America's secret plan to arm Libya's rebels

Alhamdulilah he's safe. My family are the same, when i ask them how they are, they're saying the same thing 'everything is fine' 'there's nothing going on here'. They had the internet last week so it was easier for me to contact family but it's been cut off this week :( the mobiles are abit better then last week though.

Yes, UAE2010, he is and thanks for asking. I spoke with him yesterday for the first time in about a week. I should also like to point out that phones are being monitored as well. So when you see people on the street and they are asked about the situation, you get the same thing I do on the phone: |"We're all good, everythings normal, and don't listen to the tv -- it's all propaganda."

Norak- Is your husband still in Libya? I hope your family are all safe. I agree with everything you said. 42 years is more then enough, they don't want the goverment anymore, no more Gaddafi ( and family), no more Ibrahim Sensussi the killer, no more Mussa Kussa the murderer, no more Ahmed Gaddaf al dem, no more Huda ben amer, they're all murderers and the media are still treating them like human beings. It's fustrating to watch your people getting killed and the media interviewing serial murderers.

While I would normally not be too enthused about this idea, I have seen videos of people who have been literally blown apart by bullets and ammo intended to stop tanks and aircraft. There was a boy shown on tv with a morter through his leg. Families are being hunted down from videos that show up on tv and taken away, the hurt and dying are being taken from the hospitals and disposed of to hide them from the media, and I could go on and on and on. I think the most important thing people need to understand about this uprising is that Gadaffi does not foregive or forget. The Libyan people know that if this does not succeed this time, they will be hunted down eventually be dead anyway. Almost each and every family there has a story to tell relating to missing family members. It is pass the point of no return. Even if they waited out (after 40 years) for Gadaffi to die, what did they have to look forward to -- Saif or Saadi Gaddafi. Libya has a population of only 6 millon or so. If you were to go to Libya today and before this uprising, you would find roads full of pot holes and no lighting (except some main roads), electricity that constantly goes off and on, schools without running water and broken windows, etc. Where has all the billions of dollars their petrol has brought because it sure has not been spent on the country. For instance, I had to go for a chest xray at the hospital. I was taken to a room that had a "mini bus" looking contraption that I stepped into like you would a bus, and put my chin o a bar in front of the "camera". The size of my chest x-ray was a 4" x 6" photo. This was last year. I'm 50 years old and have never seen anything like it in my life. The potential for this uprising to turn into another Rewanda is already on its way. Being an American, I don't want America or Europe any other country to get into another war. No enconomy can really handle it. However, we can't allow people to keep saying we will not allow another Rawanda or halocast when there is another one sitting right in front of us. Sorry, I will get off my pulpit and won't say another word as I don't want to start a controversy which escalates to getting deleted. I just want to put a perspective for those people who may not be familiar with what the Libyan are up against because, believe me, they do. Even with just a no fly zone, it will still be a long and ****** battle. I'll leave it with a link to a recently aired video on this subject on Al Jazeera. http://www.opednews.com/articles/Gaddafi-s-Libya-A-State-o-by-Mac-McKinney-110306-958.html

I think the British Secret Service are already on the ground in Benghazi advising the rebels.

And do you all think the UK won't follow in the US's footsteps?

hhhmmmm...I heard that there had been some help from this neck of the woods........

I wonder how the accused Lockerbie bomber will play into all this

Well they have armed the taliban, IRA, Saddam and Iran - why do you think they wouldn't arm Libya (and Gaddafi for that matter)?

highly classified ??? lol Absolutely haha
