What was the AA fire for? What about the explosion?
more cruise missiles likely, AA fire trying to bring them down

the coalition refuses to talk about current attacks as to not show their hand, and the Gaddafi government pretends nothing is happening.

Honestly as a Canadian i'm proud when we contribute to this stuff, though i'm even more proud when we send in Peacekeepers wearing the Blue helmet of the UN or Peacemakers wearing the White helmet of NATO(both were Canadian inventions) These groups truly show my pride for my country more than direct military action

I like seeing UN troops take action more than anything. I wish it had more power to intervene.

To be fair, in the eyes of a British national, my understanding of the matter is that it was us and the French who lead the talks and pressed for this resolution, it was certainly David Cameron and French counterparts who spoke most harshly against the regime in the early days.

That's my point. I'm proud to see you guys really pushing for this and getting it done. When I said US lead I was referencing the fact that the US is leading the military operation, however they are looking to pass control to someone else.

The Diplomatic effort is all you guys :D

We need to pull out and let the french annihilate everything in sight because apparently they have some agenda against the gadhafi forces. With that plan we wouldnt have to take the blame for any mistakes pretty much

Bahraini King blames unrest in his country on a plot from Irani spies

Frankly I'm surprised he's not blaming Al-Queda. Wait that wouldn't make sense, Al-Queda is Sunni, right?

cooperation between Western European and North American Powers, sure. World cooperation. not a hope. even allies in this operation are criticizing each other

There are those who said this day would never come. What have they to say now?

I'm hearing that it will be NATO taking over military control from America?

  • 03.21.2011 12:37 PM PDT

it's kind of funny.

nope, not yet anyways.

the US is giving up control but there is a UN summit today to find out to who they will give control. many countries, including NATO nations(Turkey, Canada, France) who feel it should not be a NATO run operation.

Well I'd have to agree with them. This is a UN campaign by the international community, not a military block that carries the connotation of cold war politics.

Oh, are they admitting that they are actually under attack?

In all seriousness, if that's what the Gadaffi regime says, I'm inclined to believe something far worse happened.

As of now the U.K Government are debating is Gadaffi a legitimate target. If he is, the gloves are off.

Italy in a change of heart says it thinks NATO should be in command

"The measure of a man is what he does with power"-Plato

Well that's a wrong decision. It should be a joint UN and UAE operation, this is needed for the essential backing of this operation. Get the UAE involved more and they are likely to back this more than they all ready are.
