Shame it wasn't the Colonel, although it's probably best for Libya and us if he stays in power for now.

 

[arknor]

they are clearly trying to assassinate gaddafi, he was giving a speach on tv at 3am last night and nato bombed the TV building during the speech....

i saw someone post a dailymail article on another forum lol
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1380364/Libya-Gaddafis-troops-rape-children-young-eight.html

Fuelled 'by Viagra', Gaddafi's troops use rape as a weapon of war with children as young as EIGHT among the victims

probbaly made up rubbish knowing the dailymail and the bbc and skynews websites havent reported anything about it

 

[Westyfield2]

Gaddafi's son been killed?

 

[LOAM]

Seems so although its difficult to confirm I imagine. Libya is saying so though.

Gaddafi's son been killed?

Supposedly. The young, quiet one. Al-Arab. Not the mouthy Al-Islam one.

it was rumoured he had defected to the rebels at one point

i dunno... if you know anything about the brutal wars in western africa then it sounds about right considering gadaffis supposed to be using mercenaries from those parts

plenty of people like this must still exist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Butt_Naked

 

[trigger-happy]

oh ffs!, I knew the airstrikes will make things worse. Gaddafi will probably take revenge for the death of his family members. Also there are reports that many civilians are killed by the airstrikes by NATO. Also aljazeera says gaddafi called a truce because of the bombings in Tripoli.

 

[arknor]

the rebels wont ceasefire anyway theres no point when they know if they break any ceasefire nato will still help them

there was a news report on channel 4 earlier that was up there with the worst id ever seen , some doctors spending 70 minutes trying to keep a five year old who had been shot alive , he died

no doubt it was pro gaddafi troops cos rebel bullets are magic and they cant hurt civilians

Can't believe that such brutal 'animals' also exist in our world

So I see we've murdered Gadaffi's son, in our on-going attempt to assassinate Gadaffi.

If Cameron and his family are now targeted personally by Gadaffi or others, Cameron can have no complaint.

Right.....

Right.....

Do you think he should be immune from the consequences of his actions? He is acting way outside international law.

We've had this discussion before - there is no such thing as International Law. Especially for these guys.

You mean there is such thing as international law, but some countries feel they are above it, so they flout it with impunity. Yet they expect others to follow it. Yes?

A little hyperbolic - but pretty much. I'm also unsure how they've actually broken the 'law' anyway!

I'm not going to defend Gadaffi - the world won't miss him. I'm uneasy about the UK's involvement in Libya, purely out of mission creep and the cost. But I won't criticise our actions as - shock horror - I'm not privy to the facts.
