TRIPOLI, Feb. 24 (Xinhua) -- Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi warned Libyans that protests will lead to chaos in the country, in a phone-in to state TV Thursday, according to Dubai-based Al- Alabiya TV.

"If you want to live in this chaos, it's up to you," he told Libyans, adding that he felt sorry for those who got killed in the clashes.

He called on protesters to lay down their weapons, accusing some of the protesters of acting under the impact of drugs.

He said that the United States and the West must have a hand in the country's unrest.

2. Hey, maybe Rush was doing a remote phone-in show from Tripoli and Muammar had to phone in.

Doesn't sound like Muammar has settled yet on a meme to peddle; going back and forth between blaming Al Queda and the US (unless he thinks we have teamed up with AQ to go after him). :)
