Hi. I saw this: http://news.yahoo.com/libyas-transitional-leader-declares-liberation-155513082.html Iran, anyone?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-15385955 But..

Ah well, so now it seems (note the caution there) that our own intelligence agencies might have been a bit too paly with ol' murdered Gaddaffi: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-14774533 One wonders what Robert Menéndez, Frank Lautenberg, Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand will make...

Didn't see one yet, so... Maybe 4/5 or more of Tripoli really is in rebel hands as they say. But the area around the Rixos hotel is still in government hands, and so is Seif al-Islam. The BBC just heard from him: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-14625516 He said in fact the rebels had...

http://news.yahoo.com/rebels-enter-heart-tripoli-crowds-celebrate-000932445.html It appears that the rebels are now in the heart of Tripoli and the public is celebrating. Is there any word on the fate of Qhadafi? I shall turn on Al-Jazeera and post important updates as they come in. Update-...

Libya is a dark and brutal place which has been run by a filthy little fascist for the last 40 years. That's longer than I've been alive. When NATO intervened to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe it was obvious that morally cretinous ideologues would be lining up to run interference for...

Yesterday an important conference happened on Libya's future. http://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Libyan-regime-tribal-meeting-is-sign-of-support-1366997.php And at the same time, another meeting of tribal leaders representing the majoirty of all Libyan people, also met of their own volition...

..GENEVA - Snipers are targeting children in the besieged rebel-held Libyan city of Misrata, the U.N.' s children agency said Friday. Hundreds of residents have been killed and wounded in the assault by Gadhafi's forces on Libya's third-largest city, and residents are running short of water...

Despite all the initial western enthusiasm that the colonel would be quickly overthrone, it's looking like he may simply ride out the airstrikes and the rag tag opposition..... So will he still be in power in six months? If yes are we to expect persistent sanctions or will we decide to mend...

http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=24005 Nouri Mesmari is the centralplayer in this drama. It has a compelling logic to it. He defected last October, met in France with several Feb 17 opposition figures, had Gaddafi try unsuccessfully to have him arrested or compell him to...

Getting the UN Resolution to support military action in Libya was almost a miracle (thank you Ghaddafi for pissing off everyone, including your neighbors), but the Resolution was just short of allowing assasination of the root of the problem, only supporting defense of civilians. Given this fact...

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18/20110301/tpl-chavez-warns-us-plans-to-invade-liby-383fe17.html It'll be interesting to see just how quick the Socialist Workers of the world drop their support for the CIA stooges (formerly known as the Libyan people) they have been supporting up to now...

if NATO is 100% certain of Qhaddafi's location, should NATO accidentaly fire a cruise missile at that building, tent, or bunker? I'm really not sure myself. I prefer he be arrested for war-crimes trials.

The Ukaranian "Blond Bombshell" has gone back to the Ukraine. When your Mistress,uh, excuse me Nurse, bails on you things are getting bad. She ain't no Eva Braun.....

The UN is finished as a moral source (as if it ever was). "It is hard to believe, but less than four months before Qaddafi’s forces massacred protesters, the United Nations Human Rights Council members praised him for promoting human rights." From this moment on, I will ignore all UN...

That Gadaffi's time is limited, the only question will be, What wil be his fate? Damn, forgot to add one. Killed by a "trusted" advisor or relative, ala many kings of the past.

I am very concerned about the idea of Qhaddafi falling. He seems to be the very fragile glue that holds that country together. There appears to be no leadership to this uprising, which means no leadership when it eventually succeeds. So what is gonna happen? Will the nation split up? Is...

... to the Libyan people is well under way and on a TV near you right now. I'm going for 1hr 48mins. Small even-money bets accepted on over/under ;) Or will he just talk until they capitulate to his will and plead with him to stop?

It's been suggested: http://english.aljazeera.net/news/africa/2011/02/2011221222542234651.html Helicopters turned the tide against the anti-Saddam protests after the first Gulf War. Should the international community step in to stop a similar thing happening in Libya?

Libya's Gaddafi urges 'holy war' against Switzerland. do like the Gaddafi Family wants or get a holy war. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8537925.stm what do you people think about this Lybian Comedian?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090202/ap_on_re_af/af_au_gadhafi Um...yeah. African Union huh? Really scary...eh Alex Jones? I think not.

This just in, Gaddafi is a loon! Here are some special gems: Wow, thanks for that Mr. Dictator for life!

... ummmmm, well the PM isn't going to talk human rights exactly. Actually, he's not going to talk about it at all. He'll let someone else do that. He's just going to make sure we're in line for some of those lucrative contracts.;) From the CBC
