Muammar al Qaddafi accused the Western powers of betrayal, saying that the President of France, his “friend” Nicholas Sarkozy “has gone mad,” and that he suffered “from a psychological illness.”

In the same attack published by a German newspaper, Qaddafi also refers to Silvio Berlusconi, whom he accuses of betrayal.

Qaddafi brings as “evidence” of his allegations what “Sarkozy’s aides” say about him.

France was the first European country to condemn the shelling of the population in Libya by governmental forces. Furthermore, Paris went on to recognize the provisory government in Benghazi as the official representative of a transitional power in the country.

France and Britain also advocated the idea of building a no-fly zone over Libya, a proposal backed by the Arab League, which even tabled it at the United Nations.

It would seem that now France is backing away, as Alain Juppe, French Foreign Minister, said that the call for bombing Libyan regime was a little carried away in the heat of the moment.

Meanwhile, with no one supporting the freedom movement, Qaddafi is recuperating the lost territory closing in on the rebel city of Benghazi, where his authority is no longer recognized.

Qaddafi’s loyalists spoke to the people in Benghazi, saying that the regime would protect them against those who have stirred things in the country.

Qaddafi himself told the German newspaper that the “little events” are about to be over in the country and that of the 200 hundred people killed half were security forces.

He laid the blame again on the Al-Qaeda for the riots in his country and threatened to “punish” the West for its position on it, by saying that investments would be made in China, Russia and India.

In fact, he called on the leaders of these three countries to step right in and invest in the oil business.
