a Constant shelling of Zawya Libya, this is pure genocide - the tanks aren't aiming, just firing”.... @bbcworld @Andersoncooper
via Twitter for iPhone 4libya:
Apartment buildings are blown to bits in Zawya as Gaddafi continues his shelling campaign.
Gaddafi forces are literally burning the city of Zawya - I expect the death toll to be shocking
RT @bintlibya:
Please @Amnesty @UN #world the city of Zawya is being massacred..the tanks are shooting at everything using mortar shells.

No fly zone (will require air to ground attacks on Libyan military units/facilities) = war with Libya.
Bombing Libyan airports by NATO (per Kerry) = war with Libya.
American policy in recent years = go to UN to get approval. Russian and China will say no.
And one has to consider how the Administration and DOD consider the effectiveness of Libya regarding their part in the ongoing WOT. Gadhafi's points on that particular issue may be valid. Of course at this point it might be a mute point.
I wish Kerry and McCain would keep their big mouths shut.
If we go to war with Libya then it is just that. To not believe the US would eventually have to send in US troops, for instance Special Operations (SOP) units, is rather naive. I can appreciate where the Administration and DOD are going slow on this one.
