I have a strong hunch we're nearing the end of this. Is it possible that all that gunfire in Tripoli this morning was an attack on his compound? I hope so. Certain things that were reported like revolutionaries having to retreat and get more ammo left me scratching my head. Don't quote me, just sharing.

I worked for a German who fought in the WWII Battle for Berlin. He said they would let the Soviets advance into the city, close off their escape routes and wipe them out. The Soviets suffered almost a Million casualties taking the city.

As long as Five bring the funk

And it don't stop

Buddy you're a young man
Hard man, shouting in the street
Gonna take on the world some day
You got blood on your face, big disgrace
Waving your banner all over the place

We will, we will rock you

SAS-backed Libyan diplomatic mission ends in humiliation
British special forces and intelligence agents leave Libya on HMS Cumberland after being released by anti-Gaddafi rebels

A British diplomatic effort to reach out to Libyan rebels has ended in humiliation as a team of British special forces and intelligence agents left Benghazi after being briefly detained.

The six SAS troops and two MI6 officers were seized by Libyan rebels in the eastern part of the country after arriving by helicopter four days ago. They left on HMS Cumberland, the frigate that had docked in Benghazi to evacuate British and other EU nationals as Libya lurched deeper into conflict. The diplomatic team's departure marked a perfunctory end to a bizarre and botched venture.

"I can confirm that a small British diplomatic team has been in Benghazi," said William Hague, the foreign secretary. "The team went to Libya to initiate contacts with the opposition. They experienced difficulties, which have now been satisfactorily resolved. They have now left Libya."

...

A senior member of Benghazi's revolutionary council said: "They were carrying espionage equipment, reconnaissance equipment, multiple passports and weapons. This is no way to conduct yourself during an uprising.

...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/mar/06/sas-diplomatic-mission-in-libya?utm_source=guardian+UK&utm_medium=twitter

This story is very strange. The Benghazi revolutionary council added that only *some* of them had British passports.

56. I understand they were there to offer to assist the revolution, but their approach

was clearly seen as being a little, um, undiplomatic... :blush:

Certainly, the first thing the UK Gov. should do is to recognise the Libyan National Council as being the legitimate Transitional Government of Libya, and renounce any formal legal recognition of Gadaffi's regime. I suspect this will happen very soon, maybe as soon as tomorrow.

60. Thanks for the link! Have you seen...

The FRONTLINE special "Ghosts of Rwanda"? I used this, and Philip Gourevitch's We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families, as part of a university discussion on the Rwandan Genocide. The full program (2 hours) is no longer available online, but the excerpts are very good, and worth the time.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/ghosts/video/

I have met and spoken with Carl Wilkens, the SDA missionary who stayed behind when the SDA's evacuated their missions in Rwanda. His story and reactions are informative, and stand in stark contrast to the actions of the Rwandan SDA pastor, Elizaphan Ntakirutimana, who was convicted of facilitating the genocide at the Mugonero mission complex.

They found documents about the attacks on the Alexandria Coptic Church. That incident wasn't what the world was led to believe.

[Raksha]

54. Do you mean the New Year's Eve attack on the Coptic Church?

I smelled a rat from the moment I first heard about it. I suspected there was more there than meets the eye, but of course there was no way to prove it. Make that past tense: It sounds like there is proof after all. That's great news...I feel very vindicated!

[Catherina]

57. Yes. The activists saw stuff two nights ago about that. Do u read Arabic?

If so, I have a link to some files you can get (unless it's been deactivated).

[Raksha]

61. Thanks, but I don't read Arabic so I'm going to have wait for the translation.

My hunch was based in part on what I know about the tradition of interfaith relations in Egypt. Alexandria especially has a long and proud history of being a spiritual melting pot, a tradition which goes back to Hellenistic times. As a matter of fact, my own spiritual beliefs are rooted in Alexandrian syncretism.

I also know that the Coptic Christians were there before the Arabs and before Islam, and consider themselves "the descendants of the Pharaohs" even though they are a minority today. Later this historical and cultural understanding was confirmed by the chant in Tahrir Square: "Muslim or Christian, we are all Egyptian" and the images of the Muslims and Coptic Christians protecting each other at prayer.

A large-scale massacre of Copts in a church on New Year's Eve just didn't compute. It just seemed so calculated and deliberate. In other words, it had the bloody fingerprints of of a false flag operation on it right from the beginning.

30. France welcomes the establishment of the Libyan national Council

Presentation national Libyan (6 March 2011) the and supports the principles that animate him and the objectives it assigns to.
It welcomes the willingness of unit who presided over the establishment of the national Council and encourages leaders and movements that make it up to pursue their action with this in mind.
The France condemns the unacceptable use of force against civilians and its sympathy to the relatives of the victims of the ongoing clashes in Libya. She paid tribute to the courage of the populations subjected to violence, Zawyia and other Libyan locations.
It calls for full respect of the resolution the Security Council of the 1970s and a quick political solution that would allow the cessation of violence and the establishment of a democratic Government that meets the aspirations of the Libyan people.

31. Though we're seeing positive change, I had a flashback to this...

EVE OF DESTRUCTION (P. F. Sloan)

The eastern world;
It is explodin'.
Violence flarin';
Bullets loadin'.
You're old enough to kill,
But not for votin'.
You don't believe in war,
But what's that gun you're totin'?
And even the Jordan River
Has bodies floatin',

But ya tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend,
Ah, you don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction

And don't you understand
What I'm tryin' to say
And can't you feel the fears
That I'm feelin' today?
If the button is pushed,
There's no runnin' away.
There'll be no one to save
With the world in a grave.
Take a look around you, boy.
It's bound to scare you, boy

And ya tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend,
Ah, you don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction

But think of all the hate
There is in red China.
Then take a look around
To Selma, Alabama.
You may leave here
For four days in space,
But when you return
It's the same old place.
The poundin' of the drums,
The pride and disgrace.
You can bury your dead,
But don't leave a trace.
Hate your next door neighbor,
But don't forget to say grace

And tell me
Over and over and over and over again, my friend,
You don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction.
Ah, no, no, you don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction.
