Libya says Gaddafi's youngest son killed in NATO airstrike

TRIPOLI, May 1 (Xinhua) — The youngest son of Muammar Gaddafi was killed in a NATO airstrike on a house where the Libyan leader and his family were staying at the time, a government spokesman said Sunday.

The raid caused the deaths of Saif al-Arab Gaddafi, 29, the youngest son of Gaddafi, and three of Gaddafi’s grandchildren, spokesman Mossa Ibrahim told a press conference.

The Libyan leader himself and his wife, who were in the house at the time, were in good health, while some other people were injured in the attack, Ibrahim said.

This was a direct attempt on the Libyan leader’s life, a violation of international law which has no legal or political justifications, he said.

After the raid which took place around 8:00 p.m. local time (1800 GMT) Saturday, Ibrahim took a group of journalists to the site of the house located in a residential area in western Tripoli.

As a Xinhua correspondent witnessed at the scene, the three-storey building was partially destroyed, with part of the roofs completely caved in, leaving mangled rods of reinforcing steel hanging down among splintered chunks of concrete. The house was left empty with no dead bodies remaining there.

Libyan officials said the house was hit by three missiles. Two of them exploded, the third was seen lying in one of the rooms of the building.

After the airstrike, large numbers of Libyans took to the streets,protesting the NATO strikes against civilians and expressing their support and sympathy for Gaddafi and his family.

Meanwhile, NATO said it did stage airstrikes on Tripoli but would not confirm the Libyan claim about the deaths and the assassination attempt.

“NATO continued its precision strikes against Gaddafi regime military installations in Tripoli overnight, including striking a known command and control building in the Bab al-Azizya neighborhood shortly after 1800 GMT Saturday evening,” NATO said in a statement.

The alliance insisted all its targets are military in nature and linked to Gadhafi’s “systematic attacks on the population.”

The commander of the NATO operation, Lieutenant General Charles Bouchard, said he was aware of unconfirmed reports that some Gadhafi family members may have been killed and he regretted “all loss of life.”

Asserting he would not leave, Gaddafi floated on Saturday a proposal for a cease-fire and negotiations in a televised speech and called on all parties to resort to dialogue only if NATO halts its airstrikes.

“Libya welcomes a cease-fire,” Gaddafi said in his speech, adding that “a cease-fire can not be done unilaterally.”

However, Gaddafi made it clear that he will never leave his country and nobody can force him to leave.

“I don’t have any function or post. If I were a president, my fate would be like the fates of the presidents of Tunisia and Egypt,” Gaddafi said.

He said all parties concerned should follow the truce, and the NATO forces must stop their attacks.

Gaddafi ruled out the possibility that he will quit and leave Libya, which he has been ruling over the past 41 years.

God the Chinese nedia is full of shit.
It’s worse than ours.

Instead yo usomehow justify allowing the news media to carry this story abou tht ef’ing President of the United States for literally years and that accomplished what? Being high minded? No what it accomplished you stuck up short-sighted bozoz is you enabled the spread of a racist story and helped cement it in the American consciousness.

The futility of reasoning with crazy – War Room – Salon.com

like this piece but….
OK first off it’s not just the R’s. The Dem’s come up with their own steaming piles of feces. they are just not as outlandish. Still bullshit though.

Moving on.

I wish the article had stayed on topic and I wish they’ve been less rah, rah D’s. (see above)

Lastly I wish they had refuted the points they mentioned in plainer English but that’s the problem with Dem. If you don’t know something that they know, they think you are stupid, or at least they will only explain it in obtuse, inaccessible language that leaves no doubt that they think you are stupid. Of course only an idiot can’t explain something they claim to know in and out in simple terms but that is another issue.

Put all of what I just said to together and yes, yes I am Ok with taking this quote of context.

our two great political parties appears to be governed by what Charles P. Pierce calls the “Three Great Premises” of talk radio: “First Great Premise: Any theory is valid if it moves units … Second Great Premise: Anything can be true if someone says it loudly enough … Third Great Premise: Fact is that which enough people believe. Truth is measured by how fervently they believe it.”
