Lol too late for that. They probably just want to make it seem like they had no idea that this was going to happen. They knew it was coming.

The comments make me rage. How is this a war crime? I know NATO going in to "only protect civilians" is a load of BS but do people realize they're not really in there for oil, bases, or fun. Gaddafi poses a real threat to not just the Libyan people but the whole region if he stays in power.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. But doesn't that video just make you want to go "Bring it on MOFO!"

Nah, at least not from what's been said so far; Obama's stated that there will not be any deployment of ground troops.

Far as I know, we're just playing a support role in the form of missile strikes on anti-air targets.

NATO is going to get criticized whether it gets involved or not. It's either being insensitive to the plight of the people or being imperialist pigs.

Doubtful. But you may aid in a war. Then again, if Gaddafi doesn't cease and desist he may be facing a ground invasion from other countries.

There are reports of western journalists being detained.
I guess this is what he ment by "Western interests will be tageted, as of now".

Bastard
Who reported this?


It's from the BBC news site, but was reported by AlJazeera, as they are AlJazeera journalists (but have western nationalities).

well, Gadaffi is calling the United Nations Coalition "Terrorists"

oh the Irony...

i have a Unconfirmed report of B-2 Bombers attacking Libya as
well

Also, NATO is debating whether to commit or not

Unconfirmed reports of Gadaffi's forces have been defeated outside Benghazi, and the Rebels have armed about a Million Civilians. i could be wrong though, it could of been Gadaffi arming civilians.

also reports of Gadaffi's Tanks entering Misrata

It gets better

Apparently the US is only leading right now. Obama doesn't want this to be an American operation, so maybe France will be the leading nation?
