Sounds like there pissed.

If I was in there position I wouldn't mind watching the man die in front of me.

As far as the implications of rejecting his offer, it is hard to say.

It might prolong the violence, but on the other hand Gaddafi is clearly having doubts at this point. Perhaps their rejection will cause him to flee.

It almost sounds like the Rebels want his head.

Because it's too late to step down peacefully now! From the Libyans standpoint (my opinion), they have had thousands of their friends, family, and neighbors killed simply chanting that Gaddafi should leave office. Now, after all of these deaths, why should he be allowed to bow out gracefully, seek asylum and protection, to live out the rest of his life? Further, do you really think they all want to be left with his loyal military still in Libya? Where are they all going to go?

I think they are holding Gaddafi to his own words: That he will die on Libyan soil.

I think the answer is a simple one.

They want JUSTICE, like everyone else.

having him walk off with their cash, and not facing the music for the treatment and supression of his people, is not an option.
