You Thought I Was Joking About Dictator Retirement Island

Via the Guardian

Efforts appear to be under way to offer Muammar Gaddafi a way of escape from Libya, with Italy saying it was trying to organise an African haven for him, and the US signalling it would not try to stop the dictator from fleeing....

A senior American official signalled that a solution in which Gaddafi flees to a country beyond the reach of the international criminal court (ICC), which is investigating war crimes charges against him, would be acceptable to Washington, pointing out that Barack Obama had repeatedly called on Gaddafi to leave.

    I'd nominate San Francisco. And the colonel's political leanings would also fit dovetail nicely with his newly adopted homeland's.

    Hope it will end up the war there because human casualties are increasing in number.
