Since the beginning of the uprising against him in February, Kadhafi has made only rare public appearances. In his speech décousu from before dawn, he appeared subdued and provocateur, break on several occasions that he reversed through handwritten notes.
"The door to peace is open", Kadhafi said, sitting behind a desk. "You are the aggressors." We will negotiate with you. Come, France, Italy, United Kingdom, America, come, we will negotiate with you. Why are we attacking you? ?
He said Libya had the right to choose their own political system, but not under the threat of NATO bombing.
Rebel leaders have said they will be only lay down their arms and enter into talks on the future of the Libya after Kadhafi and his son, which some hold powerful positions, in the country resign. Kadhafi has repeatedly refused to resign.

In his speech, Kadhafi deplored the airstrikes, which started in mid-March under the mandate of the United Nations to protect Libyan civilians. Strikes hit mainly of Libyan military targets, but three affected comprised residential of Gaddafi.
"Why you kill our children." Why you destroy our infrastructure, "Kadhafi said Saturday." while denying that its forces had killed Libyan civilians
A few hours earlier, however, Government forces shelled the rebel besieged city of Misrata, killing 15 people, including a 9 year old boy, said doctors at the hospital. The city of 300,000 is the stronghold of rebels in the West of the Libya and was besieged for two months.
The port is only lifeline to the Misrata. Friday, NATO foiled attempts by regime loyalists to close the only route of access to Misrata, intercepting vessels posing anti-ship mines in the waters around the port.
The regime reported Friday that he seeks to block access to Misrata by sea.
Moussa Ibrahim, the spokesman for the Government of Libya, said that he was unaware of the attempt to undermine. However, he said that the Government tried to prevent the delivery of arms to the rebels by sea. Asked if ships help would also be blocked, he said that the sending of aid must be coordinated with the authorities and should be preferably by land.
Gaddafi forces repeatedly bombarded the port area and its ground troops are deployed at the outskirts of Misrata, after having driven out of the downtown area by rebels last week.
