1. Wow, the rebels are not going to compromise????
Such a unique situation! :sarcasm:

I understand that in 1776, the rebels wouldn't meet with King George to hammer out differences. :)

11. yes, let's do- Stick to FACTS
and attempt to leave our prejudice and suspicions based on 'looking at how few women are protesting in the rebels cities' out of it.

That's a reasonable, fair and Democratic suggestion.

4. that seems to be YOUR view of the attitude, based on your
biased perspective.

When you have some news or actual facts- I'd be interested in reading them.

Propaganda is not news or fact.

12. I never supporter either the Gaddafi killing rebels or rebels killing pro-Gaddafi people

I guess one MUST want to kill someone???

14. who said this?
" "Allahu Akbar!! No talking, just kill the socialists." That seems to be the attitude"

wasn't that you? That isn't promoting something that you- NOT any credible source representing the "rebels" has said?

You are projecting your own onto the people you claim to not be "against". While you continue to post pro-Gaddafi information, and promote your 'theory' of who the 'rebels' are.

Not exactly the neutral, dis-interested source you'd like us to believe imo.

15. The anti-Gaddafi opposition has been the "religious faction" very opposed to Gaddafi's pan-African
socialistic policies. This has been well documented.

5. The only 'attitude' that reflects is yours, IMO.
The last thing a rebellion that may be in a turnaround phase is for the leaders to go to a peace conference... talk about pulling the rug out from the rebels who've risked their lives, and lost hundreds if not thousands of comrades, for their cause.

6. Please do a little research on who the "rebels" are and compare the society in Tripoli
versus Benghazi.

Please stop with the condescending attitude. The idea that rebels don't show up at a third party conference (whose members are opposed to the vital help that the rebels are getting from the West) does not warrant your reference that the plan is to "kill socialists"

Even a fact or two in your posts would be lonely, but welcome.

20. And since somebody told you DU'ers are all socialists, and you believe we're child-like,
you thought you'd see if pushing that little button would work.

26. DU NOT socialist, Gaddafi NOT socialist, but rebels ANTI-SOCIALIST

and have violently opposed Gaddafi for being socialistic and a phony Islamic heretic.

Gaddafi proclaimed a "jamahiriya"—a neologism that means "mass-state" or "government by the masses" as his model for Libya, but most western observers describe Libya as a kind of "socialist-Islamic" state.

10. Best part... "the official, who declined to be identified"
When Gaddafi lets the reporters in Libya report without interference, then we'll see if there's any truth on his side. Until then, anti-revolutionary "news" is 100% propaganda.

That says all we need to know, really. Anything other discussion is a diversion from that.

13. The Tripoli authorities would be wise to launch a "peace offensive."
If it appears to the world that the prolonging of war is due to the opposition, then they will garner more neutrality and wariness about the opposition.

32. The "rebel" have rejected mediation proposals from the very beginning
and chose to engage in massive armed attack on many cities.

All the charges of "brutality" against the pro-Gaddafi forces are matched by similar reports
of atrocities by the rebels in their assaults.

28. African Union calls for Libya poll
The African Union has called for a transition period in Libya that would lead to democratic elections.

The statement is a rare rebuke from African leaders for Colonel Muammar Gaddafi.

A Libyan government delegation is meeting in Ethiopia with five African heads of state who plan to develop a road map to encourage political reform in the North African country.

It could not immediately be confirmed if Libyan rebels were also attending.

African Union (AU) commission chairman Jean Ping said in an opening speech that the AU favours an inclusive transitional period that would lead to democratic elections.

31. Just watch how the Western powers DISMISS OR IGNORE this. They don't want a vote in Libya

It is so much easier to just use the tool of propaganda to prove how umpopular Gaddafi is.
