Foreign affairs correspondent for the British Sunday Times, Marie Colvin has interviewed Col. Gadhafi many times. She says his self-indulgent ramblings are nothing new. He’s terribly self indulgent, she says, and he kills anyone who speaks out against him. “I think he is feeling trapped, I think he is feeling pressure but he is rutheless. I suspect he still thinks he can survive,” she says. Gadhafi has been grooming his sons to take over, but if he goes down, his sons will likely go down as well. Additionally, there isn’t much of an opposition movement in Libya, as Col. Gadhafi kills anyone who opposes him.
