The people of Libya seem to be crying out for help....

The protesters I fear have a much harder job in Libya than in Egypt.

The tyrants are on guard now.

They really do seem to be living in fear right now. And they probably should be too. Attacking peaceful protesters is beyond reprehensible.

Just heard two jet fighters have defected as they were told to fire on civilians.
One's claiming political asylum in Malta.

Gaddafi is fully nuts.

There is one good thing that can be said of GADDAFI: the USA has never supported him and have no hand in propping him up.

Yeah, I'd say so...that little housewarming we gave his miltary bunker back in 1986 with our stealth bombers was a gift he'll never forget

Actually KBR, who are a subsidary of Halliburton , built him all sorts of undetectable bunkers and stuff I think.

Hmm..could be. I do remember the attack left Qaddafi w\o a few of his own family members, his wife and a child, if I recall. Not really cool in any way, but then I remember the people killed by the actions of Libyan terrorists back in the day, and that they would never get to see their families again either.

I guess these will have to be uh renegotiated.

Apparently the opposition in Libya have already taken over part of the country despite threats by Gadaffi to raise forces against them.

Now he's saying it's bin ladens fault. Something tells me that's like the middle east version of playing the race card.

Lets just save time and have all the dictators line up steal what you carry hold and leave.
