As much as I despise it I can't avoid recognizing it seems like a brilliant tactic.

11:36 GMT EDIT:
"Spanish president just asked for permission to the Parliament to engage in the attack to Libya"
"he also met with Gafafi last year, and after that, Spain sold 6.9 million € of militar equipment to Gaddafi"
Apparently, "military said they could start the attack on Monday"

[Zangi]

Radio just said Gaddafi is now calling for a cease fire.

So did this website.

Actually, looking over that blog thingy, looks like Gaddafi has a lot of morons loyal to him?  Or is the ceasefire just a delay tactic?

[Korgus]

It'd be a clever strategy if he wasn't still killing people.
25 people dead in Misrata today from what I've heard.

[olemars]

Gaddafi has just promised he will not enter Benghazi, in accordance with the resolution.

Instead he will shell it from the outside.

[Zrk2]

There are rumors that Gaddafi has been collecting bodies in preparation for NATO air strikes so they can be planted as "civilian casualties" wherever the bombs land.

That sounds like a good tactics for getting the UN to GTFO. I just put on CNN, so hopefully I'll get up-to-date soon.

EDIT: Dozens dead in Yemen -CNN

I am still betting on World War 3.

The whole world versus Gaddafi? Seems like it'd be a short war.

We have at least a half dozen dictators openly and publicly killing their own people from the ivory coast to iran right now. They are not even pretending any more. Yemen snipers massacred dozens. Saudi Arabia has moved troops into Bahrain to suppress the ethnic majority it shares with Iran. This stuff is building up, it keeps going on and it will turn into a clusterfuck of even more epic proportions.

I really wish one of the western nations would just man up and send a 'dirty job' team to clean this crap up.

Possible : Nato will act militarily, but China and Russia could take that as a threat against their interests.

Please, it's not that easy. And really, who will you kill? I'd like to remember you that the poeple killing civilians are our allies. Well, not kadhafi, but the Saudi and Barheim are damn close to the us. And we sold them a fuckton of our best weapons, too .

[Jopax]

Well i meant only kafadaffi, and you know, since it would be done in secret it would just end up with a dead tyrant and a demoralized military

[Nadaka]

Phmcw: pretty much what I was thinking.

Right now it looks to be a pretty messy regional situation where just about everyone has conflicts of interest. But the same could be said for certain regions in the early 19teens and 19thirties.

I wondered about that when Russia invaded Georgia, I doubt this will. Obama won't start an all out war because that would severely hurt his chances of being reelected.

It might get him some redneck votes if he goes after the commie turrurusts.

[Zrk2]

But he'll lose everyone that voted for him in the first place. Talk radio will never let the rednecks vote for him.
