Snipers shot protesters, artillery and helicopter gunships were used against crowds of demonstrators, and thugs armed with hammers and swords attacked families in their homes as the Libyan regime sought to crush the uprising. "Dozens were killed ... We are in the midst of a massacre here," a witness told Reuters. The man said he helped take victims to hospital in Benghazi. Libyan Muslim leaders told security forces to stop killing civilians, responding to a spiralling death toll from unrest which threatens veteran leader Muammar Gaddafi's authority.

Interesting how only Egypt seemed worthy of all day and night news coverage of their protests, but the others get just a token mention.
So for MSM Iran is trouble free today? Why pick on Lybia. He is not White House friendly?
Not interesting, more like sad.
Those dictators who are sending in troops to kill protesters
don’t fit the narrative.
The cohorts of this administration in the media know that Obama looks weak and will never call them out.
This would never have happened with Bush in office and they know it and right now, the boy king does compare favorably to Bush.
Unlike Mubarak, it will take a real military or an internal assassination to remove him.
And with each incident he puts down, his forces grow stronger and his opponents are humiliated.
It is a Tiannamen Square moment, and he refused to blink.
I wonder if any of these snipers are from his elite all female body gaurd.
sniper..wearing a burqa? I don’t think so..
And people expected what from him?
Both he and the Islamic mullahs know exactly how to stop this stuff.
Kill people in big huge bloody bunches...
I keep looking for the Live News casts of the protest in Libya and Iran.
The media has Middle East fatigue.
You won’t find them...reporters have been put on notice....too dangerous for them. Oh...and the Daytona 500 is on, and oh the NBA All Star Game is going on, and oh the protests in Wisconsin are going on, and oh yeah it is snowing in the U.S.A. again, and oh yeah...ummm...Piers Morgan had a 2 part special with the Kardashians.
Back to business as usual.
>And with each incident he puts down, his forces grow stronger and his opponents are humiliated.<
.
Gadafi is setting an example to other autocrats as to how a real dictator ought to act. The possibility exists that his action will be followed by other rulers when they see how easy it is to put down a revolution. All you need to do is be willing to spill blood, and lots of it.
Mubarak is probably muttering: ‘aw shit, I could’ve done that.’
So, has Obama called Muammar Gaddafi and tell him to stop killing people? 140 dead so far from his minions. No of course not. Muammar is one of his buddies just like Chevez and the clown in Iran.
The last photo of Gaddafi. Is that a group ID card to save money on ID cards? Just point to the one who you are.
That’s because Egypt was pro Israel. MSM wanted it to fall into the hands of extremists. Libya is already in the hands of an extremist.
Pictures in #10

Now THAT is a ‘true dictatorship’.
Notice his Military Guards...HE is the only one that has any ribbons or medals.........
When you can’t ‘trust’ the men around you, surround yourself with some good looking women and arm them...keeps the other side distracted.
Although in picture #2 looks like the ‘dolly’ in brown is reaching for her waist piece...and the one in Blue looks like she is ‘adjusting her package’.
Then again they may be his eunuchs. “Get ‘em early enough and the hormones change” (so they say).
What will happen to hid “guards” if the islam-a-nazies take over?
It’s as if the MSM will only focus on demonstrations against a leader which was supported by the U.S.
Protests and the ensuing slaughter are not of much interest unless they happen in a western-friendly country. I don’t get it.
That is one ugly man.
