In the first video released today on YouTube (but presumably recorded at least a week ago), one robot-like woman condemns the international community and media conspiracy and lauds her hero, Moammar Gaddafi. In the second video, we see the liberators reacting to the fall of the dictator.

NATO's strategy on Libya is wandering a bit. To be fair, you might expect this in any group of 28 countries. But NATO isn't just any group: it is a military alliance. As such, there needs to be very clear direction from the top about how to complete the mission. Right now, it's not even totally clear what the mission is.

In the absence of such direction, we're happy to provide our own strategic advice to NATO's top brass.

Your mission is to protect Libyan civilians. The quickest, cheapest, easiest way to do that and reduce the chance of this conflict dragging out into a prolonged civil war is to kill, er, arrest Moammar Gaddafi.

It doesn't necessarily have to be NATO troops that do it. NATO is not the United Nations. Pretty much any country in the world now has authorization to "protect Libyan civilians". Send in an African Union force -- all of them, if need be. Or get the Chinese to send in a brigade or two. They have as much reason as any country to ensure oil supplies don't get stopped up by Gaddafi's intransigence.

Gaddafi is the problem. Get rid...More >>

It’s official. If you had Muammar al-Gadhafi in your “biggest pussy in the known universe” office pool, you need to go collect your winnings.

Sorry, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Better luck next year.

As the world continues to digest reports that two Libyan air force pilots, allegedly ordered to bomb protesters, have defected to Malta it seems that Gadhafi has an even more grotesque joke to play on the civilized world. According to reports trickling out of Libya via news outlets like Al-Jazeera, Gadhafi may actually have pilots in his air force obliging enough to pull the trigger.

Of course, Al-Jazeera seems to hold questionable faith in these reports, putting quotation marks around the word “bomb”.

Gadhafi may not have even stopped there. Reports are also surfacing of Libyan troops opening fire on protesters with artillery.

With all of the means used to brutally suppress political dissent in countries like Iran and China, it seemingly took a butcher like Muammar al-Gadhafi to set the bar just a little bit higher.
