There was no known injuries at it remains unclear where the leader has been living since the no-fly zone was ordered.
There were two circular holes in the roof, which is consistent with a missile strike, and rubble littered the street. It remains unclear when the strike occurred, reported Fox News’ Steve Harrigan.
Pentagon official had previously said Sunday that the coalition “will not be going after Qaddafi.”
Cool
Am I the first to point out that I am pretty sure that one or even both iraq wars started on purim and now this started on purim (local Libyan time). Is that supposed to be a coincidence? What’s the message?
If this was done by American missiles or planes, someone could be charged with murder since it is a federal crime to target a foreign head of state. If this building was also be used as a command/control center for Libyan forces, than its a legitimate target.
Why doesn’t Obama move to protect the democratic demonstrators in Syria, who are being subject to mass arrest?
Also: given that US forces sometimes kill civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq, will the Allies bomb these forces?
He has to be killed…otherwise we risk a lunatic armed with billions of petrodollars and a demonstrated willingness to commit terrorist acts on a vast scale…for which, up until now, he has never been brought to account.
May Hashem guide the bombs and missiles into the heart of the viper’s nest.
This is a lose/lose situation for Odumbo, one day his speech demands Gaddafi has to leave and the next day he stoutly defends million dollar tomahawk missiles causing civilian casualties as protecting the Libyan people! He can’t be a staunch liberal to his base while he joins a coalition in a war! And then he has the chutzpah to run off and dance in Brazil…typical non-leader elitist of the ME generation, satisfying his wants first, to heck with America, my family needs a vacation and we can call it a “working” vacation!
