Jets pound Libyan capital |
2011-05-11 |
[Emirates 24/7] Jets screamed in low over Tripoli early Tuesday, carrying out a series of strikes in quick succession, after witnesses reported two others near state media offices a few hours before. Eight kabooms were heard in the capital Tripoli as jets carried out unusually heavy bombardment over roughly three hours. Four kabooms rocked the Libyan capital shortly after 2:00 am (0000 GMT) on Tuesday, shaking the windows of a hotel housing journalists. They were quickly followed by two more blasts. Late Monday, witnesses reported two kabooms in the capital as jets flew overhead, adding that smoke was rising from a site near the offices of Libyan television and state news agency JANA. The blasts came after NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the style of the American pants... chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen said time was running out for Libyan leader Moamer Gadhafi, who "should realise sooner rather than later that there's no future for him or his regime." |

#7 #4 Bobby that is curious. They will cling to the smallest bit of information to support their interests but attack those who appose with the smallest bit of information. |

#4 Ironic, isn't it. My fairly intelligent sister said (electronically) of zero's decision to attack Libya, "Well, at least he got the international community this time." I reminded her about the 37 countries, House, Senate, and UN resolutions behind W and Iraq. She didn't respond. Maybe her head exploded. |

#1 Tightening the screws on media. That's pretty aggressive, for NATO. Curious to see how this will pan out. |
