Rebels vow to fight, retake Brega as efforts stepped up on no fly zone

France stepped up efforts on Monday to persuade world powers to impose a no-fly zone over Libya, as Muammar Gaddafi's troops battled rebel fighters for control of the strategic oil town of Brega.

Rebel forces in Libya say they have retaken the eastern town of Brega, capturing a number of elite government troops and killing many others.

Hague: Libya No-Fly Zone Decision Near

As you may know by now the Arab League called on the UN to impose a Libya no-fly zone and recognized Rebels as Libya's legal Government. This has to be a result of our close ties with Egypt's military but this is very concerning! Reporting from Cairo The Arab League decided Saturday to support a no-fly zone in Libya, paving the way for Western countries to decide whether to move forward with the plan. The decision, announced on Egyptian state television, ends weeks of debate among Arab nations, overcoming widespread resistance to the idea of Western intervention in an Arab state.

Egyptian state television said the Arab League also decided to open channels of communication with a Libyan rebel council based in the eastern city of Benghazi and to formally recognize the council as the representative of the Libyan people. This is big and I am afraid I see a war in another Muslim country but what are we to do? UPDATE 1-Arab League calls on UN to impose Libya no-fly zone

The African Union Peace and Security Council (PSC) on Friday expressed "deep concern" at the events in Libya as observers raised questions on the body's slow and reserved response to the crisis in the North African country. Libya: African Union Rejects 'Foreign Military Intervention'

The African Union says it wants to join efforts to stop the fighting in Libya, but the organization's Peace and Security Council rejects any kind of foreign military intervention. African Union seeks Libya talks

Obama: US is 'tightening the noose on Gadhafi'

The AU (African Union) was rebuked for its conservative statement on Libya as they should have been. Libya is a member and had a representative at the last meeting to see what to do about Libya. After what they have been doing to the people they should have been out immediately. The African Union despite the slaughter said they flatly deny any outside intervention so they better do something if they care about the Libyan citizens as they say they do.

I have been giving this a lot of thought! I remember originally with the ire of the West and their growing threats of forming a no fly zone that the Arab League and the African Union made the announcement that they did not want us to intervene and they were thinking about imposing a no fly zone on Libya themselves.

As this has been progressing and become more of a slaughter of any thought to be against the regime or complicit in the rebels cause disappeared or was mercilessly slaughtered with aircraft, tanks, bombs, and machine guns it became increasingly obvious that the rebels were on their own unless we came to the rescue. Despite the chest thumping and saber rattling we cannot and better not.

We are at war in 2 Muslim countries already. It will be easy for Gaddafi to paint it as another war against Islam and many in Libya and in the Middle East and Africa would join his call to action against us. It has become obvious that with many Muslim countries in Africa and the Middle East facing insurrection they are not going to come to the rescue of the Libyan people as they too are going to take a hard line if they have to. What happened in Egypt will very likely remain an anomaly. If I am wrong they better get going with that no fly zone and we can advise, give them intelligence, and supply them.

We can not militarily come to the rescue of every Nation where some of their population want freedom from the repression and dictatorship we once sanctioned as long as they did our bidding. I listened to one fighter last week hit it right when he said "we started it we will finish it" any outside intervention and we will side with Kaddafi to repel them. What to do? Someone better do something quick!

West splits as Gaddafi slaughters rebels, civilians, and Doctors

The military forces of Moammar Gadhafi on Friday pounded Ras Lanuf, the key oil port once in the hands of rebel forces, and its leadership confidently vowed the retake all territory from the opposition. That is putting it lightly, they slaughtered those people and bragged about it!

In Libya, tide seems to be turning in favor of Qaddafi's forces

First country recognizes rebels as Libya's true government as Gaddafi forces intensify onslaught on Libyan rebels

Qaddafi bombs tanker in first blow to Libya's oil infrastructure, Rebel leader calls for 'immediate action' on no-fly zone

France on Thursday became the first country to formally recognize Libya's opposition National Transitional Council as the legitimate government. Seems to me like we are going to start recognizing the opposition as the legal Government and then find it necessary to come to their aid with a no fly zone.
First country recognizes rebels as Libya's true government as Gadaffi's war planes move deeper into the country What do you think?

A team working for the BBC in Libya said it was arrested, tortured and subjected to a mock execution by security forces of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's regime. BBC crew beaten by regime henchmen

Britain and Germany want EU emergency summit to call for Libyan leader to step down, as pressure grows over no-fly zone UK pushes EU to demand that Gaddafi quit

Qaddafi bombs tanker in first blow to Libya's oil infrastructure

The head of the interim government in eastern Libya pleaded Wednesday for the international community to move quickly to impose a no-fly zone over Libya, declaring that any delay would result in more casualties. "It has to be immediate action" I agree but it would be another war in a Muslim country regardless of how good our intention is. A no fly zone is war then we would have to go after resources on the ground. Rebel leader calls for 'immediate action' on no-fly zone I'd say we are at about the end of that regime but the people's suffering has just begun!

A no fly zone is not as easy as it sounds. All the surface to air missiles will have to be taken out and it is an act of war. It would need regional support in fact it should be done by the Arab League and the African Union who have expressed an interest. Regardless of the war monger outcry from Republicans in the United States we must keep hands off and boots of the ground. Our help should be logistic. If they can't do it, oh well!

No-Fly Zone Over Libya a 'No-Brainer'? Yes it is with Gaddafi using Russian built Hinds helicopter to machine gun and slaughter his so called people there are increasing calls for a no fly zone enforced by NATO or the US by Libyans rebels and war mongers such as McCain and Lieberman but that said a no fly zone can be tutored by NATO and the US but it is a must it must have an Arab and or African union face! Arab League Opposes Foreign Intervention in Libya Arabs may impose Libya no fly zone in cooperation with the African union

Someone in the inner circle must do the country a favor and kill the mad Gaddafi family! We are at a major and serious crossroads and must keep an African Libyan face on this fight and hopeful victory for the people whatever that entails! If Gaddafi is allowed to murder his own people who only want a voice in their future it will send the message around the entire world that all these revolts can be dealt with extreme violence in order to keep the status quo.

Bottom line on this issue, anything being done has got to be done by Libyan's, they must do the heavy lifting and if there is any outside help it must come from the Arab League and the African Union who we can reinforce and advise but that is it. This is the right and only way to go about it! Otherwise I do remember Russia and China saying it could be done and sanctioned if it was done By NATO so we will see!

Gaddafi threatens armed resistance against no-fly zone by a united Libya

Live feed of Libya revolt

Libya conflict in maps Wow!

Gaddafi threatens armed resistance against no-fly zone

Gaddafi and the Unbearable Lightness of Crisis

Misrata eyewitness: 'Waiting for the onslaught' The people are desperate for an imposed no fly zone because Gaddafi is slaughtering them from the air but he is spinning an imposed no fly zone as a sign that if we impose it, it is a sign that we are after their petrol. A no fly zone must be imposed by the Arab League and the African Union jointly.

The six U.S.-allied Gulf Arab nations have condemned killings by pro-government forces in Libya as "massacres." Oil-rich Gulf state condemn Libya killings They say the protection of the Libyan citizens is of the utmost importance and if it is they better get going with that no fly zone.

Three of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's private planes have taken off from a military airstrip near Tripoli. One of them has landed in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, carrying on board Abdelrahman al-Zawi, the Libyan deputy defense minister, who is also an army general in charge of logistics and supplies. There were reports that he was to meet with Amr Moussa, head of the Arab league. Gaddafi envoy lands in Cairo I think this is a good thing with our close ties with Egypt's military, with no ties with Libya Egypt can be the go between.

A no fly zone is not as easy as it sounds. All the surface to air missiles will have to be taken out and it is an act of war. It would need regional support in fact it should be done by the Arab League and the African Union who have expressed an interest. Regardless of the war monger outcry from Republicans in the United States we must keep hands off and boots of the ground. Our help should be logistic. If they can't do it, oh well!

We are at a major and serious crossroads and must keep an African Libyan face on this fight and hopeful victory for the people whatever that entails! If Gaddafi is allowed to murder his own people who only want a voice in their future it will send the message around the entire world that all these revolts can be dealt with extreme violence in order to keep the status quo.

Gaddafi has hinted that he is ready to quit Libya but wants immunity, rebels say good he must leave quickly

NATO mulls Libyan military action: Obama



Col Muammar Gaddafi has hinted that he is ready to quit Libya after 41 years in power, only if rebel interim council gives him a pile of cash and assures him immunity from criminal prosecution, a media report said. The dictator is said to have proposed a meeting of the Libyan Parliament to agree a transition period to pave the way for him to step down. His terms include immunity from criminal prosecution and a pile of cash

"If he leaves Libya immediately, during 72 hours, and stops the bombardment, we as Libyans will step back from pursuing him for crimes," Mustafa Abdel Jalil, an ex-justice minister, told Al-Jazeera Television by telephone about 8:30 a.m. ET.

I understand it is all called propaganda but I don't know, it was thrown out there but Gaddafi right now is maintaining his original stance that he will kill everyone any way he can and he is. I saw another interview last night and he was more bellicose and belligerent than ever, Here

Addressing a group of people from the town of Zentan, Gadhafi blamed outside elements from Afghanistan, Algeria, Egypt and the Palestinian territories for the rebellion.  The remarks were broadcast on state television Wednesday. He is right in the respect that he is paying those people thousands to kill Libyans. I saw rebel fighters interviewed later who said if we try to impose a no fly zone they will join Gaddafi to repel us. They acknowledge they need one but it must be Lybyan League and African Union.

Rebels hold positions in face of airstrikes

Qaddafi's Airstrikes Spur NATO Discussions of Libya No-Fly Zone

Obama raises pressure on Gaddafi as no-fly zone gains support
Obama Says Military Option Still Under Consideration for Libya

NATO Increases Airborne Surveillance of Libya, Envoy Says

Maybe he's finally feeling the pressure, now it is up to the rebel forces to relieve their pain! Both sides are voicing skepticism saying they know nothing about a deal for Kaddafi to step down. There is a lot of talk and no action. Bottom line the rebels are outgunned and it behooves them to make some kind of deal with Kaddafi. Give him immunity, give him some money, if it will stop the murders it is well worth it for the chance to start over.

Libyan civil war

Raw Video: Gadhafi Supporters Pour Into Streets fooled by Gadafhi's lies, read eyewitness reports Below       Live: Libya revolt

Four Libyan towns which forces loyal to Colonel Gaddafi claimed to have retaken remain under rebel control, eye witnesses say. Read eyewitness reports and decide for yourself! Some of those celebrating were on their cell phones or something talking to CNN and holding the  phone so we could hear the celebrating.

Kaddafi forces backed by warplanes push rebels back, ground forces loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Kaddafi, backed up by warplanes, pushed rebels away from the coastal town of Bin Jawwad on Sunday to stop their advance on Kadafi's hometown of Sirte.We saw that one plane was downed and hear the lies Gaddafi is telling his supporters but we and the rebels can not be swayed by the lies!

Libyan helicopter gunships have fired on rebels advancing along the coast towards the capital Tripoli.

LIBYA'S warring armies are set for their worst confrontation as anti-government forces prepare to push towards the capital, Tripoli.

Held By Rebels'Eight SAS soldiers have been detained by rebels in Libya, according to Sky News sources.

Defense secretary Liam Fox has confirmed that a British diplomatic team is in Libya talking to rebel forces. The eight have since been released and you have to wonder what else the defense secretary learned and said.


Analysis: Libya threat to Arab revolts If Gaddafi brutally snuffs out the rebels that will embolden all middle east and North African nations to do the same. With their own insurrection problems China and Russia would actually like that!

No-Fly Zone Over Libya a 'No-Brainer'? Yes it is with Gaddafi using Russian built Hinds helicopter to machine gun and slaughter his so called people there are increasing calls for a no fly zone enforced by NATO or the US by Libyans rebels and war mongers such as McCain and Lieberman but that said a no fly zone can be tutored by NATO and the US but it is a must it must have an Arab and or African union face!

Arab League Opposes Foreign Intervention in Libya Arabs but may impose Libya no fly zone in cooperation with the African union.Bottom line Libya's fate depends on loyalty of Gadhafi forces. I have to believe we are clandestinely working behind the scenes to turn those we can against Gaddafi. Those commanded by his son and the Tuareg's you have to believe will fight to the death and the rebels know they must succeed at all costs now.

Libya launches towards full blown civil war but thanks to the Gaddafi's I believe it is there and not just the gaddafi's but many of the destitute tribes and Tuareg nomads are pleased and now have a way to make big time money to slaughter Libyan's for Gaddafi.

I believe this is a civil war already but it definitely will be civil war unless someone kills the mad Gaddafi family! Not only that but the opposition should be making it a priority to take the military bases first and hopefully take all WMD away from anyone that may use them on them. That mustard gas as you know is a big concern of mine but those poor people have no idea what Gaddafi has and will use on them. I am more concerned than ever about Saif's threat 2 weeks ago that 200,000 could be killed.

In closing Russia and China came out against the Middle east and north African revolts because they have there own problems with them and we know how violently they deal with the problem. We are at a major and serious crossroads and must keep an African Libyan face on this fight and hopeful victory for the people whatever that entails! If Gaddafi is allowed to murder his own people who only want a voice in their future it will send the message around the entire world that all these revolts can be dealt with extreme violence in order to keep the status quo.

A warning to would-be interventionists in Libya

American Military Strategy in Libya

Fresh protests hit Libyan capital after Friday prayers and are confronted by Gaddafi supporters

Anything being done has got to be done by Libyan's, they must do the heavy lifting and if there is any outside help it must come from the Arab League and the African Union who we can reinforce and advise but that is it. This is the right way to go about it!

Libya's tribes rise up against Gadhafi as soon after the Libyan rebellion escalated, a senior member of the nation's powerful Warfallah tribe announced it would no longer support Moammar Gadhafi, saying that "he is no longer a brother."

nomadic Tuareg mercenaries from Mali, Niger, and Algeria join Gaddafi lured by huge salaries

At least 30 civilians killed after Gaddafi loyalists try to retake rebel-held town of Az Zawiyah, witnesses say. At least 30 civilians have been killed after security forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi, Libyan leader, attempted to retake the rebel-held territory They are not Gaddafi loyalists they are mercenary killers given $10,000 and $1,000 a day to kill Libyans. Both sides claim victory but it looks like the rebels took the oil port and despite the Barbary shown by Gaddafi, his sons, and their Tuareg mercenaries, rebels say they can win if someone air drop them much needed food and weapons.

Arab League Opposes Foreign Intervention in Libya Arabs may impose Libya no fly zone in cooperation with the African union. Well, then get going!

Of course Russia and China are against a no fly zone but if it is imposed by Arab and African countries that would satisfy the third principle, that China would “heed and respect the opinions and positions of Arab countries and African countries, You can forget about the first 2 principles as Gaddafi will not use diplomacy or peaceful means. Instead he promises rivers of blood. China Signals Potential Opposition to No-Fly Zone Over Libya

US officials "are taking prudent steps to prepare for potential humanitarian contingencies," Rice told NBC television's "Today Show" program. with an estimated 200,000 refugees already overwhelming the Tunisian border humanitarian needs are right now and I would hope the assets we have sent would get to work taking care of them immediately and keep boots off the ground or it will back fire on us.

I am suspect about what role an amphibious assault ship would play in that. We must get medical supplies, food, and necessities to refugees and revolutionaries immediately and keep our military out of it or this will be turned on us. Do that then sit and watch what the revolutionaries do and keep an eye on the Gaddafi's. I just do not see any type of military action working in our favor. Help the people as they need, Communicate with them but leave the rest up to the Arab League and African Union and wait watch and listen!

No global warming? 2010 will be the hottest year on record! Can anyone say water wars?

NASA: First half of 2010 breaks the thermometer — despite “recent recent minimum of solar irradiance” 

It still seems likely that 2010 will be the hottest year on record, ... Also, on Thursday, Sudan recorded its hottest temperature in its history when the ... July 10, 2010 at 6:52 pm. Sunspots activity is at a record low – and has .... Six months later they set the all time rainfall record there. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Chad, Niger, Pakistan, and Myanmar have all set new records for their hottest temperatures of all time over the past six weeks.

The Asian portion of Russia recorded its highest temperate in history yesterday, when the mercury hit 42.3°C (108.1°F) near the Amur River border with China. The previous record was 41.7°C (107.1°F) at nearby Aksha on July 21, 2004. (The record for European Russia is 43.8°C–110.8°F–set on August 6, 1940, at Alexandrov Gaj near the border with Kazakhstan.) Also, on Thursday, Sudan recorded its hottest temperature in its history when the mercury rose to 49.6°C (121.3°F) at Dongola. The previous record was 49.5°C (121.1°F) set in July 1987 in Aba Hamed.

We’ve now had eight countries in Asia and Africa, plus the Asian portion of Russia, that have beaten their all-time hottest temperature record during the past two months. This includes Asia’s hottest temperature of all-time, the astonishing 53.5°C (128.3°F) mark set on May 26 in Pakistan…. This week’s heat wave in Africa and the Middle East is partially a consequence of the fact that Earth has now seen three straight months with its warmest temperatures on record, according to NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center.

The first six months of this year have been the hottest in recorded history, weather experts have said. Heat wave across Europe! The figures have been released after a heat wave in the UK and soaring temperatures have put large parts of Europe, from Italy to Russia, on alert.The scientists said that while rising mercury has been typical across the globe in recent months, the most prominent high temperatures have been seen in Peru, the central and eastern parts of the US and western Asia.

The report was published as the US Senate prepares to debate a climate and clean energy bill later this month. Climate change is not some abstract phenomenon that will affect us sometime in the distant future as many want you to think. "It is happening now and its impacts are being felt across the country in the form of record-shattering heat waves, flooding rains, persistent droughts and other extreme weather events.

"They are threatening human health, destroying our natural heritage, jeopardizing our agriculture industry and putting our economy and national security at risk." 2010 Temperatures: First Six Months Of This Year Hottest On Record
