The regime must be close to falling if they're looting his stuff...One also has to wonder whether or not Gaddafi is still in Libya if he left all this stuff behind.

I'm guessing Gaddafi is on his way south, toward Sabha or Sirte. I doubt he would stay in Tripoli where loyalists only control a few neighborhoods and a park.

snazzy hat i might have to fly down there to get one of my ownbluetadomonk

I think that's Gaddafi's only hat. However, his son Khamis has a pretty nice beret. If you can find and kill him, you might be able to keep it. And maybe even receive a reward.

But where would he go then? If he is too far from Libya, sooner or later he is going to have to admit defeat. He won't be welcome in Egypt, Sudan, Tunisia, Chad, or even Algeria (the embassy recently defected). The only hope he has is to dwell within the porous border regions of Chad or Niger, but those places aren't exactly hospitable to even people like Gaddafi.

[QUOTE="sherman-tank1"]I highly doubt he is stupid enough to stay in Sirte. Sabha perhaps, but I'm thinking he is already out of the country.

Like I said last time, Tunisia will not likely take him, unless the government there is oblivious to him taking refuge there. Same thing with Algeria (the Libyan embassy has just defected to the rebels). And even if the man is elusive, it is highly unlikely his sons will follow him easily (too many people leaving too much of a trail). I think killing or capturing a number of his sons will be enough of a blow for him to get the picture (he is said to care deeply for his family, regardless of his firebrand image).

Can some one fill me in on what the rebels plans are, why they are doing this, and why is Gaddafi being targeted and on the run?

Isn't it obvious? Gaddafi has had absolute power ruling Libya for just under 42 years, and the rebels want him out. They have now taken most of the capital, and he as a result is on the run.

Even half-hearted attempts at developing political institutions are better than none at all. No one man should have as much power for as long as Gaddafi did.

If he goes to Venezuela, that is much too far away to have any influence on the situation and he might as well concede defeat if he did. And at least two of his sons (Saif al Islam and Khamis) were in Tripoli as of two days ago, so I doubt they could have gotten that far quickly, unless they are taking the southern route of Tripoli through Bani Walid (or the supposedly secret tunnel network).
