I wish my country (Italy) would finally show some balls, and after asking consent of NATO and EU, step up and send a fat task force to kick those mercs in the balls and hang them high.
First to protect Lybians, tben to protect italians living and working there (which are many), and finally to protect our interests there and keep oil prices from jumping high

Shouldn't your country be busy ridding yourself of your own corrupt leader?

The defectors will probably be able to return when the revolt is successful.

Sky news have really impressed me with their reporting on this. They are up there with AJE now.


Some of the videos remind me of this badass from my own country:

What are you arguing actually? I am not NATOS biggest fan, but what they are doing here is a good thing. No one can dispute that.

I think they thought they were fighting Gaddafi forces, fog of war.

They should build some Observers.

Mostly the same reason Putin is in power, many Italians and Russians have this notion that they need a strong man to lead them. Because they are such an willstrong people.

Some of the stuff in that PHR report is appalling

loving hell, so instead of revenging the horrible things the soldiers did to his daughters he killed them. I can't imagine why anyone would do that.

It's no wonder guys like Milosevic killed themselves before being tried. They've lost everything they know.

I just had a argument with a goon on G+, he started quoting RT news at me to prove that NATO was literally raping Lybia as we speak. It's sad how much in denial the Qaddafi supporters are now.

Awesome craziness here.


Gaddhafi is apparently Schroendinger's Dictator, both alive and dead at the same time.

Perhaps they will use socialist theory to determine the time and cause of Gaddhafi's death; it's about as effective as anything else it's been used for.

Also, I'm loving the D&D invasion of this thread. "It doesn't matter how many people Gaddhafi had killed or tortured to stay in power for over forty years - he improved Libya's health care, and thus must be mourned and treated with proper and due respect." :downsbravo:

Hey hey hey, as long as you improve education and healthcare in your country, you deserve your own raperoom.

A few of my friends on facebook are complaining about Libya now becoming a Islamic Republic that have already signed all their oil away to US-NATO. I've tried pointing out that western Oil companies where already heavily invested in Libya (oh hay BP), but by accepting help from NATO Libya have apparently given away their Oil to NATO for free.

These people are really far to the left.

It's really hard for them to wrap their head around the fact that NATO was involved and something good actually came out of it.

One of them also claimed that the grassroots support for Gaddafi is much larger than the NTC and all news reports he had seen supported this. I posted Videos and Images of massive NTC rallies, but apparently that was not proof enough. The reply was something along the line of "if this is a peoples revolution why are there no women in the street in the middle of the night"

It's a predominately Islamic country just exiting a civil war, and it's the middle of the night. You do the math genius.


They are approaching AJE building mock Syrian villages territory now.

One of my friends on Facebook are saying the Islamists are going around Tripoli in "morality" patrols and telling women to cover themselves up, and know their place. Any truth to this?
