UN hasn't given authorization to kill or arrest Gaddafi yet.

The goal of the mission isn't even to eliminate Gaddafi. It's to stop Gaddafi forces from killing civilians. NATO is afraid killing Gaddafi would just turn him into a Martyr.

That's the day the Canadians are 'anticipating UN authorization'

as of today however the objective is still 'protect civilians' not 'depose Gaddafi'

they just haven't given authorization YET, though i'm starting to worry that the whole thing is a big bluff to scare the hell out of Gaddafi. Lack of further news on the matter makes me twitchy. lol

NATO has now attacked and Destroyed all Gaddafi Naval Vessels in the ports of Sirte, Al Khums, and Tripoli.

France has stated that NATO's mission has officially shifted to operations that include 'destabilizing the Gaddafi regime'

The EU has now put full economic sanctions on the Syrian Regime.

Misuratan Rebels have pushed to the edge of Zlitan and are also pushing the other direction and have reached the edge of Sirte.

The fourth missing Journalist that Gaddafi forces had said for weeks was in their custody, has been confirmed dead, having been shot by Gaddafi soldiers in the desert the day he went missing.

Rebels have secured the town of Tawergha

The cake is a pie

This might be of interest OP.

The BBC gave a live report of loyalist prisoners that the rebels were holding in an abandoned school. The prisoners made three things very clear...

. They are being treated well by the rebels. All wounded are being tended to.
.This particular battalion had been told that they would be fighting foreighners and Al Qaeda.
. When they became aware that they were fighting other Libyans, they wanted to leave, but were threatened with death.


Sorry can't find the specific report, but that's interesting. Pretty much confirms that even the loyalists want out.

*Gadaffi.


I think the Rebels will probably find him. It's a ground operation. We can't just go in with Apaches shooting at the civilian inhabited Tripoli. The ambient push of rebels will probably be the ones who get hold of him. Let's hope they keep him alive so we can put him on trial.

If that is true, and I have no doubt it is, then the regimes position is much weaker than they make it out to be and that Gaddafi's key tool for his war effort is propaganda.

On a side note: I am always hearing different spellings of Gaddafi (Gaddafi and Qaddafi being most common), and I was wondering what the correct spelling is.

was his navy even a threat? i know we sent messages to there ships saying if they deployed they would be destroyed.

i think those advances are enough proof that this is no longer a stalemate.

apparently these were the ships that were launching the small explosive filled boats and trying to lay mines.

We should tell Israel to go -blam!- itself.

They don't care about peace at all.

I dont know about telling em to go -blam!- themselves, but we should punish them.

The people in Palestine have had their houses bulldozed, been harrased at checkpoints, and have had their lives made misery. And all their land has been taken.

Guys lets keep this on topic. I don't think we want this to turn into a Palestinian Conflict thread.
