Ghaddafi Orders Jet Fighters To Bombard Protesting Civilians In Libya by Justcash(m): 7:39pm On Feb 21, 2011 |
Ghaddaffi is a confirmed Mad man. He is slaughtering his people because he wants to hold unto power. He sent Some Colonels to go and bomb the protesters. Some of the Colonels refused and went to Malt instead, where they were promptly arrested. Mercenaries, made up of West Africans were hired to Shell the crowd of protesters. It is a Massacre. Ghaddaffi is believed to be on the run to Venezuela. Is this the sort of thing that would have happened in the United States of Africa that Ghaddaffi proposed? Looks like the sort of thing Nigerian Leaders can do. What a Shame! Source: Watching it on Al jazeera |

Two Libyan Air Force fighter pilots defected on Monday and flew their jets to Malta where they told authorities they had been ordered to bomb protesters, Maltese government officials said. They said the two pilots, both colonels, took off from a base near Tripoli. One of them has requested political asylum. The pilots are being questioned by the Maltese police. The two said they decided to fly to Malta after being ordered to bomb anti-government protesters in Libya's second largest city of Benghazi, the sources said. Police were also questioning seven passengers who landed in European Union member state Malta from Libya on board two French-registered helicopters. The government sources said the helicopters left Libya without authorization by the Libyan aviation authorities and that only one of the seven passengers -- who say they are French citizens -- had a passport. A French Foreign Ministry spokesman could not immediately confirm the information as it was still being verified. The four-decade rule of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has been shaken by days of violent protests which reached the capital Tripoli for the first time on Monday. Source |

I'm not surprised at the news. It is Ghadaffi we are talking about here |

GAME OVER! Some believe, the minute you bring foreign forces/elements to quell demonstrations, and subsequently kill your own citizens, you have committed a treasonable offense! |
Re: Ghaddafi Orders Jet Fighters To Bombard Protesting Civilians In Libya by darlingbas(m): 9:20pm On Feb 21, 2011 |
right from the onset, i knew libya's version of the current wave sweeping across the middle east is going to be a very dicey one, Gadaffi is a very tough meet, I think the people have reached the point of no return, hence Gadaffi's resort to the use of force, He's a shameless little goat. |
Re: Ghaddafi Orders Jet Fighters To Bombard Protesting Civilians In Libya by pleep(m): 9:47pm On Feb 21, 2011 |
Kobojunkie: We must keep in mind that all these 'strong men' in N. Africa were actaully very good for thier countries, they brought stability and economic growth, ( at least more than in the south) and i also liked his pan africanism. |
Re: Ghaddafi Orders Jet Fighters To Bombard Protesting Civilians In Libya by Kobojunkie: 9:55pm On Feb 21, 2011 |
pleep: I hate to do this, but could please define "good"? You mean in much the same way we can claim Abacha was "good" for Nigeria? I mean some will argue that he did rescue us from Babangida(even it that ain't so factual) and the nation was most "secure" during his regime as well. lol |

Mercenaries have no qualms in killing people they have no allegiance to. That is why Gaddafi hired them. |
Re: Ghaddafi Orders Jet Fighters To Bombard Protesting Civilians In Libya by pleep(m): 11:14pm On Feb 21, 2011 |
Kobojunkie: by good i mean long term positve effects on the country. The libya of now is certainly much better than it was in 1969 when ghaddafi took over. he managed his natural resources well, and improved his country. however, nigeria is certainly not better than it was in the 60's, infact nigeria is much worse. that is because he had a long string of bad leaders. |
Re: Ghaddafi Orders Jet Fighters To Bombard Protesting Civilians In Libya by Kobojunkie: 11:18pm On Feb 21, 2011 |
pleep: How come the Libyan people do not seem to agree with your assessment of their government? If Ghaddafi has been so good to them, why are they revolting today, if Libya is much better and all? Why the sudden do-or-die to remove him from office? |
Re: Ghaddafi Orders Jet Fighters To Bombard Protesting Civilians In Libya by pleep(m): 11:29pm On Feb 21, 2011 |
Kobojunkie:dont get me wrong ghadaffi has overstayed in office. but Most of the protesters are young people and have always known ghaddafi as their president. They naturaly would blame every problem on him, im not saying he is an angel he has a poor human rights record an probably some curruption, but there is no denying he improved libya. unemployment can make anyone angry but that is not neccecarily ghadaffis fault. sorry to bring this up again, but all you have to do is compare libya to nigeria, the main difference is leadership. but libya is a much better place to live. |
Re: Ghaddafi Orders Jet Fighters To Bombard Protesting Civilians In Libya by KnowAll(m): 11:30pm On Feb 21, 2011 |
how can u love your people when shoot them like turkeys and bomb them into smithereens. Gaddafi is definitely a mad-dog. |
Re: Ghaddafi Orders Jet Fighters To Bombard Protesting Civilians In Libya by Gayigaskia(m): 11:34pm On Feb 21, 2011 |
Kobojunkie:Simple because human beings are just unpredictable. Khaddafi has indeed been good for his people with his oil wealth redistribution program. Opinion: Libya's Redistribution of Wealth Must Not Breed a Dependency Culture |

@Kobo, I don't think the fellow who has enjoyed so much good will from a considerable number of Libyans within and outside his country can be discounted. I remember seeing a special on Aljeezera still just after the Syrian/Israeli War, Libyans PRAISED Ghaddafi for calling for restabliment of the Palestinian state. But right now this guy has stepped out of any cocoon he had about himself. In truth many ppl admit Libya was not as great as they would have you believe though. Heck this is plain evil, |

Ghaddafi is going nuts. He'll soon join his brother abacha when God says its time |
Re: Ghaddafi Orders Jet Fighters To Bombard Protesting Civilians In Libya by viclee009: 12:21am On Feb 22, 2011 |
So what is new, Nigeria millitary leaders did far worst. if you doubt me, ask babangida what he did secretly when he was a dictator in Nigeria before handing over to Abacha the butcher. May abacha continue to rot in hell until babangida join him so that they can rot together. Amen |

May God save us from the hands of our African leaders. A M E N ! Ghaddafi gave his people food but no freedom, of speech etc , freedom is very important to any living thing. if you've ever seen a goat that has just been untied, you will understand what i mean. i'd rather be free than eat and be bound, who him go rule if he kill them finish? |
Re: Ghaddafi Orders Jet Fighters To Bombard Protesting Civilians In Libya by Kobojunkie: 1:11am On Feb 22, 2011 |
Parnassuss:Well, this evil has been happening from the beginning. That is what I am saying. Ghaddaffi did not necessarily change -- he has always been known to put down opposition in this manner. Only now we are tuning in LIVE and in REAL TIME, and now we can better judge and understand that what we have supported over the years, has never been really good for the people. |
Re: Ghaddafi Orders Jet Fighters To Bombard Protesting Civilians In Libya by Kobojunkie: 1:13am On Feb 22, 2011 |
pleep: I am not even referring to his being there for 41 years. I am addressing the claim that Ghaddaffi has changed. If you look at the man's history, what we see today is the same Ghaddaffi of the 70's and the 80's . . . . Only it seems your perception of him is what has changed here today, maybe as a result of the fact that now we get to watch the massacre of opposition to his regime on LIVE TV! |
Re: Ghaddafi Orders Jet Fighters To Bombard Protesting Civilians In Libya by turboman(m): 1:19am On Feb 22, 2011 |
Gayigaskia: I have heard of this line where every Libyan receives a monthly payment for being a citizen, but i never knew it was as much as US$ 5,000. A very foolish approach for a nation in this century. However, i hope the new regime after the downfall of Ghadaffi would continue the payment else the whole revolution would be a ghastly mistake as the whole nation would likely plunge into a civil war when they stop getting their usual monthly stipend. |

This has been a long time coming, Libyans have finally found their voice, Hopefully this wont turn out to be yet another animal farm revolution. |
