence? I think not. Look at any physical gold holdings chart and you can see who is really behind Libya taken over after Chavez has made his demands
