In a state television address late Sunday, Col. Gaddafi said he is preparing for a long war and that he won’t concede to Western nations he says only want Libya’s oil. “You are terrorists. You are fighting a people that hasn’t invited you,” he said. “Libya has become a hell in the face of enemies. This is an unjustified aggression.”
The others were scolded and threatened, told that “Libya is not yours. Libya is for all Libyans,” and that they have “no right to interfere in our internal affairs.”
Observers say the embattled leader has become far more desperate since Thursday’s UN security council resolution to use all force necessary against Col. Gaddafi.
From a defence perspective, Col. Gaddafi could be intentionally playing softball with the U.S. president, perhaps interpreting America’s slow entry into conflict as a positive sign, said Jeffrey White, a defence fellow also from the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
“He’s someone who feels he can appeal to Obama, and [it suggests he] thinks Obama could be the weak link because of his dragging his feet on military operations until the last minute,” he said.

Just like the old Robin Williams’ routine about Kadaffy:
“Here’s a man who had the audacity to go: “This is the ‘Line of Death.’ You cross it, you die.” {Pause}
“Okay, you cross this line, you die.” {Pause}
“Okay, you cross this line, you die.”
“This line, you die.”
“Okay, you’re knocking on my door, I’m not coming out. Naaaaah”
-Robin Williams
I don't like to agree with crazy dictators, but he does have a point there. Obama IS the weak link
