NATO kills Gaddafi's son and kids?

TRIPOLI, Libya — Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi escaped a NATO missile strike in Tripoli, but his youngest son and three grandchildren under the age of 12 were killed, a government spokesman said.

The strike, which came hours after Gadhafi called for a cease-fire and negotiations in what rebels called a publicity stunt, marked an escalation of international efforts to prevent the Libyan regime from regaining momentum.

( Darko Bandic / Associated Press ) - In this photo taken on a government organized tour, government officials and members of the media inspect ruins of a house at the site of a NATO missile attack in Tripoli, Libya, Saturday, April 30, 2011. Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi survived a NATO missile strike Saturday that killed his youngest son, Saif al-Arab Gadhafi and three grandchildren and wounded friends and relatives, Libya’s spokesman said.
.Rebels honked horns and chanted “Allahu Akbar” or “God is great” while speeding through the western city of Misrata, which Gadhafi’s forces have besieged and subjected to random shelling for two months, killing hundreds. Fireworks were set off in front of the central Hikma hospital, causing a brief panic that the light would draw fire from Gadhafi’s forces.

I am not sure, but it seems that Bush would let up on Gaddhafi after seeing the grief, loss of treasure and blood, it caused to eliminate Saddam Hussein in Iraq.   After getting rid of Sadat, Mubarek, Gaddhafi, Hussein, and shortly Assad;  AlQaeda, MB, Hamas and Hezbollah and their terrorist tools incited by the radical Imams will have free reign in North Africa and the Fertile Crescent.

Yeah, only it didn't work.

So Bush created a team of hard dudes that ran down and killed Hussein's sons.  And then they took pictures.

No order specifically was made on Hussein (Saddam...sorry for the confusion, not Barry Husein) and if he did, he'd have been impeached.  
Not my main point, Barry can play this game but he'd better well take responsibility for it and we can't count on the main stream media calling him on the carpet for his Nation Building

Plenty of room in the sand box for our military but why are we doing this?

TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Shattered glass litters the carpet at the Libyan Down's Syndrome Society, and dust covers pictures of grinning children that adorn the hallway, thrown into darkness by a NATO strike early on Saturday.

It was unclear what the target of the strike was, though Libyan officials said it was Muammar Gaddafi himself, who was giving a live television address at the time.

"They maybe wanted to hit the television. This is a non-military, non-governmental building," said Mohammed al-Mehdi, head of the civil societies council, which licenses and oversees civil groups in Libya.

The missile completely destroyed an adjoining office in the compound that houses the government's commission for children.

The force of the blast blew in windows and doors in the parent-funded school for children with Down's Syndrome and officials said it damaged an orphanage on the floor above.

"I felt sad really. I kept thinking, what are we going to do with these children?" said Ismail Seddigh, who set up the school 17 years ago after his own daughter was born with Down's.

"This is not the place we left on Thursday afternoon."

There were no children at the school when the missiles hit early on Saturday morning, since Friday begins the weekend in Libya. Children had been due to come in on Saturday morning.

A mound of rubble was all that remained of one wing of the main building that adjoined the school, though an antenna of some kind protruded from the ruins.

Both Mehdi and Seddigh said they had assumed that the antenna on the building was there to strengthen mobile phone signals and were not aware of any other use.

In the rubble of the main building, a shredding machine packed with sliced up documents lay on its side. A fax and phone were nearby and shelves of files could be seen.

Pan Am Lockerbie bomber returns home to a hero's welcome in Libya:

On the flight from Scotland, Mr. Megrahi was accompanied by Saif al-Islam el-Qaddafi, son of the Libyan leader, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, stamping an official imprimatur on his release and reinforcing the official Libyan view that Mr. Megrahi was a scapegoat used by the West to reinforce its depiction of Libya as a pariah state. –– There was a festive atmosphere with some wearing T-shirts with al-Megrahi's picture and waving Libyan and miniature blue-and-white Scottish flags. Libyan songs blared in the background.

"I think it's appalling, disgusting and so sickening I can hardly find words to describe it," said Susan Cohen, of Cape May Court House, N.J., whose 20-year-old daughter, Theodora, died in the attack. "This isn't about compassionate release. This is part of give-Gadhafi-what-he-wants-so-we-can-have-the-oil."


So, Hell burns a little hotter tonight.  Now, for Mr. Megrahi.
