Coud you help me?
I can't understand exactly what the bold sentence(the second one) says.
Would you paraphrasing it with other words to let me understand it?
Thank you.===
(This story is about "Muammar -Qaddafi")
Colonel Qaddafi has remained defiant. In an interview on Monday with ABC News, he said he was fighting against “terrorists,” and he accused the West of seeking to “occupy Libya.” He gave no hint of surrender. “My people love me,” he said. “They would die for me.”
Those unyielding words, and the colonel’s military attacks were met with both nerves and defiance by rebel military leaders as the two sides seemed to steel themselves for a long battle along shifting and ever more violent front lines.
