“He also said that reports that Gaddafi had been using cluster bombs during the siege of Misurata had further weakened the Libyan leader’s position.”
This Misurata cluster bomb has the smell of BS all over it. Of course, the partisan media shills won’t seize on its falsity after Americans have died in ground combat in Libya — because that’s what partisan media shills are all about.
ALSO — this is proof positive that NATO doesn’t have the political will to put boots on the ground, and as long as Gaddafy’s no-doubt-enormous ammo stores hold out, there won’t be any stalemate. The jihadists make advance, using up their own weapons and ammo; the Libyan army gives ground, then after a short interval it launches a counterattack, slaughters the jihadists, who flee back to Benghazi.
This is not a statemate, it’s an out-wait operation.
Gaddafy only has to survive to win.
200 million dollar plus in missiles if anything large enough to fire a cluster warhead is operatable, somebody in charge of targeting needs be put on KP duty until they retire. Not only is it fake as hell, but that one goes up beside the milk factory sign.
