Gaddafi is having fun with words. He claims the anti-government rebels in Libya are linked to al-Qaeda; however, if the United States attacks Libya, Gaddafi says he will align himself with these rebels, the same who want him removed, and al-Qaeda to begin jihad.
Then he was asked if he feared his fate would be similar to Saddam Hussein's, in which he called al-Qaeda his enemy again. ‘No, our war is against al-Qaeda.’
Quite confusing isn't it?
