[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;29765878]Oh will you take your persecution complex and shove it up your pasty white ass? There's a difference between "the US government secretly blew up two of the most iconic buildings in the country" and "A crazy authoritarian regime in the middle east is denying the death of their dictator".[/QUOTE] Funny how I said in my thread that I don't believe 9\11 was an inside job
[QUOTE=mastermaul;29765859]Technicals always look the same.

[QUOTE=Jiyoon;29765906]You shame your avatar.[/QUOTE] The rebels are a bunch of mislead peasants being manipulation by some rich power backers then stayed in the "safe" cities while backed by NATO and Trotskyism is a joke.(Basically glorified social democracy.)
[QUOTE=yaik9a;29766125]The rebels are a bunch of mislead peasants being manipulation by some rich power backers then stayed in the "safe" cities while backed by NATO.[/QUOTE] Misled to believe what? Gaddafi's a dictator who ordered that protesters be killed in the streets. These people are fighting a legitimate battle against him. [editline]11th May 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=mastermaul;29766039]Ah yes, the USSR, a shining symbol of human rights and democracy.[/QUOTE] He's talking about the idea of a proletarian revolution, or simply one by the people.
[QUOTE=evilweazel;29766113]I don't know about you but I dont usually see technicals with planes on them.[/QUOTE] think theyre just passing a plane on a static mount unless you were joking because i dont see how anyone couldnt realize that
[QUOTE=Megafanx13;29766149]He's talking about the idea of a proletarian revolution, or simply one by the people.[/QUOTE] Which doesn't have much to do with a pro-government propaganda poster glorifying a conformed, standardized military. People shouldn't automatically equate soviet symbols with rebellion.
Can we give Putin a Rifle and send him in? He'll show the Polish bloke badassery
[QUOTE=mastermaul;29766244]Which doesn't have much to do with a pro-government propaganda poster glorifying a conformed, standardized military. People shouldn't automatically equate soviet symbols with rebellion.[/QUOTE] I understand that, but Jiyoon's referring more to the essence of the idea that backed the USSR. A bit convoluted mind you, but the point remains the same. True, you shouldn't immediately equate the USSR to revolution, but it's a theme often illustrated in their artwork.
[QUOTE=mastermaul;29766244]People shouldn't automatically equate soviet symbols with rebellion.[/QUOTE] Well as far as my comment goes: he's shaming the idea of people's revolution.
[QUOTE=Acolyt3;29765544]A lot of rumors going around right now that he died the same time his son and three grandchildren were killed by NATO-bombs. Hard to believe anyone could survive this: [img_thumb]http://gfx.dagbladet.no/labrador/163/163724/16372400/jpg/active/729x.jpg[/img_thumb] And nobody has heard from Gaddafi since this bombing.[/QUOTE] He was apparently there, no mention of him since. The BBC's journalists who visited the site said that if in their eyes no one could have left that building alive. They were hinting that either he was in there or they were trying to pull the "glorious leader is invincible" card. [editline]12th May 2011[/editline] Its a shame there is an NFZ in place, I bet that airport could really help the humanitarian side of things (actually I guess it will, I assume NATO would let aid flights in / out, perhaps even going as far as flying some).
[QUOTE=Jiyoon;29766310]Well as far as my comment goes: he's shaming the idea of people's revolution.[/QUOTE] Aye, there's the rub.
Spoke too soon regarding him not been seen or heard from. [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-13369853[/url] (Literally 10 mins ago)
they got planes now. KAMAKAZI!
[QUOTE=garychencool;29766610]they got planes now. KAMAKAZI![/QUOTE] They have had planes for a while, and pilots.
wow this thread has so many exploitable pictures.
[QUOTE=CjienX;29765732]Careful, conspiracy theories are dismissed immediately here, pretty sure I saw that on r/conspiracy earlier[/QUOTE] Just the really, really stupid ones. Like that 9/11 was faked and Osama died in 2001 or is still alive or what not. This one is probable. Since there is no way to -confirm- he's dead without some solid evidence or a body, both of which could have been completely destroyed in that bombing. It'd be awhile until we get any news.
[QUOTE=yaik9a;29765883]This is bullshit, I hope Gaddfi pull through and kills the rebel slime.[/QUOTE] Ahahahah.

Does anyone have an updated version of that map that showed the statuses of the major coastal cities?
[QUOTE=CabooseRvB;29765903]Why so? [/QUOTE] He is pro Gaddafi, I haven't seen him give a proper reason other than "the rebels are bad".

Even Al-Jazeera just has a vague "hot-spot" map up.
[QUOTE=Billiam;29768549]Thanks, but it doesn't look like it's updated too often since IIRC Rebels have Brega[/QUOTE] It was last updated yesterday, its possible that either the person who updates it missed it or it hasn't met their requirements for being confirmed.
