Yeah, about that intervention thingy, this just popped up on BBCnews

quote:

2047: One of the most active anti-Gaddafi tweeters, Libyan Dude, tweets: "Ok, more important than ever to say this I guess: We don't want foreign (and western) intervention, only condemnation and humanit. aid".

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 skies be filled with Italian fighter planes? I've read that Italia has put its air bases on full alert and sending its planes south earlier today.

That's a great line, although I'm not sure I buy everything the expat is saying on AJE.

"OK? OK? OK? OK?" This guy is starting to piss me off. He's been going "OK, OK, OK" for hours now. No wait, that guy in Rome who was mortally afraid of speaking in front of a camera was worse.

Holy poo poo, CNN's Ben Wedeman is inside Libya right now. I wonder how he got in.

Well, considering the border to Egypt seems to no longer be staffed, I guess he just wandered in.
