World War III has begun

[Ozz]

Sirt itself is impregnable, held not by tanks or armor, but by the heart: Gadhafi's tribe is standing by him, and most of the city is serving in the militia.

That means the US needs to start bombing TV and radio transmitters.

Yeah I think it's funny that the right wing extremists think they can dictate to the Democrats. The American people are so furious at you right now that they are ready to lynch you, quite frankly, if the elections don't go their way this time. But yeah the Dems will win so big next year, in everything but the Senate where they will probably only gain a seat or so. You guys are being so incredibly stupid that it's just not funny. You guys have serious reality issues.

I only wish that you idiots would actually try to force your way on us with guns, so that ... well try and you'll find out. I just hope you do, cause I'm tired of dealing with messes you make for the rest of us. I really wish you'd go join the rebellion in Benghazi... and why not say hi to the residents of Sirt while you are at it?

By the way, by my observations Saif Gadhafi is an LSI. I'm done talking you, everything I say to you is and will always be a waste of time. You take every decent argument and discard it because it doesn't fit your vision of the way the world "should" be. You care nothing for induction and this is your defining flaw. Go back to your cave, neanderthal.

The right wing extremists? Do we have a bunch of them here or something?

I forgot they could just jam the TV and radio transmission towers instead. You are right: Bombing would have gone beyond the mandate given by the UN and killed innocent people. The goal through is to get rid of the mass media so US/UN forces can more effectively demoralize the militia. See Psychological Operations.

This militia is going to be a problem. US/UN can't bomb them. US/UN/Rebels can't just charge into the city. It's going to be tricky.

i don't feel like sifting through the news atm so, uh is there actually something going on in the world right now that's gonna become WW3? or is this tcaud babble i should ignore?

OK Gadhafi totally sucks at obtaining any sort of international sympathy (the African Union has indicted him for war crimes, I'm hearing) so World War III this ain't. What it does seem to be is a limited uprising by Benghazi. I say limited in that the people there are more interested in fighting regime troops in their own city than in other cities -- the rebel cavalry appears to consist of little more than a thousand or so fighters with machine guns and a few rockets and RPGs... it's so bad that if the rebels took on al Qaeda in Iraq, al Qaeda would win by a big margin.

It reminds of an episode of Sonic the Hedgehog, with every major advance by the rebellion centering around sabotage made possible only by Sonic's (Obama's) extraordinary speed (airforce) -- the rest are nothing more than ineffectual hangers-on who are bait for Robotnik's (Gadhafi's) steel troopers (mercs).

The U.S. won't do any such thing. If it does happen, Obama's presidency is doomed.
