Feb 20, 2011: Saif Gaddafi's speech
On February 20th, 2011 at 18:00 EST, he made an extemporaneous speech (full text) on Libyan state TV. In it, he blamed the unrest in Libya on tribal factions and Islamists acting on their own agendas, drunken and drugged. He promised reforms, and said the alternative would be civil war causing no trade, no oil money, and the country taken over by foreigners. He closed by saying, "We will not let Al Jazeera, Al Arabiya and BBC trick us." [Wikipedia]
