TRIPOLI, Libya – NATO military commanders conceded Tuesday they are unable to stop Moammar Gadhafi's shelling of the rebel-held city of Misrata, where hospitals are overwhelmed with casualties, while Britain said it will dispatch senior military officers to advise the opposition.
Misrata, Libya's third-largest city, has been under siege for nearly two months, with rebels holding on to seaside positions in the port area. In recent days, Libyan troops have pounded the city with shells and rockets.

It’s all over but the slinking away.
What a horribly sad joke...
Commander Obama is an idiot.
hooray for War by Committee
And those boots on the ground Obama said would never be there, were announced today, as “Advisors”.
We live in the world of Orwell now, and I just cannot fathom why our supposedly unbiased media isn’t calling Obama out on this.
Kaddafi had nearly won the war. It would have been over weeks ago, if not for these jerks.
And with far fewer casualties.
And they already had oil deals with Kaddafi. Do they really think the Muslim Brotherhood will give them better deals?
I understand why Obama is in this—he loves Muslim terrorists. But I can’t imagine what Sarkozy and Cameron are smoking.
Psst .....NATO is impotent. Sad to say, but true.
Have they tried surrender?
What - counter-battery fire doesn’t work anymore?
Well, fathom it. The news media's only purpose is to promote the goals of big government socialism. All else is dressing to help sell their product to the masses.
What I don't understand is how they have been so successful keeping alternative worldviews out of their newsrooms.
Time to scrap NATO. It has long lived past it’s usefulness.................
Then Obama recklessly thrust the US into an illegal war while sucking in allies France and Britain, started a massacre, created a civil war, stuck NATO in a hopeless situation and made it look weak and ineffective and slimes off to play golf.
Is that true? I haven't seen much news today...
Lyndon Baines Obama is on the frigging march...
“What I don’t understand is how they have been so successful keeping alternative worldviews out of their newsrooms.”
Not really that hard when you understand that:
1)Most big media types are themselves Unionized.
2) Most big-media newsrooms are over-run by radical gays. At some local outlets, you cannot even get hired if you AREN’T gay.
One article here a couple of years ago noted that 58% of the staffers at NBC-News New York were gay, lesbian, bi, or transgendered.
The US population is TWO percent.
You think those views are over-represented in today’s media?
How in the hell does one have air superiority over the battlespace, and not have the ability to destroy artillery??
Buffs.
