TRIPOLI, Libya -- Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi escaped a NATO missile strike in Tripoli that killed one of his sons and three young grandchildren, a government spokesman said early Sunday. Hours later, Qaddafi's forces shelled a besieged rebel port in a sign that the airstrike had not forced a change in regime tactics.
Though the deaths could not be independently verified, NATO's attack on a Qaddafi family compound in a residential area of Tripoli late Saturday signaled escalating pressure on the Libyan leader who has tried to crush an armed rebellion that erupted in mid-February.

Even if they get him. Then what?
They guy is one lucky sob to escape twice in a lifetime like that.
I still don’t understand why we/nato is involved with this.
I await the hue and cry from the left...waiting...waiting...waiting...
Oh well, I guess the anti-war crowd are busy with their various May Day celebrations.
More murders in another illegal war...courtesy the USA and NATO.
NATO by the way was set up to DEFEND member states, not ATTACK sovereign non-member states at will.
Can anyone justify the unwarranted attack of Libya by NATO and the USA?
I am sure the anti-war marchers will be out in force screaming about the innocent children being murdered..
Oh wait that only happens when a republican is in charge..
Why are they targeting the grandkids? If they want to kill him fine, but should they not be cautious?
Then Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood get to take over and use the US supplied arms against us.
“They guy is one lucky sob to escape twice in a lifetime like that.”
If he’s even remotely human, he’d rather have died. And now, he won’t quit. The word is “rage.” This strike has made a dangerous man WAY more dangerous. He won’t care how many lives it costs, he’ll want vengence.
Obamas legions.
Was it this guy? ( Saif Al-Islam)
Or, was it this guy? (Saif Al-Arab)
It should be OBVIOUS to even the casual observer that Obama really is using the US Military to attempt to replace a regime that has caused no problems for the US in decades with radical Muslims.
In Egypt, it was the Muslim Brotherhood. In Libya, it's Al Qaeda.
Did you ever wonder if Obama is a closet Muslim? A thinking person might, just might look at this as confirmation that Obama really is a Muslim Plant who is doing everything he can to hurt America.
Works both ways, bastards.
If Americans still had their heads screwed on the right way they would see that carrying out or condoning this type of action is beneath us and a gross violation of our ideals, heritage and the constitution.
By the time Obama is removed from the white house he will have created such a mess in the mid-east and among muslims that it will plague the US and the rest of the civilized world for 1,000 years and more.
It will be nothing short of a miricle if Obama’s ridiculously named “Arab Spring” doesn’t lead to another world wide war or a nuclear holocaust.
In Egypt, it was the Muslim Brotherhood. In Libya, it's Al Qaeda.

It should be OBVIOUS that Obama IS a closet Muslim. We are now working against all the countries that supplied strategic terrorist intelligence to us while giving feeble excuses for our "former" enemies i. e. Syria, Iran.
"No person employed by or acting on behalf of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassination."
When was that repealed?
Uhm, I wouldn’t blame this one on the US which supposedly is NATO. WHy in the hell would F Bomb Qaddafi have his kids or grandsons anywhere near his “compound”. Riddle me this please.
exactly! and why is Congress sitting on their thumbs. bamba intends to put boots on the ground =- hence pushing out Gates - who refused too - and putting in his lap dog, Panetta.<[p>If he gets our troops in there - even congress won't pull out.
We need to crash their computers with demand to get out NOW!
Not only to save our soldiers from dying in an illegal, unnecessary war - but this will be the straw that breaks our back. (Which is, it would seem, just one more deliberate headlong rush to destroy our country - which he hates with a devout passion.)
>and that doesn't even mention his crusade to establish the new Caliphate - wouldn't Tripoli be the icing on THAT cake = as he clears the great swath of land along the Mediterranean - Eygpt and Libya - for the Muslim Brotherhood.
We stop him NOW - or get Canadian passports.
and THAT is the plan - restore the Caliphate!
