NATO has said it would end its seven-month-long bombing campaign once it is clear pro-Gadhafi remnants no longer present a significant threat. But for the time being it is keeping up airstrikes, mainly against targets in the coastal city of Sirte and the desert enclave of Bani Walid, where pro-Gadhafi forces remain in control.

The alliance has been criticized for allegedly misusing a U.N. resolution in March authorizing the use of force to protect civilians in Libya to justify months of airstrikes aimed at overthrowing Gadhafi's regime. NATO warplanes have flown about 9,500 strike sorties during that period.

Amazing, given all that popular will for Qaddafi’s overthrow.

NATO will only keep killing people for as long as it takes to save them.

Now the Muzzies have Libya...hook, line andf sinker. Ghadaffi had them under his thumb.

IMO Nato will wake up one day and say: What have we done?

[diogenes ghost]

Obviously NATO's 'leaders' do not understand tribalism.

The only cure for it is a hardline dictator, like it or not.

Not suprising that they are fighing to the bitter end.
They have no doubt what fate awaits them if captured alive,
similar to SS in the ruins of Berlin.

Well, the country that did most to push this fiasco was France. And the country that will suffer most as a result is France.

Considering the U.S. government was giving money to Gaddafi up until the they invaded him...

Sure it makes sense to keep fighting. They are resisting, in part, a Western aggressor and they will be killed, often after torture or imprisoned and tortured if they give up. So the default position is to take as many of the enemy with you as you can.

Well, duh!
