This is a live feed chat room broadcasting from Benghazi. Much is in English, audio is Arabic.

Breaking, French aircraft are now conducting air strikes.
Here is probably the best media source:

I don’t believe anything coming from any of them there. The entire muslim world has shown a willingness to lie cheat and steal as a means of achieving their goals.
Look at the feed before you judge, I don’t post slop.
The Al Qaeda Morning Crew.
My gracious, the French are taking the lead...the French!!!
Do they?
Yes, often. This feed uploads cell phone videos of the fighting, nearly real time. No news orgs or msm, nothing massaged. The chat is live and eyewitness to the fighting.
They sure have a lot of american support, moving near you soon.
The French fought Qaddafi for years over Chad. Google the Aouzou Strip and Toyota War. The French were thrown out of Chad by Qaddafi but eventually pushed Qaddafi out of the occupied Aouzou Strip. The French have been spoiling for a chance to get at Qaddafi ever since.
If this report is true then it sure didn’t take long to go from “No Fly Zone” to air strikes.
Pray for our Troops!
How about we pray that our troops never enter Libyan airspace.
No kidding. I’m getting awfully tired of our troops risking their lives for people who would happily slit their throats.
It's sad that a French president is more American than our own.
I agree with you . I hope our troops stay outta it. The way Cankles is talking, it doesn’t look good.
Well known to the United States policymakers in Obama White House and Clinton State Department along with the National Security Council but not widely known to American mainstream media, the U.S. West Point Military Academy’s Combating Terrorism Center document reveals that Libya sent more fighters to Iraq’s Islamic militancy on a per-capita basis than any other Muslim country, including Saudi Arabia.
Perhaps more alarmingly for Western policymakers, most of the fighters came from eastern Libya, the center of the current uprising against Muammar el-Qaddafi.
The analysis of the Combating Terrorism Center of West Point was based on the records captured by coalition forces in October 2007 in a raid near Sinjar, along Iraq’s Syrian border.
The eastern Libyan city of Darnah sent more fighters to Iraq than any other single city or town, according to the West Point report. It noted that 52 militants came to Iraq from Darnah, a city of just 80,000 people (the second-largest source of fighters was Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which has a population of more than 4 million).
Benghazi, the capital of Libya’s provisional government declared by the anti-Qaddafi rebels, sent in 21 fighters, again a disproportionate number of the whole.

Strange times, indeed. Nice to see the French stepping up for once though...seriously, it doesn’t take a superpower to put down Qaddafi’s thugs
