  • Libyan troops defy Gadhafi, side with protesters

    This is so cool.

    Troops hand out weapons to demonstrators. NBC's Engel reports from eastern Libya.

    Yeah, this is going to end well.

      I would think. With the military and population rising up.

        Who says a massive bloodbath has to end badly?
        A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

          Let's hope it doesn't end in an Albanian scenario.

              Since historically these things always turn out great!

              Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
              The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.

                Wait. Now that everyone is armed doesn't that mean the violence will stop?

                  It won't be untill gun ownership goes up to 0.9 per citizen that Lybia will be as free and peacefull as America.

                    Can we help? An arms shipment or two to stop the violence seems like the decent thing to do.

                      Well, one way or another, Ghaddafy (or however it's spelled) won't be ruling Libya anymore. Either they'll kill him/remove him from power, or he'll keep cracking down until there's no Libya left to rule.

                          Gadhafi's been a dictator for 40 years. Libya has put up with him for 10 more years than Egypt had their dictator.

                            This must be burning the Brit's ass.

                            Let a mass murdering terrorist out of jail to secure an oil deal with Gaddafi only to have him run out of the country. What bad luck.

                              And what about Berlusconi who told the police that his young 'protégé' (arrested for theft) was Ghadaffi's daughter and should be released immediately? I fear Italy will be next
