Gadhafi’s Youngest Son Killed In NATO Missile Strike
Son killed but Gadhafi escapes
TRIPOLI, Libya — A NATO missile struck a house in Tripoli where Moammar Gadhafi and his wife were staying on Saturday, missing the Libyan leader but killing his youngest son and three grandchildren, a government spokesman said.
Seif al-Arab Gadhafi was the sixth son of Gadhafi and brother of the better known Seif al-Islam Gadhafi. The younger Gadhafi had spent much of his time in Germany in recent years. Moammar Gadhafi and his wife were in the Tripoli house of his 29-year-old son, Seif al-Arab Gadhafi, when it was hit by at least one bomb dropped from a NATO warplane, according to Libyan spokesman Moussa Ibrahim. “The leader himself is in good health,” Ibrahim said. “He was not harmed. The wife is also in good health.” Tuesday, British Defense Minister Liam Fox and U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates told reporters at the Pentagon that that NATO planes were not targeting Gadhafi specifically but would continue to attack his command centers. soure – Washington Post

Rules For Radicals. In case you missed it, the Obama Administration no longer follows the Constitution.

Why Farrakhan Supports Gadhafi $o $trongly
about 1 year ago - 2 comments
Farrakhan’s placing of Gadhafi among the pantheon of historical African liberation figures was not simply a case of racial idolatry and hero worship. It was also a case of hard headed business and political pragmatism. Farrakhan didn’t try to hide it in his speech. He boasted that Gadhafi had shelled out $3 million to the Nation of Islam — then under the tutelage of Elijah Muhammad — in 1971 to buy and renovate a Greek Orthodox Church that became the Chicago based national headquarters of the organization.

Horseshit. NOT targeting Gadhafi specifically? They were targeting his grandkids in a residential area? I’m lovin’ this “no fly zone” enforcement idea. Gadhafi will probably get retribution a thousand-fold. Nice work, Gates.

What other leaders in the world do we not like. Shall we kill their grandchildren also? Is the American armed forces proud of this? Is this what we call a just war? Stop it now!

Of course we are targeting gadhafi, as we should! They just don’t want the public to get their panties in a bunch over ethics and all that crap. I say fire more missiles! Kill all his evil kids! Then kill him! This man needs to leave. The sooner the better. The world is a bunch of wusses these days. All of these so called rules for warfare. Just kill him and end it. We certainly have tha capabilities to. We have the strongest military in the world! This should not be a 6 week conflict. We are just wasting more lives! It’s almost embarrassing at this point! Come on America!

NATO is “Killing the kids to protect kids”. If they continue with this tempo, there will be no kids to protect.!
How is NATO making difference which kids should be on not to be killed ?
Imagine psychopath taking the gun in your neighborhood and killing three kids because he is “He is angry with something” and other people even government figures supporting his views. NO this is no way forward – Bomber pilot or the one who issued such an gruesome order should be shown in public and charged for crimes in same way as psychopath with the gun. Kids should play whatever they surname or religion is – they have nothing to do with anyone’s political views.
This kids are dead now and they will never play again – Do you have children ?
