His speech was broadcast, the Zawiya in the city, which was taken back to the rebels after the fighting is intense at the beginning of the revolt of supporters.
Comments came after the United States to recognise the authority in Libya, "the ECB and the legitimate:" argument.

There was also a weekend in Zlitan,, rally, where more than 40 000 people-some of them bussed-in the main square of the sound to the Colonel took over their backing.
On Friday, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced the United States no longer considers him a legitimate authority, that recognize the Council of the transnational (TNC), joining some 30 to do so.
This means that the billions of dollars in US banks to the Libyan frozen funds could be released by the rebels.

On the basis of precedent, there is no reason whatsoever to support western intervention in Libya. From the French invasion of Egypt in 1798 onwards, every single western attack on an Arab country has ended badly and often appallingly for the local people.
The trumpet majors blowing the horns of war in Libya are David Cameron and William Hague, the voices of the British establishment. Hague insists that Muammar Qadhafi must forever leave the country where he was born. Who is William Hague to make such a demand? In Libya we are being asked to make a choice between two unacceptable choices, continuation of the government in Tripoli or its overthrow by the West. For, let us be clear about this, the rebels in Benghazi have no hope of overthrowing this government on its own, despite a month of air attacks by French, British and US aircraft, the firing of hundreds of Tomahawk missiles into Libya from US warships and the appearance in the rebel ranks of sophisticated new weapons. This breaches the provisions of UN Security Council resolution 1973, forbidding the provision of arms to anyone in Libya, not just the government in Tripoli. Now the British, the French and the US are planning armed intervention on the ground, in the name of humanitarian relief, but with the forces to be sent to Libya empowered to 'defend themselves' if attacked.
This operation is being planned in the offices of Catherine Ashton, the EU's 'high representative' for foreign affairs and security. Ashton has a tremendous capacity for standing in front of the cameras saying nothing of any importance to anyone. She is the worst regarded of all EU commissioners. She was appointed to the position with no experience in foreign policy and no qualification other than being Tony Blair's friend (he had her made a baroness). She now speaks for the EU in the Middle East quartet designed to 'mediate' with the 'peace process'. There is no 'peace process', of course. The quartet simply fusses around, and behind the appearance of doing something, actually does nothing but blur still further the reasons why there is no peace. Blair, the man who helped deliver death and destruction to the Iraqi people on a massive scale, not once but twice (between 1991-2002 and from 2003 to the present) is the quartet's special representative. For such a sibilantly pernicious body, both appointments are entirely appropriate. The quartet effectively blamed the Hamas government for the Israeli onslaught of 2008 and Ashton deals only with Ramallah. She is talking of a Palestinian state by September, which, reduced to its essentials, means she thinks Mahmud Abbas can be persuaded to sign a scrap of paper selling out what he has not sold already by September. That is the extent of her commitment to 'peace' in Palestine.
Britain, France and the US are no friends of the Arab revolution. Caught off guard, they are scrambling to regain control. The US supported Mubarak to the bitter end. Only then did Hillary, with incredible but no more than usual gall, arrive in Cairo to proclaim that her government stood on the side of the people. Across the Middle East, behind the scenes, the US will be working hard to make sure that the more things change, apparently, the more they stay the same. In Egypt they will be working on and through General Tantawi, Mubarak's old ally and the head of the military transitional government. He is completely distrusted by the people who launched the revolution from Tahrir Square. The Americans are likely also to be negotiating with the Muslim Brotherhood, whose support for cosmetic constitutional changes rather than real ones ensured their endorsement through a national referendum. In the gulf the Saudis and the Khalifas of Bahrain are to be supported whatever their violations of human rights.
In the name of the same violations of human rights, Syria has to be confined, squeezed and subverted. Syrians are demanding the same democratic reforms as everyone else, and they have every right to do so, but it would be naïve in the extreme to think that Israel, the US and most probably the Saudis, operating through salafi groups, crossing the border from Jordan, are not trying to turn the Arab revolution into a missile aimed straight at the government of Bashar al Assad. Their intelligence services wouldn't be doing their job if they weren't involved. The downfall of the Ba'athist regime would a tremendous victory, for Israel in particular, splitting the strategic alliance between Iran and Hizbullah. The regime's enemies have wanted it for years, and now the Arab revolution is giving them the opportunity.
Libya is a particular case. Tony Blair brought Muammar Qadhafi out of the cold, so we are told. Actually, it was Qadhafi who came to Blair's rescue, by providing him evidence that there were weapons of mass destruction in the Arab world, or plans for making them, after all, and he, Tony Blair, had persuaded at least one Arab leader to give them up. In fact, while he had contemplated the possibility, and may have had plans, there was never any evidence that Qadhafi was developing nuclear weapons. Like Saddam, Qadhafi was someone the Europeans and Americans would deal with only for as long as he suited their purposes. In the 1980s Ronald Reagan tried to kill him and now the Arab revolution has given the west the opportunity to get rid of this irritant once and for all. Documents just released show that the Blair government, ahead of the invasion of Iraq in 2003, was in discussion with the oil companies about how the profits would be shared in the post-Saddam era. Blair's denial that oil had any effect on his decision to support the invasion was just another of his lies. Are his successors in government likely to be thinking any differently about Libya? Not likely. Recognising their avarice, the 'rebels' in Benghazi have quickly set up their own oil company, establishing the facade behind which the governments supporting them can get their hands on Libya's oil on terms to suit themselves – just like Iraq.
UNSC resolution 1973 was the thin end of the wedge. It has been widened progressively since it was passed. Initially setting up just a 'no fly' zone, its terms have been manipulated (in the name of protecting civilians) to include aerial attacks on government ground forces and installations and the provision of weaponry to the 'rebels'. Many civilians have been killed in the process. It is not all one way, as one might think from watching Al Jazeera or reading the London Guardian. Without NATO bombardment and the supply of weaponry from outside to the rebels (in clear breach of UNSC resolution 1973) this conflict would have long since ended. NATO involvement and the promise of a widening attack has ensured the continuation of fighting and has emboldened the rebels to strike positions which would otherwise be untenable. They have rejected offers of a ceasefire and negotiations coming from Tripoli and the African Union. They are demanding that Qadhafi leave the country, which, surely, should be the end point and not the starting point of negotiations. Unable to win this conflict on their own, the 'rebels' want NATO to win it for them, even if that means the entry of foreign troops into their country.
So, make your choice. A continuation of Libya as it was, with all its faults or something new and unknown imposed by governments which have dealt death and destruction to the Middle East for two centuries and have never intervened in the region except out of commercial and strategic self-interest. The rebels are brave, no doubt, but to get what they want they, their leaders in the 'transitional government' are prepared to sell their souls to the devil. Even now we don't know who all these figures are, but they include figures with Al Qaida and CIA connections. Try to think of how this situation might look in a year's time, if, against all odds, Qadhafi succeeds in holding on. Libya will effectively be divided. The oil terminals will be 'protected' by NATO bombardment, pumping oil to the west in the name of the government established in Benghazi. While the fighting is going on the governments of the UK, France, Italy and the US, and no doubt others, will be making arrangements with Benghazi for the 'reconstruction' and 'redevelopment' of Libya's oil resources. (No doubt they are doing it already.) Because troops guarding sacks of flour will have been killed in shelling by 'Qadhafi's forces', it will have been found necessary to send in more troops, along with foreign contractors assigned to guarding 'key' installations. Properly packaged, as it will be, the public will buy into this. Thousands of civilians will have been killed. Al Qaida of the Maghrib will be taking advantage of the chaos to create chaos of its own. Like Iraq, Libya will have been destroyed as a unitary Arab state. Whatever was decided in UNSC resolution 1973 will have long since been forgotten. It will have served and outlived its purposes. Dependent on the west, the government in Benghazi will be beholden to it. Libyans want democratic government, of course, and they want to get rid of Qadhafi, but is this the way to do it?

TEHRAN (AFP)-the United States of America and the West associates are recurring "errors" by Libya, Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Sunday as he hosts the regional leaders to celebrate the Persian new year.
"It is appropriate, they (the United States and its allies) on the shelf ... despotic rulers, and, where appropriate, in order to enable them to sacrifice their own interests," Ahmadinejad said the Libyan strongman Moamer Kadhafi's military campaign against a reference.
"In spite of the clear lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan have taught them the people and the wrath of public opinion, in spite of the oppressive Governments are repeating the errors," he said.
The Western-led military strikes began on March 19 in Libya to front (black area), the armed rebellion against Kadhafi. Missions continued to protect the system against the forces of Saturday civilians, the Pentagon said.
"Various pretexts, they bomb innocent civilians and destroy them in other countries, the infrastructure to manage," Ahmadinejad is added to the information system to collect the address of a dozen officials of the regional countries.
Jalal Talabani of Iraq's President, Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan and Tajikistan, Armenia Serzh Sargsyan and Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov: Emomali Rakhmon at the invitation of Tehran Ahmadinejad are, or Nowruz, the Persian celeberate the new year, which marks the transition from winter to the spring.
Ahmadinejad said the event should be sent "a message of peace and justice in the world", but it used to contain a reference to the West, accused of "cheap energy" and "wage war" of the economic crisis.
"The Warplanes, missiles and bombs are in the United States and its allies," he said.
Iranian officials have criticized the military intervention in Libya, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, saying the campaign was launched to get the oil to the North African country, a top leader of the control.
Tehran two days of ceremonies in the Nowruz, the participating officials is expected to meet Khamenei later.
It is called regional leaders to Ahmadinejad to celebrate Nowruz is the second straight year. Conservative leaders have criticized the celebration of this year, when the deadly anti-government protests rocked the Arab countries.

While Gaddafi's planes are flying to kill, Libyans are dying in the plains of the desert. Since oil is thicker than blood the Europeans and Americans are deliberating and divided on whether to save Libyans from an almost guaranteed mass slaughter by establishing a No Fly Zone to ground Gadaffi’s fighter jets that can determine the outcome of the conflict between a ruthless dictator and a people fighting for their freedom from his rule and the politics of oil.
Only two European nations thus far, France and Britain, have taken the principled and humanitarian position that an immediate No Fly Zone is necessary to stop Gadaffi’s slaughter of his people. Germany under the pretext of non military intervention in Libya has nevertheless sent thousands of its troops as part of NATO’s mission in Afghanistan where civilians on a daily basis are murdered by fighter jets and drones. Recently nine innocent boys were killed by NATO helicopters (March 2) who mistook the boys collecting firewood for insurgents. Yet the Conservative Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, who knows first hand of life under the brutal Soviet regime, by her opposition to the no fly zone, is surrendering and sacrificing the lives of innocent Libyans to a blood thirsty dictator thereby denying them the freedom they cry for. Merkel’s policy is not only hypocritical but goes against the German public’s support for a No Fly Zone.
Russia opposes establishing a No Fly Zone over Libya because it fears another Western intervention and perhaps occupation of an African nation having already invaded and occupied Iraq, Afghanistan, with enormous influence over Pakistan. It does not wish to see a western presence in Libya with its vast oil reserves, the largest in Africa.
Libyan oil is not only coveted but it has the highest quality “sweet” crude oil in the world making it easily refinable into gasoline and diesel due to its lower content of sulfur, an environmentally safer and cleaner oil to burn. Saudi oil has a higher content of sulfur and thus is more expensive to refine.
President Obama, as is customary in his execution of foreign policy, has shown weak leadership in the E.U. and the U.N. in establishing a No Fly Zone over Libya despite Congressional support, even from the Republican Party that has never shied away from U.S. foreign military interventions to project U.S. power worldwide. Although he’s demanded Gaddafi step down he’s taken no steps to facilitate the end of his dictatorial rule that has lasted for forty two years.
Perhaps Obama prefers the devil he knows to the freedom fighters he doesn’t know lest they be “Islamists” and spread their violent ideology to neighboring Algeria, another oil producing Arab nation, or even use their new found oil wealth to destabilize Saudi Arabia ad the Gulf nations.
When the U.S perceives its interests are threatened it doesn’t resort to the United Nations Security Council or seeks any approval from the E.U., NATO, Russia, or China for it to act unilaterally and militarily as it did in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and many other Asian, Central and South American nations.
Yet in Libya the U.S. is caught between exporting freedom, importing oil, and the private vociferous objections of Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States, and Israel lest the No Fly Zone sets a precedent for interference in other Arab oil exporting nations whose populace may rise demanding their freedom, most importantly Saudi Arabia that unilaterally invaded Bahrain to shore up its Monarchy in contravention of the U.N. Charter, yet has not faced any U.S., E.U., Russian, or Chinese condemnation much less a U.N. Security Council Resolution akin to when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. Obviously U.N. Security Council Resolutions led by the U.S. are passed and implemented depending on who the violators and victims are.
Imposing sanctions has been a historical joke and failure. They have not impacted any nation or leader to change course. From Cuba, to Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Iran, North Korea, and Gaza, the sanctions have only been a mild challenge to countries and corporations wishing to do business with these nations. Even Vice President Dick Cheney’s Halliburton oil company did business with Iran despite U.S. sanctions.
The U.N. imposed sanctions on Libya only to ignore the open violation of the sanctions by Greece as it sent a large oil transport ship bound to Gaddafi’s Tripoli only to be intercepted by Libya’s freedom fighters. (1)
The U.N. Security Council is scheduled to meet Wednesday, March 17, to discuss and possibly vote on establishing a No Fly Zone to save Libyans from the continuing slaughter and advancement of Gaddafi’s foreign mercenary forces who depend on air power to overwhelm the freedom fighters. Both the Libyan people and the entire Arab League have asked the U.N.S.C. to establish the no fly zone over Libya.
Yet Europe, the U.S. and Russia are playing the spin game blaming each other on the feasibility and potential outcome (s) of such a decision. Without strong U.S. leadership it’s difficult to ascertain the outcome of the U.N.S.C. vote.
To the Arab world Obama was late in recognizing and supporting the revolutions in Tunis and Egypt. To them it’s apparent that when U.S policy deals with the Arab world America’s position is that oil is thicker than Arab blood, but when it comes to Israel its support is immediate and without question. It is this hypocrisy and double standard that has lost America the Arab and Muslim street and accounts for the animosity they adopt against U.S. foreign policy, but not toward the American people or culture that they deeply admire and emulate.
Such an assessment was expressed by the Pentagon’s Defense Policy Council:
“Muslims do not hate our freedom, but rather they hate our policies. The overwhelming majority voice their objections to what they see as one-sided support in favor of Israel and against Palestinian rights, and the long-standing, even increasing, support for what Muslims collectively see as tyrannies, most notably Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Pakistan and the Gulf states. Thus, when American public diplomacy talks about bringing democracy to Islamic societies, this is seen as no more than self-serving hypocrisy.” -- (Report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on Strategic Communication, September 2004 (Also reported in Christian Science Monitor November 29, 2004.)
Until the U.S. can demonstrate a fair and balanced approach to the Arab and Muslim world that their lives, humanity, human rights, independence, sovereignty and freedom are as equal and valuable as that of Israelis and the rest of humanity, America’s oil based economy will be threatened and could lead the country into a spiral depression. The free Arab street will be unforgiving of America if it fails to protect the Libyan people from an eventual slaughter. A failure to establish a No Fly Zone will only empower Al Qaida and all extremist elements in the Muslim world that America is indeed an enemy of Islam and Muslims and can never be trusted. In the Arab and Muslim world the U.S. has long been on the wrong side of history in its blanket support of Israel’s military hegemony and occupation of Arab land and its self centered support of Arab Tyrants.
If the U.N. Security Council does not immediately adopt and establish a No Fly Zone over Libya which will save the lives of countless Libyans and allow Gaddafi to continue his rule which will even be more ruthless and merciless against his people then the value and mission of the United Nations, which already suffers in the Arab world, as well the exhortation of the West that their goal is to free humanity from tyranny and establish democracies of the people, by the people, and for the people rings as hollow as the Declaration of Independence’s noble idealism “that all men are created equal”; when in practice it only rang for white men in power and not for oppressed.
With Libya under tyrannical siege the world in the body of the United Nations once again faces a crossroad to destiny. Whether it has learned the lessons of history that Tyrants left to their will are prone to war and genocide, or whether it will meet the reasonability of its Charter and existence as phrased by President Harry Truman who said:
“The United Nations is designed to make possible lasting freedom and independence for all its members.”
What is Libya’s fate? Is it freedom or tyranny? We will soon learn the monumental outcome that Obama and the United Nations will make in not only determining the future of Libya but for all people’s who seek the freedom endowed to them by their Creator but are often denied by the powers that be.

' If you want to get a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face-forever. '--George Orwell.
Bombing of Libya will begin or almost on the day of the eighth anniversary of the beginning of the destruction of Iraq, 20 March, in Europe. Libya will also be destroyed-its schools, the education system, water, infrastructure, hospitals, municipal buildings. There will be several "tragic mistakes", "collateral damage", mothers, fathers, children, babies, grandparents, blind and deaf schools and on and on. And wonders of the world of Roman remains and a former predominantly enduring and revered in all of history as Iraq, turmoils the country's history and humanity, again as Iraq and Afghanistan, will be gone, forever.
The infrastructure will be destroyed. Embargo remains in place, so rebuild will be impossible. United Kingdom, France and the U.S.., decides the country needs to "stabilize", "help with reconstruction." They will move in, secure the oil installations and oil fields, the Libyan population will be incidental generation and quickly become "the enemy", "insurgents" will be shot, imprisoned, tortured, abused-and U.S.-friendly puppet "Government" will be installed.
The attackers will reward businesses rebuilding contracts, money-probably taken from Libya's frozen assets without accounting-will disappear and the country will remain largely in ruins.
And highest cheerleaders, such as Iraq, want to run round the tv and radio stations in London, Europe and the United States then returning to their safe apartments and their UK/United States/Europe paid tenures, in the knowledge that no bombs to drop them. their children will not shake the uncontrollable and soiling himself with terror at the sound of approaching aircraft.
And this Libyan "shock and Awe"? Shame shame on France, United Kingdom and the United States and the UN's acknowledged: "... to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war." Each shattered body each child maimed or blown to bits, each widow, widower, rare diseases, will have their name on these countries and the UN., written in their blood in their place of death.
And the public of these murderous, marauding Western ram raiders, will know that we bring democracy, liberating Libya from a tyrant from "New Hitler", "the butcher in Bengazi."
Those countries which have ganged together these last days, in order to overthrow a sovereign Government has, once again, arguably, conspired in Nürnbergs: "... Supreme international crime, differs only from other war crimes, contains in itself the whole accumulated evil", and once again plotted to overthrow a sovereign Government, with a fig leaf "legality" from an arm twisted UN. We have seen it all before.
In time, it will emerge as a stirring, bribe, de-stabilizing-and probably a few will be surprised by the results. But before then, Libya is broken for a long time and its population, refugees, displaced persons, in despair.
When it comes to handling the usual "liberators", be careful what you want. In six months or so, most Libyans, notwithstanding the deficiencies in the last 40 years of rule, regret the day.

18 March 2011, last updated at 15: 04 ET President Obama: "the American leadership is important," the Libyan leader, Colonel al-Gaddafi must comply with UN demands or face military action, US President Barack Obama says.
Mr. Obama said Thursday the United Nations resolution, which called for an immediate ceasefire was not negotiable.
He said the entire region could be destabilised if Col al-Gaddafi had the opportunity to continue to attack their own people.
Al-Gaddafi-system announced in the past, it had stopped fighting with the rebels and the UN Security Council resolution to monitor the promised.
Mr Obama said the forces must pull Col al-Gaddafi, back to the rebel-held cities, including Benghazi, and the authorities must allow for humanitarian aid.
"If he does not meet the requirements of the international community set the consequences," said Mr. Obama. "The resolution to be military action."
But the President stressed that the initiative at the international level.
"The United States does not intend to use the surface of the ground forces in Libya and we will use force is not yet beyond the strictly objective, in particular Libya, the civilians," he said.
Col al-Gaddafi Libya has held more than 40 years. Uprising against him in recent months after daily began as the leaders of the neighbouring countries of Tunisia and Egypt toppled.
WASHINGTON — the Obama administration on Tuesday condemned the "appalling" violence in Libya, where security forces unleashed a bloody crackdown on protesters demanding was driven out of his leader Moammar Gadhafi.
"This violence is totally unacceptable," said Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. "We believe that the Government of Libya is responsible for what is occurring and to take measures to end the violence."
Video of Gaddafi about protesters
But as it sought to safely get out U.S. diplomats and other Americans from the spread chaos, Washington stopped criticise Gadhafi personally or demanding that he step. U.S. officials, who spoke for the matter to the public on Tuesday, including Clinton, will not mention Gadhafi by name.
Discomfort over U.S. citizens ' security intensified after getting some Monday and Tuesday kundescenario was tekstombrydningsfunktionen Gadhafis concern over unpredictable behavior, and late Tuesday, State Department announced that American citizens would be evacuated from Libya with ferry to the Mediterranean island of Malta.
In a message sent to U.S. citizens in Libya, said the Department of Americans want to leave the country should be As-shahab port of Tripoli with their passports starts at 9 a.m. local time on Wednesday for a departure not later than 3 p.m. local time.
This means Gadhafi — once called "the mad dog in the Middle East" by President Ronald Reagan — has long flummoxed U.S. officials. He is notoriously unpredictable and has been known to fly into rages on real or perceived slights.
Obama administration does not outline any specific steps to coerce or punish the Libyan regime, with which the United States have built a careful partnership after years branding Gadhafi a terrorist sponsor. After decades of hostility normalized United States and Libya tape under President George w. Bush's presidency after Gadhafi renounced terrorism and weapons of mass destruction, but the connections have been far from fully warm.
U.S. officials said Washington would join other Nations to resolve Libyan behavior of Security Council of the UNITED NATIONS. The renewed calls to Gadhafis Government to speak with opponents and threw the political unrest there as part of a regional uprising against political and economic stagnation, which addressed by Arab Governments of the Middle East and North Africa.
