As violence escalates between opposition forces and loyalists in Libya, Moammar Gadhafi seems to be in denial. In interviews, he has made puzzling statements, such as "all of my people love me, they would die to protect me." He has also threatened the United States and other world leaders, saying that if they invade his country, then they would be greeted with a "bath of blood."
On Monday, his son Saif told loyal security forces to stay strong, as support and weapons were on the way. This report was published on CNN, although they said that the source was an unconfirmed Youtube video.
Also, earlier in the week, the Libyan ambassador to the United States has said that Gadhaffi has "separated from reality." The ambassador says that he estimates that 2,000 had died by Monday since the violence broke out two weeks ago. Other estimates put this death toll as high as 6,000.
