Gaddafi: NATO trying to occupy Libya
None
Libya's Moammar Gaddafi is charging that the NATO alliance is trying to occupy his country and steal its oil. In a late-night audio address carried on a Syrian TV station, Gaddafi warned that his supporters will fight on, calling for a long battle of insurgency.
"We will fight them everywhere," he said. "We will burn the ground under their feet," Gaddafi said in his second audio address of Thursday. "Get ready to fight the occupation," he said, speaking in measured tones that contrasted with his stridency earlier in the day. "The occupation will not be able to fight the war for a long time."
