"A strike at the heart of Gaddafi's compound"... 13 Years ago  
protecting civilians? It's all very strange. As though we have gone quite mad.

I'm sure if I were Libyan I'd want Gaddafi out but many don't and it is none of our business; there should not be killing and murder done by people in our name and with our money. Like Iraq, I'm outraged. If I could sue our Government, I would.

Where is your evidence that ANYONE wants Gaddafi to remain (apart from those who have a gun in their backs?)?

Even his "army" are foreign mercenaries !

France recognises the new government, so does Qatar (who are selling the oil), and now the Kuwait government also (and offers $180m in aid). US Senator McCain recently visited and said the USA should recognise the new government too.

The UK and USA do not "officially" recognise the new government yet - but are doing all they can to assist it,and have said Gaddafi must go, so de facto, DO only accept the new government.

Out of view of international media, Gaddafi's forces have been pounding rebel Berber towns in Libya's remote Western Mountains with artillery.

The capture of a crossing on the Tunisian border by rebels has let refugees flee in cars or on foot along rocky paths, swelling refugee numbers in southern Tunisia to 30,000.

"Our town is under constant bombardment by Gaddafi's troops. They are using all means. Everyone is fleeing," said one refugee, Imad, bringing his family out of the mountains.

The killings in Syria have happened largely because the "government" there have been emboldened by Gaddafi's stance .... and if we do not defeat Gaddafi (which we obviously will) then more and more unrest and killings will follow.

The Yemeni "president" has recently agreed to step down in the next 30 days (after holding out for months).

Gaddafi's compound? Efficacious in every way.

More bold statements Let's hope they prove more accurate than your last ones.

Watching "Russia Today" and "Aljazeera" you get a totally different picture of what is happening in Libya - compared to the BBC/ITV reports.

Strange. I'd expect it to be exactly the same. I guess that's why Rashomon got me all confused.
