reports are that parts of Tripoli have fallen and 10,000's protestors and former army soldiers are marching towards the center
Let's hope it turns out better than Iran did. That the mosques are being used as staging areas for the insurgents is not a good sign, and is a reason why the US should stay completely out of this.
“The best we can hope for now is that whoever succeeds Gaddafi isn’t an islamist.”
An Islamist? Oh like the one the idiots and ALL of TV and ALL of the newsmedia elected here? That kind of Islamist?
Hopefully Khadaffi’s French speaking dark skinned African mercenaries get what they deserve. I am not singling them out do to darker skin just that he brought in outsiders to use against his own people. He is toast.
Reports coming in that Tripoli closed airspace now.
... authority along the Libyan and Tunisia boarder prepare for Gaddafi thugs and regime in fleeing toward boarders UN 5 minutes ago
If the MB is in control of Egypt and Al Qaeda is in control of Libya... There will be a war between Egypt and Libya over the type of Islamic Caliphate they want to impose. That’s how those radicals work.
Twitter feeds are claiming they now control “nearly all” of the oilfields. Not good.
@skynewsbreak:
Colonel Gaddafi addressing crowds in Green Square.
I can’t confirm this but the tweeter has been pretty spot on so far.
From another tweet. You know what is funny: I forgot that Libya sits on the UN Human Rights Council. What a damn joke the UN is. Mexico has now formally asked that they be removed.
We should bomb the Libyan TV ministry... And take out Libyan (pro Gudaffi) airpower.
This has a long way to play out as far as the oil fields go.
History in the Middle East would indicate the most likely scenario would be they trade one tyranny for a worse one.
As far as the effect of the average person on the street who didn't overtly challenge the government's authority, the authoritarian Shah was less of a burden than their current totalitarian theocracy.
ANyone know if the ferry with the US Citizens got underway?
Sorry, the US should be supporting the old man who has proven too tired to stir the region into war for years now. Support the status quo is the call. The administration has no idea (or sadly..maybe they do) what they are doing
From Twitter, news is that Gadaffy is speaking to crowd in Tripoli, saying if people don’t love him, he doesn’t deserve to live...but alternate translation is, if people don’t love him, THEY don’t deserve to live.
Not at all clear which is correct translation.
From all indications, though, this goose is cooked. 20-30k very engraged people in the streets of Tripoli.
No it’s time to face reality.
Obama is busy helping the Islamist surround Israel.
TheDaffy is now speechifying in Tripoli square according to the various twits trying to turn everyone against each other.
Other than the mercs firing on the civilians, has anyone heard of any other military action, particularly by the resistance?
I hope his French speaking African imported militia gets what they deserve.
Don’t think other Islamic tyrants will not import foreign militia to kill and control idiots who drool over Hussein TV.
But You can bet Your House and Car that Muslim Mullahs will take over! Unfortunately!
While I agree with you that Daffy is likely the lesser of two evils we likely face (Daffy vs radical Islamist), at this point being seen as helping Daffy, and then having him lose anyway, would be far worse over the long term than doing nothing.
NO! You are wrong! What set the Dominos in action was when 52 % of the Americans who are the Idiots in Our Society Voted for and Elected a Muslim Mullah and Community Destroyer as Our American President in violation of Our Beloved Constitution!
Yes, it’s been reported that they left.
