A defiant Muammar al-Qaddafi threatened Friday to carry out attacks in Europe against "homes, offices, families," unless NATO halts its campaign of airstrikes against his regime in Libya.
The Libyan leader, sought by the International Criminal Court for a brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters, delivered the warning in a telephone message played to thousands of supporters gathered in the main square of the capital Tripoli.
It was one of the largest pro-government rallies in recent months, signaling that Qaddafi can still muster significant support. A green cloth, several hundred meters long and held aloft by supporters, snaked above the crowd filling Tripoli's Green Square. Green is Libya's national color.

Qaddafi spoke from an unknown location in a likely sign of concern over his safety. Addressing the West, Qaddafi warned that Libyans might take revenge for NATO bombings.
"These people (the Libyans) are able to one day take this battle ... to Europe, to target your homes, offices, families, which would become legitimate military targets, like you have targeted our homes," he said.
"We can decide to treat you in a similar way," he said of the Europeans. "If we decide to, we are able to move to Europe like locusts, like bees. We advise you to retreat before you are dealt a disaster."
It was not immediately clear whether Qaddafi could make good on such threats.
In the past, Qaddafi supported various militant groups, including the IRA and several Palestinian factions, while Libyan agents were blamed for attacks in Europe, including a Berlin disco bombing in 1986 and the downing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, that killed 270 people, mostly Americans. Libya later acknowledged responsibility for Lockerbie.

We have to know where he is hiding out.
Instead of using some puny little guided missile -
- why not use a “Daisy Cutter” and get rid of him and ALL of his associates in one felled swoop.
Simpler just to stop the BS as Qadaffi is requesting before anything like that happens. Free people should not fight wars over base causes and this one is super-base. It's about that $5T which Libya owns and George Soros and Bork obunga wanting to control it. No other reason would the slammite bro-hood set up a central bank before they even have a country. Basically, George and Bork are trying to use US military assets to perpetrate something terribly close to a bank robbery.
That might have been true in 1940 but it would be highly questionable at present when Germany is averaging 1.4 children per family. Attempting it could easily spark rebellion in Europe particularly given the baseness of the cause.
Even a slingshot, if it hits Qaddafi. The problem with Europe is that they won’t do zilch unless heavily pressed to. They don’t want Qadaffi out, not yet, and they’re not sure themselves where they’ll want him. A bit of action inside Italy, for example, and they’ll worry just a bit, maybe enough to say “know what? I don’t care, take him out”.
Farrakhan's boys are probably getting ready here in the states.
Qaddafi is probably Living in Florida by now.
