#1 ...ITNC special envoy Mahmoud Jabril was expected to be invited into Number 10...

Remember Mahmoud? Yeah, he was the one sayin' the CIA provided Belgian nurses with the AIDS virus to kill Libyan babies. Yep...this is gonna end well.

The following passage from the article is a pretty amusing bunch of claims about what will replace Gaddafi.

In a statement entitled 'A Vision of a Democratic Libya', the INC said it was committed - following the defeat of the 'illegal' Gaddafi regime - to a 'civil society that recognises intellectual and political pluralism and allows for the peaceful transition of power through legal institutions and ballot boxes; in accordance with a national constitution crafted by the people and endorsed in a referendum'.

Every adult citizen would have the right to vote in 'free and fair parliamentary and presidential elections as well as the right to run for office', it said.

It said the state would 'respect the sanctity of religious doctrine and condemn intolerance, extremism and violence' and 'denounce violence, terrorism, intolerance and cultural isolation'.

In truth, my feeling is that Gaddafi's tribe is about to be erased from Libya, much as the Taliban attempted to wipe out the Hazara from Afghanistan. This could be the first time NATO has aided and abetted a large scale massacre.

#3 Given the Allah-centric tendencies of the Eastern part of Libya, and the sorry record of American-backed governments in Iraq and Afghanistan, the few Libyan Christians left in the country would be wise to leave for the shores of an EU country rather than wait around to be killed by the rebels.
