Western War Planes Hit Qadaffy Command Post
2011-03-22
[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.

#10  Well dribble's comments seem unmatched in their zeal, depths of depravity and lack of brevity. I cop to going over to the sink trap to see what is there, because if nothing else, you can never call ahead of time what zany stuff is going to be there.

#9  "He has not yet been banished to Road Side America."

When/if y'all ever decide to ban him/her/it, could you do it to Road Side Iran?

#8  I'm sorry, I hit Submit too quickly. You'll notice, Rhodesiafever, that where Dribble behaves himself, his comments remain untouched. He has not yet been banished to Road Side America.

#7  If I wanted blank spaces in my news, I would read the Zimbabwe Herald.

Those blank places are archived in the sinktrap, Rhodesiafever. Go to that word in Dribble's post; you will be taken directly there. But Dribble takes lascivious pleasure in dwelling on viciousness, and we are not interested in displaying his onanism.

#1  "If the rebels can't pull it off with NATO air support then they can't pull it off..."

I am good with that.

Of course, we do have to remember we are dealing with the average Arab here. But against Arabs...well...its not impossible. Plus its Moslems against Moslems.

Does Obama actually sit down in the same room with anybody from the Pentagon and discuss any of this face to face with say...someone...anyone...in a nasty old uniform?

Would, Obama, could Obama be seen sitting with Generals and Colonels, breathing the same air in the same room..well, I know its hard to imagine...but maybe? And could it be well,,,possible? And they actually discussed things? Came to agreements, meeting of the minds, that sort of thing...exchanged views...dialogued even...

...like: " let's kill the monkey son of a biych, what do you think, General?" Or maybe: "What's the best way to get control of a port and a pipeline and get a few Tankers in there and load up, when can we pull that off , Colonel?" And just maybe:" What does Intell project on those weapons shipments to al-Gombah and the rebels? Are we in touch with their head of Operations to cut Kadaffy off from his Oil fields and give us a landing site so the French can land a Brigade of Can-Can girls in full battle dress?" "When can the Italians deliver the girls and the hairdressers?"
"General, I want to announce the price of Oil is going down this month at some point, what do you project from the Saudi pretty-boys?"

General Chisoss, move that mirror a little closer and bring in the photographers, I feel a Speech coming on.
