BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) -- The U.S. and European nations pounded Moammar Gadhafi's forces and air defenses with cruise missiles and airstrikes Saturday, launching the broadest international military effort since the Iraq war in support of an uprising that had seemed on the verge of defeat. Libyan state TV claimed 48 people had been killed in the attacks, but the report could not be independently verified.

The longtime Libyan leader vowed to defend his country from what he called "crusader aggression" and warned the involvement of international forces will subject the Mediterranean and North African region to danger and put civilians at risk.

I am sure all of them were children, and they probably hit a baby formula factory too!

112 Tomahawks. Each costing over $500,000.

Oh, and of course...

Libyan TV quoted the armed forces command as saying 48 people were killed and 150 wounded in the allied assault. It said most of the casualties were children but gave no more details.

We already know from Lybian insiders, that he is moving human shields to likely targets, including cadavers collected from all over Lybia to place at the likely targets to trot out his "innocent civilian casualties..."

From the Muslim Mass Murderers Saddam Hussein School of despot propaganda...

That isn't gonna work, any more you wannabe Moorish feared pirate. We cleaned your clock in 1801-1804 and that should have taught you a permanent lesson.

The "Crusaders" now are not only the American Marines but also an army and air force and more wup ass than you can imagine.

And some friends are actually helping, this time.
You had your chance to retire to France like the Ayatollahs...

That won't work any more.
I suggest Iran, Venezuela or Cuba. Keep your bombproof dress and funny hat handy though...

Did the human shields that went in to protect Gadhafi’s Libya get out before the missiles were launched, or were
they the ones that were killed in the bombing?
