It doesn’t really matter, the Jihadists will subvert these revolutions. All these countries will swing radical islamist with a lot of blood being spilled in the process.

8:16pm: Al Jazeera speaks to Libyan ambassador to Bangladesh, who does confirm his resignation.

8:13pm: Contrary to earlier reports, the Libyan ambassador to the UK has not resigned. Al Jazeera spoke to him - he confirmed he is still in charge as he “has work to do”. He has, however, been summoned to the British Foreign Office.

“Nasr Anaizi tweets: “Civilians marching from #Mesrata toward #Tripoli are being fired upon from Apache helicopters. Real massacres are taking place in #Libya”

Not really, at least they’re not being massacred by Apache’s, Hind’s maybe, but not Apache’s.

8:30pm: Al Jazeera obtains this recording of a phone call from a woman in Tripoli.

“Whoever is in the streets, they are getting killed.”

She tells us there are five or six fires raging around the city, gunfire was heard during the call to prayer. Her cousin, a doctor, was turned back on his way to the hospital - because doctors are being shot.

“People are grabbing anything they can from their houses.”

Libya's Deputy Ambassador from the UN is on Al Jazeera saying that Quadaffi is committing genocide and that the chief ambassador is missing.

Says he's out of touch with the government, but he represents the Libyan people in absence of his government, which is shooting people in the streets.

Calls for Quadaffi to step down, or be kicked out by the people.

THE WHITEBOARD
A PRESIDENT’S PRESIDENTS DAY: The White House will be taking the day off along with the rest of the government as President Obama enjoys a quiet Presidents Day on Monday. Press secretary Jay Carney has no plans to brief reporters, either.

UNREAL really! They live in another reality than ours.
