Yes, Qadaffi stinks—both literally and figuratively.
Excellent point :)
Oh my...
1626: UK Foreign Minister William Hague says he has seen some information suggesting Libya’s Col Gaddafi is on his way to Venezuela, Reuters reports.
Gaddafi is reportedly on his way to Venezuela.
May not be such a good move for Chavez, as Venezuelans may get the idea they, too, should run their dictator out of the country.
Al Jazerra just reported the Gaddafi might have fled to Venezuela

What’s the world coming to.
Freepers hanging on to the words of Al Jazeera...
Though reporting from the region they do provide coverage. Quite professional coverage as well. I think a lot of both the front and backroom staff there were acquired from BBC World.

If you look close at the photo on drudgereport, Gaddafi’s oil wealth appears to have gotten him a nose from the same doctor who treated Michael Jackson.

Laughing nervously, while posting this. American media, formerly the standard all other media was judged, is now running to the lowest peg on the ladder, and digging a hole to hide the truth in, except for some talk radio and FR. The once formerly great American media has become Pravda, all day, all the time ... mho

It seems the British Foreign Minister is the one behind the rumor that Qaddafi is on his way to Venezuela.
