Russia has said it will not support any further sanctions from the UN against Libya. They hold veto power so this is a show of force.

NATO has expanded it's bombing runs to include the western mountain range, and has allowed the rebels there to make major gains because of it. almost the entire western side of the country is now in Rebel hands.

Rebels have said that three UN countries have smuggled weapons to them, while they refuse to name the countries arming them, they now are being far better equipped.

The rebels say that all Gaddafi forces have been pushed out of the city of Misurata, however they are coming under constant Shelling from Artillery, Mortars and Grad rockets that are now focusing on the residential areas.

WHAT?
That's it, gloves are off, Gaddafi's [REDACTED] dead. Some people just want to watch the world burn, some people throw fire and gasoline around to burn the world.

It sounded better in my head, doesn't matter, the point's still there. Play with fire, you get immolated.

no word on what, just 'weapons'

if it's NATO countries we are likely talking C7s and C8s as they are the mainstay light arms of NATO countries.

Nothing new, man. This has been going on for a while now. Also, how do you get it to say [REDACTED]? Is that some sort of special thing or do you just do that yourself?

Well, Belgium manufactured weapons are a possibility. We've already seen P90s in the hands of rebels. America is also the worlds largest exporter of military grade weapons and equipment. I would not be surprised to see M-16s and M203s in rebel hands.

he's probably trying to scare them into surrendering.

This can't end soon enough, but hopefully the rebels can make a push to gain more territory.

the C7 is the more commonly used variant of the M16(manufactured by Colt Canada rather than Colt US)that has a longer stock and is built a little sturdier with an increase in cost. and the same goes for the C8 and the M4

no idea, the Russians and Chinese did have pretty strong economic relations with Gaddafi though. That may be it.

the Syrian Government has deployed 2000 troops in Damascus to man check points armed with tanks, and heavy machine guns.

They are also conducting raids on homes across the country.

Britain, France and Italy are pushing for sanctions, but again are being met by resistance from Russia and China who say 'The UN has no place there'

China and Russia should keep there noses out of this they obviously have no interest. Chances are they are worried about more democratic nations popping up and communism weakening.

The UN has the right to be anywhere that civilians are being hurt. Obviously Russia and China don't care since they kill their own.
Oh look, someone who thinks the UN is effective in any way.

Cute.

This isnt the cold war, Syria and Libya arent communist, more dictatorships. Its hard to see a reason for them being so difficult
