#3 Those flaming rocks coming straight down thru' the cloud cover over Tripoli were showing very recognizable silhouettes. And whoever was flying it was burning alive and headed for a flaming grease-spot.

I dont think they were French.

#5 That footage of the rebel jet flaming out was over Benghazi yesterday. This article is supposedly about a plane downed over Tripoli. As far as I've seen, they haven't been hitting Tripoli with anything other than stand-off weapons - the French strikes were against the Benghazi region last night, and maybe along the coast highway?

#6 We'll know whether this is true soon enough if the French begin to negotiate their surrender.

#7 By most accounts appears a Rebel MIG-23 mistakenly shot down by the Rebels.
