TUNIS, March 19 (Reuters) - Libyan state television reported on Saturday the "crusader enemy", a reference to Western forces, bombarded civilian areas of several cities, including the capital Tripoli, Muammar Gaddafi's hometown Sirte and the rebel stronghold of Benghazi.
"The crusader enemy is continuing its air and missile bombardment tonight of several civilian targets in Zuwarah, Tripoli, Misrata, Sirte and Benghazi," state television said.

It said a hospital in the suburbs of Tripoli had been hit

Ghadaffi is now Live on State TV

1. Libyan TV = lies, like Fox

[TheLastMohican]

3. whatever floats your boat

you are quite ok with the fact that US missiles again kill some innocent brown people right?

[joshcryer]

4. US, French, UK missles were killing innocent brown people before. Gaddafi was using the ones we sold

[tabatha]

9. It is NOT my boat.

It is the Libyan's boat. They wanted this. They begged for it. Day after day, there were tweets about it. They kept on asking "where is the international community?" I am sick and tired of false accusations.

[ixion]

10. false accusations? We're bombing LIbya right now

that you have it in your mind that no civilians are being killed is your own private Island of Denial.

[tabatha]

12. We will rescue Libyans from a tyrant

who has and would have killed far more people. Seems that you do not mind more people being killed by a tyrant?

[TheLastMohican]

16. 1 000 000 Iraqis killed

since 2003, because Bush believed that he has a "mission from God".
Do we really need more of this crap only with democratic president in the White House?

[tabatha]

18. Difference.

This is not Bush.

The Libyans asked for the no-fly zone; the Iraqis did not.

The Libyans have said they will die for freedom. They do not want to die to remain under a dictator.

It is that simple.

[ixion]

19. This IS nation building, Bush or no...

and as such is subject to the same principles. I opposed it under Bush, and I oppose it under Obama. It has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with rescuing people from a tyrant, and everything to do with Libya's oil.

[tabatha]

21. I believe it has NOTHING to do with oil.

It started with "showing no mercy".

Anyway, I am not going to comment on this subject again - because both sides believe what they will and no words said will change the other's opinion.

My hope is a free, democratic Libya, that I would love to visit if that happens - especially if they play music like this.

Yeah! - Tinariwen is visiting the states in July.

22. This is bullshit

Who said that? Do these "Lybians" even represent the public opinion? Are they really Lybians or just mercenaries for hire from neighboring Egypt?

IT IS NOT SIMPLE AND NEVER WAS when the military-industrial complex and big oil run the whole freaking show in US.

[TheLastMohican]

14. You also believe

that Obama deserves that Nobel peace prize.
If he was a good man, he would return that honour back, but....

11. US-NATO war crimes won't be concealed.

The the apologists for US aggression against foreign countries should all be held to account.

[totodeinhere]

20. This action is legal and in accordance with international law.

It was authorized by the UNSC and as such it is not a war crime. Quite the contrary, this intervention is intended to stop war crimes committed by Gaddafi against his own people.

2. I wonder for how many months the SAS were marking targets ? nt

[joshcryer]

5. Reports are many of the SAM sites were moved into residential areas.

I only hope the collateral damage is low.

Probably lower than people intentionally targeting urban areas (Gaddafi bombed towns outright).

[Bosonic]

7. Is the NFZ still trivial?

NFZ is trivial to implement...

8. When the US missiles fall on Lybia

All moral high grounds or excuses of Obama Administration are lost.

15. Why is Libyan TV still on the air????

Bomb the trnasmitters now.

17. So much for "freedom" talk
