Gaddafi Calls on Supporters to Fight Back

HeadlineAug 26, 2011

Libyan leader Col. Muammar Gaddafi called on his supporters to march on Tripoli and rid the capital of rebels.

Muammar Gaddafi: “Go out to lead them on to the streets and fight. This is the time of martyrdom or victory. Go out in every area, everywhere where the enemy is weak. The enemy is weak. It relies on NATO. NATO is also weak, and NATO is retreating. NATO cannot go on forever in the air, and damn it if it stays in the air. They are immoral. They are monsters. Don’t leave them what the colonialists taught them. The colonialists are even much worse. Don’t leave Tripoli ever to those rats. Never leave them. Fight them. Destroy them.”
