Tripoli, Libya (CNN) -- Coalition airstrikes have hit several rebel vehicles in Libya and the opposition is looking into reports that some rebel fighters were killed, a spokesman for the Libyan opposition said Saturday. NATO is also investigating a report that a coalition airstrike in the eastern oil town of al-Brega hit opposition rebels, a NATO spokeswoman said Saturday. "NATO takes any reports of civilian casualties very seriously, but exact details are hard to verify as we have no reliable sources on the ground," NATO's Oana Lungescu said. "Clearly, if someone fires at one of our aircraft, of course they have the right to defend themselves." Meanwhile, forces loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi showed no signs of backing down Saturday after officials spurned an opposition cease-fire proposal. Government spokesman Musa Ibrahim told reporters in Tripoli on Friday that rebels were not "really serious" about the offer, which he said included "silly conditions." Libyan rebels attempting to organize Rebels discuss cease-fire with Gadhafi What does Koussa know? "They are asking us to withdraw from our own cities and open our cities to people, who are holding up arms, who are tribal, violent, no unified leadership, al Qaeda links, and no one knows who they are. If this is not mad, then I don't know what it is," he said. "We will not leave our cities. We will not stop protecting our civilians."

I'll never understand this war stuff.
Neither will the President.
I’m sure President Osama... er, President Obama will sit down with the Colonel for some face-to-face diplomacy and make him see the error of his ways.
MORONS
Q U A G M I R E
Why should they...we're bombing his opposition.
“...exact details are hard to verify as we have no reliable sources on the ground.”
Translation: We have absolutely no idea what we’re doing but when you haven’t bombed anyone in 3 days, you take what you can get.
To start making love to a Tar Baby is easy; to stop, almost impossible.
If you absolutely for some reason, must bomb Libya, that might not be a bad strategy, considering you have Gay-daffy on one side and Al Quaeda on the other.
The conversation will go like this:
OK Duhbummer, did you get the payoff
Yes kaka daffy now we are hitting the ones who are against you while declaring victory..
But duhbummer, we don’t know who they are how could you?
oh Kakka daffy we have our ways its is amazing what the American peoples money can do..
Both laugh the evil Mike myers laugh
Now if we can only get our Al Queda brothers in Israel as we planned..to which duhbummer replies..we got one in the white house didn’t we...more DR Evil Laughter...
A house, i.e., country cleaning seems to be in order. O orders Libya extinct for mookie’s farm.
Maybe this osamaobama guy is really clever and has found a new way to kill al quada with the blessings of our mooselimb brothers.
No matter where the bombs fall, mooselimbs die...hmmmmm, I'm gonna have to re-think this strategery, maybe we misunderestimated this messiah.
I think the whole affair was about Obama wanting to say....”See, I’m not a Muslim”.
Excellent Point...I knew they knew what they were doing.
Target rich opportunities everywhere.
Bombs Away!!!
He IS truly "The One"
