Britain and the United States are prepared to consider a swift exit of Colonel Gaddafi into exile, it emerged tonight.
Coalition nations gather in London tomorrow to plot a future for Libya without him. The official position of Britain and the US is for the dictator to stand trial at the International Criminal Court, but both are ready to accept that a deal under which he leaves the country quickly may be in Libya’s best interests.
Such a move has some European support, including from Italy, and could be facilitated by the African Union.
Let him move to Lockerbie Scotland….

If Gadhaffi leaves, that begins the ‘collapsed government’ scenario and the subsequent scramble for power. It also allows the Coalition to ‘declare victory and get out.’ At which point, the powers that be will politely avert their collective eyes.

They might want to actually defeat Gadhaffi before they start working out their scenarios for his departure.
