Gaddafi hit out at the "dogs" who claimed he had fled the country - Does that remind you the words from another dictator?

"I will close the door and hit the dog": Hun Xen
Muammar Gaddafi: I am still in Libya

The regime of Col Muammar Gaddafi of Libya was on the verge of collapse on Monday night, but the dictator hit out at the “dogs” who claimed he had fled the country.

As the violence intensified and indiscriminate shootings were reported in Tripoli, Gaddafi appeared on state television early on Tuesday to deny “malicious reports” he had fled after several cities fell to opposition forces.

Libyan air force jets launched bombing raids on military bases and, it was claimed, rebel areas in a final attempt to reassert control.

Two colonels in the air force flew their jets to Malta, saying they had refused orders to fire on protesters in the second city Benghazi and wanted to seek asylum.

Senior regime figures, including his public security minister, justice minister and seven ambassadors around the world, also deserted Col Gaddafi. Libya’s deputy ambassador to the UN, Ibrahim Omar al-Dabashi, described his leader’s actions as “genocide” and pleaded for international intervention.

In his brief appearance on Libyan television, where he was filmed leaning out of the back of a car holding an umbrella, Gaddafi claimed he was still in Tripoli.

Earlier, William Hague, the Foreign Secretary, said he had seen information to suggest Col Gaddafi was on his way to Venezuela. But in the footage, which could not be authenticated, Gaddafi insisted people should not believe the “dogs” who made such claims. Nicolas Maduro, the Venezuelan foreign minister, also criticised Mr Hague’s “irresponsible” comments.

Pro-democracy campaigners said they believed Gaddafi would head to the southern town of Sebha, where he grew up and which he turned into a stronghold, to make his last stand. “Sebha is Gaddafi’s ancestral home, the place he was brought up and where the people will always be loyal to him,” said one. “If he is there, then there will be a bloodbath because his allies will fight to the last man to defend him.”

Reports from across Libya suggested that a speech on Sunday night by Col Gaddafi’s son, Saif al-Islam, threatening that the regime would “fight to the last bullet” had backfired badly.

After anti-Gaddafi rebels took control of Benghazi, protesters took to the streets of Tripoli, which had previously been less badly affected.

Why do Kos Trol, sea and lands proximately over 10 000 km2 have been lost to Vietnam by who treaty? Why don’t Cambodia goverment transparencies explain to Cambodia army at front line and the whole nation about this? Why don't they include this into education system? Why?

Cambodian armies are fighting at front line for 4.6 km2 and what's about over 10 000km2 of Cambodia to Vietnam. Nobody dare to talk about it! Why? Cambodian armies you are decide the fate of your nation, Cambodian army as well as Cambodian people must rethink about this again and again. Is it fair?

Kos Trol, Sea and lands over 10 000km2 have been lost to Vietnam by who treaty at 1979 to 1985 treaty! Treaty! Cambodian army at front line as well as all Cambodian people must rethink again about these issues. Are Cambodian army fighting to protect the Cambodia Nation or protect a very small group that own big lands, big properties or only protecting a small group rather in the real name of protecting Khmer nation?

Cambodian army at front line suffer under rain, wind, bullets, bombs, lack of foods, lack of nutrition, their families have no health care help, no securities after they die but a very small group eat well, sleep well, sleep in first class hotel with air conditioning with young girls message, have super health care from oversea medical treatment, they are billionaires, millionaires who sell out the country to be rich and make Cambodian people suffer everyday as Cambodian people know already.

Who signed the treaty 1979-1985 that result lost over 10 000 km2 of Cambodia??? Why don't they transparency inform all Cambodian and Cambodian army at front line about these issues? Why don't include Kos Trol (Kos Trol size is bigger than the whole Phom Phen and bigger than Singapoor with heap of great natural resources) in education system in Cambodia.

Look at Hun Sen families, relatives; friends are billionaires, millionaires where do they get the money from if we all just get out of war with empty hands? Hun Sen always say in his speech Cambodia just get up from war, just get up from Zero with empty hands and how come they are billionaires, millionaires but 90% innocent Cambodian people are so poor struggling with living every day.

Smart Khmer girl Ms. Rattana Keo,

Lovely Khmer people,are you dogs?
Khmer people are not DOGS ah Hun Sen.
Hun Sen is Vietnam's DOG.He has been depending on Vietnam to get power.
After being 26 years as a dictator,
he called Khmer people DOGS.
I heard with my own ears,so did million Khmer people.
This was what ah Hun Sen said,"I close the doors and beat the DOGS.
If some groups want to wake up,stand up,and rise up like Tunisia and Egypt".
Why are Khmer people still keeping quiet,not to rise up against ah Hun Sen,CPP,and Vietnam in Cambodia?
Come on! Dare to die for FREEDOM,LIBERTY,and JUSTICE.
STOP HUN SEN FROM CALLING
KHMER PEOPLE DOGS.

No matter how many allies Gaddafi has and how loyal those people are going to be to him, any leader of a country that sends its military to kill its own citizens should expect to be punished severely.

Anyone who is capable of shooting at his own countrymen should be made to feel unwelcome in his country.
