Gaddafi 'paranoid and on the run' as UK engages Apache helicopters over Tripoli

A paranoid Colonel Gaddafi is hiding in a different hospital every night to dodge Nato bombs and Libyan assassins, British intelligence chiefs have reportedly told UK Prime Minister David Cameron.

Cameron last night gave the green light for four Apache attack helicopters to deploy in Libya to turn the screws on the dictator.

His decision came after he apparently received intelligence reports that Gaddafi is on the run and cracking up.

Intelligence gathered by British, American and French intelligence agencies in the past week suggests that Gaddafi has become very paranoid and is convinced senior members of his military are going to kill him.

Senior sources claimed the tyrant has abandoned his command bunkers and usual safe houses.

It is impossible to verify the information due to the difficulty of reporting from Tripoli, but a diplomatic source said: “Gaddafi appears to be moving from hospital to hospital and spending each night in a different one.

“The judgment we are making is that this means it is the right time to turn up the heat and try to make it tell.”

It is the first information about the tyrant’s whereabouts since he gave a radio broadcast on May 11.

Cameron said: “What I want to see is turning up the pressure because I believe the regime in Libya and Colonel Gaddafi are feeling the pressure.

“We will do all that we can diplomatically, politically in terms of sanctions, and militarily.

While British officials insisted that Colonel Gaddafi is not a target, the Apaches are equipped with 16 Hellfire ground attack missiles capable of taking out armoured vehicles or a fast-moving car from five miles.

Cameron discussed his plans with US President Barack Obama during his visit to London and French President Nicolas Sarkozy at the G8 summit in Deauville yesterday.

The diplomatic source added: “There’s a picture building up of this man who is very paranoid and a regime that’s increasingly feeling under pressure and beginning to fracture.

“We are also getting the sense that a lot of senior commanders have stopped using their phones ... they are clearly worried they are being listened to, and that’s having an impact on their ability to communicate.”

The mask is finally off. NATO has always wanted to replace Col. Gadaffi, not to protect "civilians." He may be a bad actor; but NATO’s perfidy is right up there with the upper echelon of lying scumbags. It's called saving Libya for big power exploitation. The Egyptian revolution is already finished. Mubarak is gone, but his government remains in place. Our western governments will see to it that all changes in the Arab Spring are cosmetic, and that they ultimately solidify our control over the region. Furthermore,where are all the pictures of the dying children? not any talk of the "collateral damage there must be alot of dying of innocents going on, with not a peep from the left. To morrow will be an other day for those that will remain at home and do not do the dirty work for others.
