Libya Superthread

Libyan troops are trying to blend in with civilians or at the vary least look more like insurgents to avoid being obliterated by NATO air power.

who controls Misurata now

The rebels they won the battle about a month ago they are pushing West.

I don't know about that article anymore. I won't outright deny it, but it seems fishy that the NATO sponsored rebels would be committing acts that are VERY counter-intuitive to their revolution, which is supposed to be fighting against Gadaffi's "oppressive" regime. If your rebellion relies HEAVILY on western support, why in the fuck would you do stuff that is frowned upon in the west and film it no-less. You know the only people that benefit from all this are Gadaffi's forces, who, without the worry of NATO support, could easily crush the rebels(it could be too late now, but who knows). What I'm saying is that I'm not leaving out the possibility that some of this stuff may be being committed by Gadaffi insurgents to bring the press against the rebels, especially the rape, which falls in-line with the whole Gadaffi weaponizing rape ordeal. OR, some or even most of these atrocities could be being committed by fringe extremist rebels, not under NATO guidance. I'm not denying that the NATO rebels are committing these atrocities, they may very well be committing all of them. But most of those videos have no context and I don't know what anybody is saying in any of them. The article doesn't investigate the rape claims beyond the claims. The writer supports her statements only by saying "we have evidence" or "sources in Tripoli." What kind of evidence? What kind of sources? Are your sources reliable? Can you use some of that evidence to support your very large claims? Based on what a Truther believes to be evidence, I doubt it's very solid. We'll see, I guess.

Yes, because Gaddafi payed rebels to execute a Libyan soldier? 9/11 was an inside job too right?

Gadhaffi might have done that. Makes a lot of sense.

meanwhile on the front line

That video actually doesnt show anything, it just shows some dude who appears to wear camo cutting the head off some other dude who also appears to wear camo. And the dude whos head was cutoff appears to be an arab. This is then posted on a site that looks like its owned by a group of consipracy theorists.

A comparable video about North Korean executions can be found here (much less graphic then cheflegels one)


ps: Burgobro, please dont post pictures that wide, it causes the entire thread to be as wide as the picture.

If you have a 1080p monitor it still fits.

And if the world was flat, we would have conspiracy theorists proclaiming earth is actually round and that space travel is possible.

Gaddafi, Saif al-Islam and his spy chief Abdullah Senussi now have arrest warrants for crimes against humanity issued by the ICC so Gaddafi is screwed no matter what he does.

the rebels are about 50 miles outside of tripoli so it looks like gaddafi will be dead in about a month

It's about 75km the last time I checked all they need is some bigger weapons and artillery if the soldiers come back form the Eastern front to defend Tripoli the rebels there will advance so this war might be over sooner than we thought.

gaddafi cant send any mech out to get the rebels simply because he's running out of oil. the price of gas in the capital right now is $8 a gallon. NATO will probably help the rebel for the final push into the capital so artillery isn't needed.

Well the rebels are trying to get the weapons embargo lifted so they can bring bigger weapons form Qatar probably massive artillery guns.

Or he simply dressed some soldiers like rebels(doesn't appear hard to do) and simply executed some random civilian or a rebel while just saying he's a soldier. If he's a soldier, whats his name and rank? If he was an official military, it should be available somewhere.

There's nothing "conspiracy" about what I said. No, 9/11 wasn't an inside job, but do you know who thinks it was, the writer of that article.

Isn't it a bit more believable that the rebels are treating the loyalists like shit?

it looks easier to behead someone than i thought it would

I've said that I'm not discounting the rebels actually doing some, most, or even all of this shit and it wouldn't surprise me if they were.

I support the Indian Maoists, the European Communist and Anarchist movements(Greece, Spain, etc), Sri Lankan Trotskyists, Latin American Socialist and Communist movements(FARC, Venezuela, etc), the illegal Maoist party's in China, Zappa movement in Mexico, the IWW, and several more.
