Loose Lips... !

BBC has the best coverage of this now. Evidently Moammar may be en route to Argentina.

don’t we have spy satellites for this purpose?

They're being used to find the best snow cover for Michelle and the kids.

If that were possible, we wouldn’t have boots on the ground in Afghanistan.

“They’re geo-synchronized”

“They’re geo-synchronized.”

Uh, not all of them, they aren’t. Google “Molniya Orbit”.

Let’s help them ‘all’ reload. If we can just get those clerics arguing over Ali or Mohamhead. The Shi-ite will hit the fan and perhaps fewer moslems will grow up older and wiser.

I’ve been preoccupied with family stuff for the lasdt week so forgive me if I’m asking a dumb question but has anyone from the White House resident’s staff told Qadaffi to leave immediately yet?

It's been reported (but denied) that he fled to Venezuela.

Colonel Gaddafi 'flees' to Venezuela as cities fall to protesters

Any video of these airstrikes? I can’t believe it. It’s like a combination of Roshashanah and Christmas all rolled into one. Yippie!

Just checked the great-circle route between Tripoli and Caracas, and it covers lots of international airspace over open ocean in the Mid-Atlantic. Now if we had a carrier nearby, maybe a diversion could be arranged and Qadaffy could take up residence in Noriega’s old cell for awhile.

BBC

2141: Al-Arabiya is reporting that Col Gaddafi is to make an “imminent” speech, according to Reuters. No more details as yet.

Just to make sure that I understand you...obama broke his neck to get to a microphone to tell our ally Mubarek ( he may have been a s.o.b. but he was OUR s.o.b. as they say)to step down IMMEDIATELY but he can’t seem to find his voice as one of the most brutal and criminally evil dictators in the region is bombing his own citizens? You mean that obama can’t even say pretty please...stop using helicopter gun ships to kill civilians? Is that what you’re saying?

I’m saying the US has invested a lot of money in the region and doesn’t want to make any hasty decisions, collateral damage not withstanding...

In other news, US oil reserves untapped or further explored continue that way.
