This tactic, I believe, will fail. The army will decide this outcome, if it’s to be by force alone, not the Air Force.

Don’t believe all you hear from a guy admitting to be a political activist describing what is going on, especially when he uses the words “indiscriminate bombing” in a city.

I will wait to see proof first.

There are also reports of Libyan naval vessels firing at targets on the shore.

They’re geo-synchronized. They may not be present over Libya. And if they are, we may not want to admit it.

Not to fear world global freedom loving comrades, just call in the UN Human Rights Commission

Guess they can investigate themselves

Blowing the $hit out of things from an aeriel mounted platform is fun as all get out, as long as you do not take a hit and land alive.
