Muammar Gaddafi fears flying over water, prefers staying on the ground floor and almost never travels without his trusted Ukrainian nurse, a “voluptuous blonde,” according to a US document released by WikiLeaks late 2010.
quote:
Gaddafi's choice of bodyguards has been the subject of much media attention. His 40-member bodyguard contingent, known as the Amazonian Guard, is entirely female. All women who qualify for duty supposedly must be virgins, and are hand-picked by Gaddafi himself. They are trained in the use of firearms and martial arts at a special academy before entering service.

can't do much when the leader you're trying to oust has fully control of the armed forces.
Just wait till a general's grandson gets killed randomly or something.
Also people like being patriotic... as much as the military is conservative it doesn't like feeling like it's against the majority of the people.

Two Libyan Air Force Mirage jet fighters unexpectedly flew to Malta this afternoon with their pilots claiming they escaped to Malta after having been ordered to bomb protesters who have taken control of the second city of Benghazi.
Yea reports are coming in that they are now bombing the city, randomly... Gunships are also flying around shooting people up.
ing insane. :eyespop:

And the U.S. State Department ordered all U.S. citizens out, too. Personally, I wouldn't mind if we sent in some jets to scuttle their military after what I've been hearing and seeing coming out of there. Bombing civilians is pretty sick.

No wonder CNN said Gadhafi declared war on the Libyan people! Jesus Christ, that's insane :wtf:
