(Reuters) - Libya's government has begun distributing arms to more than one million people and will complete the operation within hours, the state news agency reported on Sunday.
Jana news agency quoted sources in Libya's defense ministry as saying they "expected the operation to end in the next hours to arm more than a million men and women."
He also promised retribution against Libyans who sided with the foreign intervention.
"We will fight and we will target any traitor who is co-operating with the Americans or with the Christian Crusade," he said.
Gaddafi mentioned the wars in Vietnam and Iraq, as well as the bloody US intervention in Somalia and the ongoing campaign to capture or kill al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
All, he said, were examples of the kind of defeat the US was about to endure in Libya.
"You don't learn," he said. "You''re always going to be destroyed."

Is Gadaffi expecting an invasion the likes of Iraq? He wouldn't be giving weapons to people that he sees as against him. If the Libyan population is against Gadaffi, then why is he arming them? The total population is 6 million, so he's providing arms to 17% of the population?
I have a feeling this isn't going to end nicely...
