Libya: 'Air Strike Destroys Gaddafi Residence'

Niall Paterson, defence correspondent, and Natalie Fahy An air strike has destroyed an administrative building at Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's residence, according to reports.

The news came as the White House said it did not recognise a ceasefire called by Colonel Gaddafi, and anti-aircraft fire continued in the skies above Tripoli.

The Libyan leader ordered armed forces to down weapons from 7.00pm, via a government spokesman at a press conference, but witnesses reported strong blasts and gunfire in Tripoli throughout the evening.

A 10 Downing Street spokesman responded to the Libyan announcement, following a meeting of the National Security Council, saying: "Everyone will recall that in recent days Colonel Gaddafi declared a ceasefire which was promptly violated.

"We said then we would judge him on his actions not his words - and we will do so again."

The pro-kadafi contingent seems to be out in force today! Or it may be simply the anti-America deep-cover troll contingent.
I can't tell yet.

Ol' Daffy Gaddaffi's probably going to be a little pizzy with his "son" from here on out.

Thanks Sub-Driver.

An air strike has destroyed an administrative building at Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's residence... The news came as the White House said it did not recognise a ceasefire called by Colonel Gaddafi, and anti-aircraft fire continued in the skies above Tripoli.

Black and White
Gaddafi made his first visit to Italy, Libya’s former colonial master, in 2009. He greeted Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi with a photograph of Omar Mukhtar, a Libyan resistance fighter who was hanged by Italian forces in 1931, wearing it pinned to his chest like a medal for an extra bit of chutzpah.

So who do you prefer in power in Libya---Qaddafi or Al Qaeda?

Choose one or the other.

[Praxeologue]

Wherever he is, it’s an attempted assassination, which is trouble for Obama ... unless this was a false flag action

[Sub-Driver]

Bet’s are he’s heading south......and to be cut off

Another bet, British SAS are on his ass..........

[dfwgator]

Exactly, if Bush was doing this I would wholeheartedly support this action, because I know Bush would have the stones to stay and fight Al-Qaeda, once Kadaffy was out of the picture.

I don’t have that same trust with OBozo.

>>hey aim to do KaDaffy a grievous harm. They must remember some dealing where KaDaffy boned ‘em.<<
They probably owe him money.

[RummyChick]

assassination will come from Britain
Gaddafi may become target of air strikes, Liam Fox admits

They do owe him for Lockerbie.

[elpadre]

I can't imagine placing anything of a military nature in, or, or near a resident, automatically making it a target.

[Winstons Julia]

So ... we’re attacking his bases, but we’re not supposed to take him out?

[TheLawyerFormerlyKnownAsAl]

WooHoo! Residence destroyed. 1 down, 25 to go.

[maine yankee]

Sarkosy doesn’t want to pay back the loans he got from kadaffi to finance his last campaign.

Obama is a warmonger supported by Haliburton. \2006
