Poll: Rebels rolling into Tripoli

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Hum I wonder if it was really necessary to kill him. None of us know the exact circumstances but I'd have hoped that every effort would have been made to take him alive.

It now seems that he fell on some live bullets by mistake after being captured.

Anyway,the important thing is for the country to rebuild now. I only hope,that there won't be reprisals against groups considered as sympathetic to Gaddafi like black Africans.

^ I'm sure there will be.

There were stories of soldiers surrendering to rebels only to be tortured, executed and paraded through the streets. I think there was some video footage of it on youtube a few months back.

They're a bunch of animals, whatever a man's done when his dead thats it. Bury him and leave the rest to God. No need to desecrate his body.

How come none of these retards can hold a camera phone steady?

Regarding the missing missiles,it seems the head of US Africa command has some comments on them:

Basically,they are instigating measures so they can recover the missiles. It seems none were used in combat either according to the US.

An Israeli website has mentioned this:

OTH,it could be a load of nonsense.

Too excited and firing their weapon in the air with the other hand.

The truck was also moving and people were pushing and shoving to get a glimpse too.

RIP Uncle - didnt know you well and our family refused to deal with you, but blood is blood.

Say what?

They can't hold anything steady. This revolution would have been over 6 months ago if they had actually aimed their rifles instead of spraying them randomly in the air.

Nice find.. I hope that rebel knows how to use eBay. He could be in for quite a tidy fortune if he plays his cards right !

The guy on the right claimed he captured Gaddafi and took the pistol from him.

I must admit that's been one of the outstanding things I've noticed about this fight.

The only rebels who have their guns in their shoulders are the ones in cover... yet the tactic seems to be:

"Leave cover, align AK with hip, empty mag in rough direction of a town, find cover again. Repeat."

Ye gods, no wonder 'snipers' held up the rebel advance. Out there, 'sniper' counts as someone who can use the sights on a gun!

Not forgetting that for anything with a calibre greater than 7.62mm, shouting "Allah Ackbar" after firing it is mandatory

Still, these guys were just normal guys before the civil war. They went up against the trained soldiers of a brutal regime. They should be applauded for that - I'm not so sure I'd have the guts to do the same if I were in their situation.

Actually,quite a few of them were also from the Libyan armed forces too. After all they were able to maintain and operate aircraft,heavy weapons and armoured vehicles they were using.

On sky now, film of Gaddafi alive and in rebel hands! Looks like they executed him, and makes very uncomfortable viewing.

the beebs just ran a clip on news 24 taken briefly before that clip of a still alive Gadaffi being manhandled by a mob prior to being killed.

an american general was over heard telling CNN they nolonger hold the record for most friendly fire casulties during a war but its not a record they intend to lose for long.
