It's all over for Gaddafi now

Gaddafi is as good as gone. All his efforts have finally come to nothing because, as the BBC reported excitedly on their website:

William Hague says Gaddafi 'must go'

Gaddafi has been battling to cling on to power since widespread popular protests broke out across Libya in the last ten days. He has been busy in recent days persuading his generals and tribal leaders to stay on side. But, despite his best efforts, the final curtain is coming down thanks to the intervention of world statesman William Hague.

The Libyan leader believed that violent suppression of his own people and the pledges of support from key players within the Libyan military were enough for him to cling on to power. But in the face of Hague's intervention, his time as president appears to be drawing to a close and Gaddafi now faces going into exile. A source close to Gaddafi's inner circle claimed that he 'wept like a girl' upon reading the headline on the BBC website.

The downfall of Gaddafi is yet another victory for the standing of William Hague. Veteran diplomat Henry Kissinger described Hague as a 'colossus' and 'a giant on the world stage who clearly means business'. Jacques Chirac described Hague as a 'churchillian figure' whilst Bill Clinton added that 'Hague scares the crap out of me'. William Hague has credited his political hero, Margaret Thatcher, for making him the man he is today. "Without Margaret at my side in those early years," Hague confessed, "I would have been a pathetic nobody."
