Ah...
Meant to post this! Sorry....
Apparently even Libya has had enough of the toothless and impotent NATO offense and is hoping for some sort of escalation. Reuters reports: “Libya said on Tuesday its forces had hit a NATO warship while it was shelling areas in the western parts of the rebel-held Libyan city of Misrata. Libyan state television said “our forces fired (at warships) and hit one directly and severely”. It gave no further details. It was not immediately possible to verify the report.” It remains to be seen if Nicholas “the people’s liberator” Sarkozy, busy celebrating the recent developments in New York, will take time from his presidential campaign to urge the “marines in the water” to become “boots on the ground.”
Nice, I hope Daffy sinks the euro imperialists, I am serious.
Now that I think about it:
1) Why would a NATO warship be close enough to get hit by Gha-daffy’s forces?
2) Does NATO command have the guts to actually shell an urban area, especially if that means getting spotters in nice and close?
3) “We hit the evil crusader ship shelling your fellow civilians” sounds like a good propaganda deal for Gha-daffy et al.
