SANAA, YEMEN - Libyan warplanes and helicopters fired from the air and loyalist militias fatally shot protesters in the streets as the government of Moammar Gaddafi fought back viciously Monday against demonstrations that appear to be fast eroding the autocrat's four-decade-long hold on power. In Tripoli, the capital, residents reported seeing heavily armed mercenaries hunting down demonstrators as buildings burned, looters ransacked police stations, and fighter jets and helicopter gunships rained ammunition from the skies.

MUZZY FIGHT!!!!
> helicopter gunships rained ammunition from the skies.
LOL unless they are throwing boxes of it out the windows, they are not.
idiot reporters
There’s just no way this ends politely or soon. Kadaffy the Younger is right. This isn’t Egypt or Tunisia, and it’s going to come down to hand-to-hand in the streets before its over.
Lots of people have never seen a real Civil War....they are about to.
Organizing for America overlords taking notes...
Why would the mercenaries be hunting down innocent "demonstrators", when there are arsonists and looters to be shot? Qaddafi needs to hire some better mercenaries.
Cluster bombs work better. Fuel/air bombs also work.
Napalm also works better than bullets.
And the world leader loved by all, nobama sez: (crickets). Such a leader. Anyway, he is preoccupied with the USA “civilians” who are attempting to take back their country. He is “laser focused” on Wisconsin. His community dis-organizing skills are needed there.
Colonel Gadaffi is running out of time to finally promote himself to General!
If Moamar goes, who is going to fun Raila Odinga’s next campaign in Kenya?
