[QUOTE=Ogopogo;29539955]There is a surprising amount of things that can be reasoned into "protecting the citizens" and then into "No fly zone"
It would be much nicer if NATO said what their intentions were instead of leaving it open to debate.[/QUOTE]
It is not a no fly zone, and should not be referred to as such.
NATO have made it clear what their intentions are, they are enforcing [B]all parts of[/B] UNSCR 1974. Including section 4.
[QUOTE=flyschy;29540186]This one is Saif al-Arab Gaddafi.
That one was Khamis al-Gaddafi although his death is unconfirmed.[/QUOTE]
Ah, thanks.
[QUOTE=Jsm;29534023]Shit could hit the fan in a very bad way for NATO IMO. Assassination and regime change is not allowed by the resolution. Although like a lot of stories out of Libya there is some extremely one sided reporting so far.[/QUOTE]

Please stop rating this funny, he may be an asshole but he lost his fucking son.[/QUOTE]
He takes people's family from them, and you feel bad for him when the same happens to him? Hmpf, he deserves no sympathy, he's a mad man, a murderer and a psychopath.

I mean support for the intervention could go out of the window, NATO does things by consensus so if this divided NATO in a big way it could cause the operation to fall apart. It could also further divide the UNSC which could cause a country like Russia (who have been quite vocal about their belief that NATO / UN were wrong) to try and get a new resolution passed to stop the intervention.
Back to the main topic at hand:
BBC were just reporting on TV some tiny more details, apparently no bodies etc were at the scene of the attack when the media went to see it. Although given the apparent 2 hour delay after the attack it doesn't seem that surprising. They also gave some info apparently from NATO, apparently they were targeting a "command center" (as I suspected would be the official line, whether or not its true is another matter entirely)
Now it has nothing to do but go downhill. His son is dead, Western powers are invading him. He might do something crazy now. Well crazier.
Gaddafi may have deserved this but his son and grandchildren sure didn't.
Khamis is still alive, the Libyan government had him on TV a few days after the rumor started.
[Quote]On 29 March, the Libyan government showed footage of what it said was live footage of Khamis Gaddafi greeting supporters in Tripoli, in an attempt to refute the claims, though it [b]has used false live images before[/b] and these images have not been verified.[/quote]
Not saying they did fake it but it's possible.

His son is also an asshole.
Reading the fact that his wife, children and family are all in there with him gave me a chill... we shouldn't be bombing households. We know where he is, if we want to kill him we can do it without blowing up bystanders.
Here we go. Mission to help rebels fight and now it's turning to a murder.
And yes, give me boxes, 12 year old politicians.

What about all the people that lost [b]their[/b] son due to what he's done? He's a dick and fully deserves this.
Anyone who's in the same house as Gaddafi and is duplicitous to the mass murder being carried out in his name deserves to die.
If you won't take him out and stop the massacre he's enacting, then get the fuck out of the way. This is assuming he wasn't tied to a chair with a bullseye painted onto him or something.

Before you insult someone, you might want to make sure you know how to spell.
Wasn't another son of him killed by some crazy deserter who flew his fighter yet into one of Ghadaffi's compounds at the beginning of the rebellion?
If so, I feel a bit bad for Ghadaffi, it's his third child that has been killed by airstrikes. His baby daughter was killed in the 1986 airstrike.
Why his fucking grandchildren, thats just asshatery by NATO. "Lets kill more civilians :D"

His son didn't do shit, though.
I'm sorry but when children are killed I draw the line.
[QUOTE=JustExtreme;29545085]His son didn't do shit, though.[/QUOTE]
Exactly. He sat and supported his father despite knowing how wrong it was. He's as guilty as his father.

His grandchildren however.. I doubt they're old enough to be able to deserve that.
Someone send Ted Bundy to take care of him.
should have used a moab

He is using his family (and other people, including the western media) as human shields. It is important to note that there's been no independent confirmation that he was there, or anywhere near it.
It has however been confirmed by the BBC (and probably more now) that the villa was inside of a heavily fortified, military guarded complex. It is entirely possible that they were bombing a command and control facility as NATO claim.

Oh, but the other hundreds, thousands of people that lost their parents or children should have no condolences?

How many families have lost THEIR son to this scum? How many fathers were murdered in cold blood because they didn't agree with him? I have zero sympathy.

On same grounds I have no sympathy for americans.
Can you disagree that the american government has killed more people for its intererests than Gaddafi ever will and ruined lives of even more.
Edit: Also his son didn't actually do shit, Gaddafi did. I'm not saying gaddafi didn't deserve losing his son (This was coming for a long time) but his son probably didn't deserve getting blown up

The logic and reasoning behind this post is so retarded I can't even begin to formulate an explanation as to how you are wrong.
