| NATO airstrikes hit Gaddafi's compound again |
| 2011-05-12 |
| Government spokesman Mussa Ibrahim said the strikes hit near a spot where dozens of Libyans come every night, some with families, to shout slogans in support of Gaddafi. He denied the compound contained any military facilities. Why would dozens of Libyans need to show up there every night to shout slogans for The Duck of Death? "The NATO alliance is completely bereft of morality," Ibrahim said. "No one has the right to say to the people of Libya move away from the cities so we can bombard you." Fine. Don't then. "This is our country. We are proud of it. We will continue to be a fighting nation," he told reporters. Not after The Duck is gone. An official at NATO headquarters said the target it hit overnight was a large command and control bunker complex. Why haven't they hammered all these into oblivion by now? "These locations were known to be command and control facilities engaged in coordinating attacks against civilian populations in Libya," said the official. Just bomb the tanks and heavy weapons. The Libyans will take care of the rest. |

| #6 I believe NATA may have failed to mention (so I'll do it here)....COL Gaddafi is not a target. |

| #3 We repeat Gaddafi is not a target. Of course not. Now the communication equipment and node he's standing next to, however, is. |
