The dictator, who insisted on making his claims in sometimes faltering English, strongly denied his regime was falling, saying: “No demonstrations at all in the streets. No one is against us. Against me for what? Because I am not president. They love me, all my people with me. They love me all. They will die to protect me, my people.”
Asked if he could conceive of using chemical weapons, he said: “We got rid of all that. This is a thing of the past and we have already finished this.
“Is it reasonable that any sensible man would use such a weapon against even his own enemy, let alone his own people?”
He also accused the US of failing to protect his country against “terrorists”, adding: “It is betrayal, they have no morals. I’m surprised that we have an alliance with the West to fight al-Qaeda, and now that we are fighting terrorists they have abandoned us.
