The Wheels Aren't Up Yet--But Soon--the Libyan Revolution

NATO called on Gaddafi to leave before there is more bloodshed. The UK told him "Go Now!" Prime Minister Cameron said," The regime is now finished."

Al Jazerra reported that the Africa Union had been frantically mediating with Gaddafi and his family through the South Africans to resettle Gaddafi in exile. The South Africans have sent two planes to Tripoli,which are standing on the tarmac. Because South Africa is a signatory to the ICC, he could only offer Gaddafi two options--Angola or Zimbabwe. Gaddafi has always had a close relationship with Robert Mugabe.

NATO forces bombed Gaddafi's compound in the Bab al-Azziziya section of Tripoli. The revolutionary army claimed that all fighting in Tripoli, except in this section had ceased. They captured another Gaddafi son, Mohammed after a firefight. Gaddafi supporters reportedly have dumped their uniforms and fled to neighboring farms along with the mercenaries from Chad.

The capture of Gaddafi's son prompted a statement from the ICC that they confirmed Gaddafi's arrest. This made the crowds in Benghazi go nuts. But Al Arabiya had to retract their report when the ICC corrected their statement to say it was the son, not the father.

Ahmad Bani, the head of the Libyan National Army, confirmed that Gaddafi was in Tripoli and promised,"in 10 minutes, we will be giving the Libyans a big present." I didn't get whether that would be a good or a bad present, since there were reports of army personnel walking around with gas masks on and snipers continuing to fire down into the streets.

A final tweet reports celebrations in Green Square, a place where Gaddafi used to assemble people for demonstrations in support of his regime.
