According to Clinton, there are unconfirmed reports that at least one of Gaddafi’s sons has been killed.

She says that Gaddafi’s behavior is unpredictable. “Some of it is theater. Some of it is, you know, kind of, shall we say game playing, to try to do one message to one group, another message to somebody else.”

Clinton also spoke about Gaddafi’s role in the future of Libya. “Now obviously, if we want to see a stable, peaceful, hopefully someday democratic Libya, it is highly unlikely that can be accomplished if he stays in power as he is.

So even though Qaddafi’s son being killed would be a dramatic development, it ultimately doesn’t matter as long as his dad is still holding on to power in the country. And he seems increasingly determined to do so.
