The rise and fall of Colonel Muamar Gadaffi

U.S. Tomahawk Cruise Missiles Hit Targets in Libya

U.S. military officials have confirmed the first American tomahawk cruise missiles have been fired at targets inside Libya from ships in the Mediterranean Sea.

The move is the first direct U.S. involvement in the international operation mobilizing to stop Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's attacks on opposition strongholds and enforce a U.N.-backed no-fly zone.

President Obama told members of Congress Saturday that he had not yet authorized the use of U.S. planes, but the military has a variety of resources stationed off the Libyan coast and at bases in nearby European countries prepared to support the effort.

The Pentagon has has two guided-missile destroyers in the Mediterranean, the USS Barry and USS Stout, two amphibious warships, the USS Kearsarge and USS Ponce, and a command-and-control ship, the USS Mount Whitney. The submarine USS Providence was also in the Mediterranean.

Hahaha spineless AU ama wapi unaowazungumzia? Wakiwaponda western countries basi bajeti zao zinakosa hela, wakimponda Gaddafi basi naye anakata misaada bora wakae kimya na kujidai hakuna linaloendelea. Tanzania tulijidai mbele mbele kupinga na kupeleka jeshi Comoro kwa sababu ni wachovu haya ya Libya/Misri/Tunisia hatujatoa tamko.

Njaa kitu kibaya sana

Hawa West anayewaweza kwa sasa ni Mungu pekee.Awapelekee Tsunami,Vimbunga na matetemeko ili wawache kuleta fujo kwa wenzao.
Sasa hivi Tv ya Libya inasema ndege za US zimeangusha mabomu kwa raia.Kwa kuanzia inaweza kuwa ni propaganda ya Ghadhafi lakini hayo ndiyo yatakuwa ndio matukio ya kila siku.Tume zitakazoundwa kuchunguza hazitotoa majibu na kazi itaendelea mpaka wamtie mkononi Ghadhafi na hatimaye wamnyonge bila kosa.
Tumeshuhudia harusi na matanga mengi tu Afghanistan,Pakistan na Iraq kuangushiwa mabomu,tume zikaundwa na vitu hivyo hivyo kujirudia.
Namshauri Ghadhafi awe mcha Mungu zaidi,atoke hadharani na watu wake amshtakie Mungu,wakati huo huo kila silaha alilyonayo asiweke kwenye ghala,atupe upande wa adui.Mambo yanaweza kuwa U-turn.

mtaishia kukoment kiushabiki bila kuangalia kiundani hili suala la libya, kila mtu anasema gaddafi ni dikteta lakini tunasahau kuwa tunatumia tafsiri na criteria za ulaya kujua yupi ni dikteta na yupi ni mwana demokrasia, katika hili tumeridhia fikra zetu kutekwa na wazungu na kuona kwamba wao ni exceptional kila watakachosema kinakuwa sahihi, mimi bado siamini kama ni kweli wananchi wengi wa libya wanamchukia gaddafi kama ambavyo vyombo vya habari vya kimagharibi vimekuwa vikiripoti na bila kusahau wamagharibi wana chuki na gaddafi, gaddafi ataondoka madarakani coz hakuumbwa kutawala milele ila kuna mambo mengi ya msingi ya kimaendeleo aliyowafanyia mwanachi mmoja mmoja ndani ya libya ambayo hata huyo ufaransa mwenye kimbele mbele kwenda kushambulia libya hajawahi kuwafanyia wananchi wake.

Walibya wanataka demokrasi!
Haya ndio wanapelekewa kwenye sahani sasa.(silver plate). wakae mkao wa kuliwa....nimeghafilika...wakae mkao wa kula.

US hawana ndege kwenye anga ya Libya missiles zote zimetoka kwenye meli za US na UK.

By sunrise Surface to Air Missile nyingi kama sio zote za Libya zitakuwa zimeshaharibiwa.

Jamaa wamekuwa wastaarabu sana siku huizi, hawataki kutumia nguvu zao bila kupata ridhaa ya umoja wa mataifa, na support ya nchi jirani. Tukitaka waingie Cote d'ivoire, ni lazima AU ianze kwanza kumlaani Gbagbo na kuomba matumizi ya nguvu huko umoja wa mataifa. Kura ikishapigwa tu, basi kesho yake utawakuta jamaa wameshachukua Ikulu yote hapo Yamoussoukro na yule jamaa Gbagbo akiwa mfungwa namba moja. Tatizo la Afrika ni kuwa ni nchi gani itakuwa ya kwanza kumyooshea kidole Gbagbo? Kwa Libya, waarabu ndio waliochukua jukumu kwa vile akina Kikwete huku AU wasingefanya lolote .

Mkuu...Too late for him. He had a chance, lakini kwa kiburi chake ndio kimemponza. Like Saadam, Ghadafi's days are numbered. He'll go down the toilet.
