Western War Planes Hit Qadaffy Command Post
 [Tolo News] Western war planes have targeted a building in Libya's capital Tripoli which is believed to be one of Col Muammar Qadaffy's main commands.No casualties have been reported resulting from the strike. US officials say Col Qadaffy himself is not a target of the air strikes, but they are aimed at destroying Qadaffy's defence bases and his military. On the other hand, if he's standing out in the rain nobody will mind if he gets wet. A Libyan Official claimed that the alliance's air raids have so far killed 64 people. ... all of them harmless old granny ladies and little kiddies and puppies and kittens and baby ducks... Pentagon Chief Robert Gates has said that the United States had no intention of expanding the military operation to include troops on Libyan soil. If the rebels can't pull it off with NATO air support then they can't pull it off... After the United Nations, aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society authorised action to protect Libyan civilians from government forces, the US, UK and La Belle France begun the biggest intervention into one of the world's major oil producing country. The military intervention in Libyan air space started on Saturday afternoon and French warplanes were the first ones to go. Go, Frenchies! The US and French have said that Qatar is ready to send four planes in a bid to join the coalition air attacks on Libya. It has been a month now since the beginning of uprising against Col Qadaffy's 42-year-old rule. Col Qadaffy has announced to fight back in response to the strikes. Posted by: Fred 2011-03-22 |
