"A former Tory MP has embarrassed David Cameron by going on a bizarre mission to Libya - and claiming Colonel Gaddafi has too much support to be overthrown. John Corrie flew to Tripoli at the invitation of the murdering tyrant just a week after Cameron's government recognised Libya's rebels as the country's rulers. He returned from talks with top regime officials to proclaim that NATO's bombing campaign was a mistake and the country's rebels would never succeed. And he slammed Cameron for handing the Libyan Embassy in London to the opposition. The 76-year-old chief of Clan Corrie said: "We have totally overestimated the rebels' strength. We have totally underestimated Gaddafi's strength and the number of people supporting him. "I can't see him moving and I can't see the rebels having the strength." Labour shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander said Corrie's outburst was "offensive". And the ex-MP was slapped down by the Foreign Office"
