Qaddafi himself was in the house

Snipped from http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/world/7545075.html

Gahdafi and his wife were in the Tripoli house of his 29-year-old son, Saif al-Arab Gadhafi, when it was hit by at least one missile fired by a NATO warplane, according to Livbyan spokesman Moussa Ibrahim.

Why? NATO is solid performer in terrorist activities. As a military fighting power NATO is scam. It was designed to confront the Soviets. yet under recently declassified info NATO expected that Soviets roll over Western Europe and reach Atlantic in 9 days!. Protection racket was a pure scam from the get go. Murdering civilians is the only thing NATO can do with success. Targeting specific target such as Gaddafi is out of the scope of NATO competence.

Even ganging up on hundred times less powerful adversary is no guarantee of NATO success.

During Kosovo war, NATO was not able to shoot Serbian Mig-29 whose pilot escaped 3 AMRAAMs,even being outnumbered 100:1 in the air and NATO having airborne AWACs while Serbia's air defence had no active radars.

After 78 days NATO destroyed 14 Serbian tanks in 31,000 sorties! Compare this number to 2000 murdered and over 6000 maimed civilians and you will get the field of NATO expertise - terrorism, not waging war.

Imagine what will wait when NATO sends ground troops. Mogadishu on a third power.
