    Youtube is removing videos showing Gaddafi successes, within a few minutes of upload.
    Apparently we should only see rebel posers and not proper footage of what's happening...

    Forget YouTube, try to search via Google videos search

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...rce=vgc&num=30

    not that google and youtube is different (same owner) but at least you got results from other sources.

    Also, it seems the rebels got inspiration from Latin America (hear the music @0:39)

    I'm not quite sure what you are suggesting but if you are suggesting I have an overly naive opinion of the people of Libya and their motives you would be mistaken. I was simply stating you can not determine a people's ideology from the use of that particular phrase.

    My bad it was misplaced sarcasm. I know that Umma members can't help themselves from declaring that God's great, but there was a video when a "rebel/FF/insurgent" was explaining the woes of the Libyan people at the hands of Ghaddafi the Jew. Just sayin'...

    Rhino: nope only T-72's.

    You remember the exagerated casualties of romanian revolution? The supposed mass graves and so on? And the same thing during Kosovo war? Or the supposed "massacre" made by IDF in the palestinian city of Jenin? All these so called events were relayed by BBC, CNN and the rest of the global media clique.

    In terms of truth, western medias are far to be a reference. They are maybe more free than Iranian or Cuban medias, of course, but they stay nevertheless tools of their governments when their support is requested to justify some foreign policies.

    They have more liberties than other medias from autoritarian states, but it would be naive to think that they are absolutely impartial and objective.

    Kadafi is currently the man to shoot at any price, since that the sacrosanct international community has decided it, so I doubt they will have any scruples to go check if what they are told is real or not, and I doubt too that many people would complain about such practices, except for those interested in the truth.

    Is that also a common method of showing your love for other ethics and religions in the muslim world?
    It depends.

    If you draw this on a portrait of Kadafi, calling him a dirty Jew, it is democratic.
