2. The "rebels" used the same tactics in Libya.

Such is the way of civil wars.

3. The Rebels did?

No, Gaddafi did. He cut water and electricity to Misrata, Tripoli (after it fell), Sirte and Bani Walid.

The Rebels had ceasefire after ceasefire to allow civilians to leave from Sirte and Bani Walid.

There was not ONE civilian casualty in Bani Walid because civilians were allowed to leave - and they were given water and gas on their way out by the Rebels.


You know shit!

4. Dream on.

The rebels did the same things they accussed MG of doing. They completely destroyed Sirte and Bani Walid. You don't have to take my word for it, there is vidoe of the aftermath.

Another daydream of yours, "not one civilian casualty". Obviously they are all terrorist or they would have left. Am I talking to rumsfeld, condi, dick or goerge?

6. It is not dreaming. It happens to be the truth.

I will find the link.

The rebels had multiple talks with the leaders of those cities - thanks to the elders in Bani Walid, the civilians were allowed to leave.

And yes, Sirte is damaged - I have seen the videos and pictures. I followed the Libyan conflict daily on two blogs.

And that was because Gadaffi troops would not give up.

Every other city/town in Libya besides Sirte and Bani Walid, was taken over peacefully by the Rebels after consultation with the elders.

It was only because Gaddafi family members were in Sirte and Bani Walid that they did not go the same way.

And you changed the topic - you stated that the rebels cut off water to towns. They did not.

The water supply is within the cities - the rebels were outside, and had no access to the source.

Meanwhile, Gaddafi troops twice sabotaged the man-mad-river source to cut off water to Tripoli.

I repeat. You know shit.

5. Arabs to meet on Syria failure to honour peace plan--AFP

AFP – 19 hrs ago


The Arab League on Sunday called an emergency meeting on Syria's failure to implement its peace plan, as forces reportedly killed at least 19 demonstrators after prayers on one of Islam's holiest days.

The announcement that Arab foreign ministers would hold the gathering came on the fourth straight day of deadly violence since Syria agreed to the League's peace blueprint aimed at ending eight months of bloodshed.

The Arab League said a meeting was called for next Saturday because of "the continuation of violence and because the Syrian government did not implement its commitments in the Arab plan to resolve the Syrian crisis."

Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem al-Thani, chair of an Arab panel on the crisis, has said "if Syria does not respect its commitments, the ministerial committee will meet again and take the necessary decisions."
