    6 hours ago A girl sitting out of a vehicle window celebrates and displays the victory sign in Benghazi, Libya on Monday, Feb. 21, 2011. Libyan protesters celebrated in the streets of Benghazi on Monday, claiming control of the country's second largest city after bloody fighting, and anti-government unrest spread to the capital with clashes in Tripoli's main square for the first time.

    The immediate reaction of the present mid-east/geopolitics experts, if i can summarize it, was: that's bull****.
    Berlusconi is crazy, but not that crazy, and i'm pretty sure the rest of his administration, not to mention the Italian AF would tell him to go suck a fat one.

    The guy was all over the place. I had a feeling he went on for way too long, and the host eventually had to cut him off.

    I don't know if you class these as rumours (from the BBC News thread)

    2224: Libyan state TV quotes Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, who spoke on national TV last night, as saying the country's air force has launched air strikes on arms depots around urban areas.

    2227: In confirming that arms depots have been hit, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi also denied that warplanes have targeted civilian areas - one of the key allegations of anti-Gaddafi protesters

    Good to hear.. so many ways to destroy the guys claim but its irrelevant, retarded and can just die away.. not worth the effort.

    Some of the groups protesting against Gaddaffi (in various western cities) are quite scary, to say the least....





    Other are quite promising though.

    What is currently happening cannot be compared with floods and you know it, as you know very well why the integrist sh*theads that you praise are calling for the murder of Khaddafi..
    Iranian regime and their lunatic sunni equivalents will be those who will take beneft of these "revolutions", and certainly not the few arab democrats with a real progressive state of mind.

    Try to see beyond the tip of your nose if you can, but keep playing the fool if it fits you, and be sure that all of our dear supporters of the sacrosanct religion of democracy will regret soon all these hideous dictators that were doing a dirty but necessary job..

    See you in one year to see the state of the new "democratic" arab states

    Probably extremist(not necessarily Libyan) that hope the next Libyan government will be an Islamic regime.

    22 minutes ago The burned-out People's Hall, the main building for government gatherings where the country's equivalent of a parliament holds sessions several times a year, is seen in Tripoli, Libya Monday, Feb. 21, 2011. Deep cracks opened in Moammar Gadhafi's regime Monday, with Libyan government officials at home and abroad resigning, air force pilots defecting and a major government building ablaze after clashes in the capital of Tripoli.

    Thank you enallos, but I am not sure that some of our sophisticated members on board really wants to see that.. I mean... If you're against khaddafi, you're automatically a democrat.
