They claim Mo is dead.
Not surprisingly...it’s relatively easy to recruit people who are unemployed...I think some despots keep there people in poverty in order to not only retain their power.. but as well use and or loan out their people in time of war or uprisings.

On Our Present Irresponsible Leadership:
Don’t blame me... I voted with the majority!
Bush is not the son who’s gonna tote the gun.
Guided missiles & misguided men.
They may have elected him president; but who made him emperor?
My parents went to the polls, & all I got was this crummy Orwellian nightmare.
Free speech; not double speak.
Iraq is not the enemy. The enemy lies within.
You’ve stopped the economy; now stop the war.
Undo the coup.
Jail to the thief.
Regime change starts at home.
Democracy & oligarchy don’t mix.
The smoking gun is in the White House.
Preemptive strikes are un-American.
The empty warheads are in the White House.
Preemptive impeachment.
Not in our name!
Restorate Democracy.
Define terrorism.
Our media & government are corporate puppets.
What part of “Thou shall not kill” didn’t you understand?
Corporate crime unit.
How to create 1,000 terrorists? Bomb Iraq.
America, wake up and smell the catastrophe.
We are making enemies faster than we can kill them.
Khadaffy seems not to have done the ceasefire at all.
Thnaks very much for posting. Very interesting.
Confirmed, the first French ground attack air strike was at 1645 GMT.
All it is showing is an English language movie with arabic subtitles
You are correct, how many of the same Libyans that are now the “heroic rebels” were also cheering a few months ago when the Lockerbie planner was released?
It’s almost like being there.
That would refer to the death of Muhammad Nabbous a rebel journalist that was killed in the fighting a few hours ago.
Anyone watching another source?
Yes, they are showing lots of various clips of all sorts. Lots of real time video also, the chat is the most interesting real time feed of the fighting.

OK,....CNN has reporting from Tripoli...
Fanatics killing other fanatics. Who cares what spin they put on it.
Unconfirmed that Tomahawks to launch soon. The Libyan target was a tank that was destroyed. Looks like the plane destroyed was flown by a rebel and accidentally shot down by a rebel shoulder fired SAM.
I for one just don’t care. Exactly what is it we are trying to accomplish here?
I don’t want to hear the mantra that we are trying to bring Democracy to the Middle East. They don’t know what it and would not know what to do if they had it.
Waste of money and resources let the old Dictator stay in power, all they will do is trade one for another.
The Middle East has been the biggest source of conflict and warfare in the world since WW2 and the biggest source of the oil we need to prosper on.
Every ME dictator that is eliminated allows the possibility of a new pluralistic government that will squabble itself into inaction militarily. All the while, the oil keeps pumping.
Petro dollars and greed get spread out to the many instead of the few and that wealth will be protected by the great and powerful Status Quo. Iraq was the example for Iran was the example for Tunisia was the example for Egypt was the example for Yemen was the example for Bahrain......
See the trend? Inclusion of the populace in government, that is the tactic, stability of oil supplies to Europe and N America and the Far East is the goal.
Wean ourselves off of foreign oil and I will join you in not caring about the Middle East.
