People close to Libya's embattled leader Moammar Gadhafi are reaching out to allies around the world exploring their "options," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told ABC News' Diane Sawyer today, and the U.S. government has gotten unconfirmed reports that at least one of Gadhafi's sons has been killed.

"We've heard about other people close to him reaching out to people that they know around the world -- Africa, the Middle East, Europe, North America, beyond -- saying what do we do? How do we get out of this? What happens next?" Clinton said in an exclusive interview. "I'm not aware that he personally has reached out, but I do know that people allegedly on his behalf have been reaching out."

1. anyone who thinks this guy can "bunker down for a long war"

cant be serious.
media has been pounding the meme home though.

[tabatha]

2. He has seen the writing on the wall.

And he knows that he could be in for some serious crimes against humanity.

8. The UN Prison in the Hague is Nicer than What His Own People Would Do to Him

6. No longer than Saddam Hussein? Or longer?

Maybe Obama can smoke him out in no time.

3. True, or wishful thinking, or narrative-setting - who knows?

The US government propaganda specialists are working overtime - that's for sure. As well they should. Any government waging war has to wage propaganda war as well.

The US has resisted calls for multilateral ceasefire in Libya, with UN observers on the ground. It is clear that the policy is US-enforced "regime change." What's there to negotiate?

4. Shall we start pool? I say it's over by this weekend....n/t

9. I think it will end by March 31st - sometime within 9 days. n/t

10. Two weeks ago I had an intuitive flash of Gadhafi in handcuffs

I'm inclined to agree with you - it will be over soon. And I suspect he will end up 'arrested' by some group - either his own people, or the international community. Or maybe a US prison like Hussein and Noriega?

15. I had that dream of Cheney in handcuffs. nm

[Matariki]

16. Yeah, I had that wish too. Sigh.

[Catherina]

17. Please. Bet me. I need the money badly. Name your sum

This isn't over by a long shot.

[Lochloosa]

18. I'll take your word for it.

[Catherina]

19. I give you my word that if I'm wrong, I'll give $100 to the charity you name

and if I'm right, please donate whatever you comfortably can to the humane society. Thanks Lochloosa.

[Lochloosa]

20. Your on. I'll match you.

5. If he knows he'll be tried and hung, what does he gain by giving up? nt

[Amonester]

11. It would be best not to hang him - just send him to The Hague

and when found guilty of perhaps thousands of crimes against Humanity, let him rot in jail forever.

[CJCRANE]

14. Not him - the people around him.

Think back to Mubarak (when he didn't voluntarily step aside, the Egyptian Army pushed him aside).

[spanone]

7. that would be good news.

[kenny blankenship]

12. He doesn't have many friends left. At one time or another he's taken a poke at most of them.

For example, not that they would be friends or anything, but Saudi Arabia believes he was behind an attempted assassination of Crown Prince Abdullah in a plot intercepted in 2004. Can't go there, like many monsters before him have done. Can't go to a close Saudi ally either probably. Poor, poor Muammar. If only you hadn't tried to kill so many people.

[DURHAM D]

13. Send him to Paris to bunk in with Noriega. nt
