The neighborhoods in Libya are preparing for a ground invasion and to confront directly the invaders with a plan that one imagines would not be unfamiliar to a General Giap of Vietnam or a Chinese General Lin Peio, being a massive people's defense. It has been organized with a house-by-house, street-by-street defense plan for every neighborhood and will include all available weaponry.
Tripoli, Libya At ten a.m. Tripoli time on 6/28/11 the Libyan Ministry of Health made available to this observer its compilation entitled “Current Statistics Of Civilian Victims Of Nato Bombardments On Libya, (3/19/11-6/27/11).
In summary, the MOH compilation documents that during the first 100 days of NATO targeting of civilians, 6121 were killed or injured. The statistical breakdown is as follows: 3093 Men were injured and 668 were killed. Women killed number 260 and 1318 injured. Children killed number 141 and 641 injured.
Tripoli’s 3,200 neighborhoods, independently of the Libyan Armed Forces, are intensively preparing for the possibility that NATO forces or those they are seen as increasingly arming and directing, might invade the cosmopolitan greater Tripoli area during the coming weeks or months.
They appear to this observer to be very well informed about the motives of NATO and those countries that are intensively targeting their leader and their officials without regard to civilians being killed. It’s about oil and reshaping Africa and the Middle East.
Those who begin their duty work one eight-hour shift. Women tend to work during the day when kids are in school but I have seen many women also on the night shift. Most men have regular jobs and proudly explain than they volunteer one work shift daily for their country. They appear to be admired by their neighbors.

I dont blame the people at all. If other countries were invading my homeland, I would fight back with everything I had at my disposal, win or lose, at least I would go down fighting for my country and my sovereignty.
We need to get out of Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, and Pakistan. Let them deal with their own countries the way they want to deal with them. We have enough problems at home that needs taken care of......

Well from what I have heard from different sources, NATO troops are killing civilians also and that is the reason we went there, because Ghadaffi was killing civilians. Dont get me wrong, I am not a supporter of this madman, I cant stand him. I just cant and never did understand why we constantly have to be the Worlds Police. Hell, we are broke, but still spending billions on all these wars. We need to take care of us first.

This whole invasion is because yet another country wanted to sell its own oil in the currency of their choice. Anytime ANY country tries to change the currency away from the american dollar they are attacked. So I would not say its pointless, all they are doing is drawing out the inevitable (the dollar crashing totalty). TPTB really got themselves into a mess from a currency system built on credit. How does this usually end for most? Bankrupt! So the point is if the dollar fails, the us can no longer borrow this invisible money stream that they always have, and then, and only then will TSHTF. All out WW4! So to TPTB, no, its not pointlessedit on 2-7-2011 by AllUrChips because: spelling

So then why were France and the UK the first one to get involved, with the US then much further behind?
