dat halve zachte gedoe werkt gewoon niet maar iedere keer proberen 'we' het weer
je kunt geen oorlog uitvechten zonder slachtoffers, dat moet je ook niet proberen
doe het goed of doe het niet want nu valt er een veelvoud aan slachtoffers als wanner je gewoon in het begin hard en hoog (Ghadaffi's hoofd) in had gezet en met alle mogelijke middelen naar Tripoli was opgetrokken om vervolgens direct weer op het schip naar huis te stappen ... puur en alleen de regime change en verder niets
nu verscheurt het land iedere dag met elke dode aan welke kant dan ook steeds een stukje verder en je gaat op een punt uitkomen waar je beter een demarcatielijn en 2 nieuwe staten op de kaart kunt tekenen want die gaan never nooit meer vredig naast elkaar wonen in 1 land

quote:Gadaffi-rebels in talks with islamist-government factions.TRIPOLI: After six months battling a rebellion that his family portrayed as an Islamist conspiracy, Muammar Gaddafi's son and one-time heir apparent has said he is reversing course to forge a behind-the-scenes alliance with radical Islamist elements among the Libyan rebels to drive out their more liberal-minded confederates.
''The liberals will escape or be killed,'' Saif al-Islam Gaddafi vowed in an hour-long interview.
''We will do it together,'' he added, wearing a newly grown beard and fingering Islamic prayer beads.
''Libya will look like Saudi Arabia, like Iran. So what?''
The leading Islamist whom Gaddafi identified as his main counterpart in the talks, Ali Sallabi, acknowledged their conversations but dismissed any suggestion of an alliance. He said the Libyan Islamists supported the rebel leaders' calls for a pluralistic democracy without the Gaddafis.
But the interview nonetheless offered a rare glimpse into the defiant, some say delusional, mentality of the Gaddafi family at a time when they have all but completely retreated from public view under the threat of a NATO bombing campaign and a six-month-old rebellion.
On one level, Gaddafi's avowed embrace of the Islamists represents a sharp personal reversal for a man who had long styled himself as a cosmopolitan, Anglophile advocate of Western-style liberal democracy. He continues to refer to the Islamists as ''terrorists'' and ''bloody men'' and says: ''We don't trust them but we have to deal with them.''
But it could also represent a twist on an old theme, a new version of the Gaddafi argument that by assisting the rebels the Western intervention could usher in a radical Islamist takeover. In a further taunt to the West, he suggested that the Gaddafis would help the Islamists stamp out the liberals.
''I know they are terrorists. They are bloody. They are not nice. But you have to accept them.''
Gaddafi insisted that he and the Islamists would announce a joint communique within days, from both Tripoli and the rebels' provisional capital of Benghazi. ''We will have peace during Ramadan,'' he said.
Less than a week after the mysterious killing of the rebels' top military commander, General Abdel Fattah Younis, by rebel gunmen, Gaddafi also seemed to be trying to capitalise on potential divisions within their ranks.
There have been suggestions that the general was killed by an Islamist faction, perhaps in retaliation for his actions in his former role as Muammar Gaddafi's interior minister, charged with the detention and torture of radical Islamists.
''They decided to get rid of those people - the ex-military people like Abdel Fattah and the liberals - to take control of the whole operation,'' Gaddafi said. ''In other words, to take off the mask.''
He said that the rebel-held eastern city of Darna, long known as a hotbed of Islamist activism, had already come to resemble the lawless regions of Pakistan. ''It is Waziristan on the Mediterranean,'' he said, adding that he had reached an agreement with local Islamists to allow them to make it ''an Islamic zone, like Mecca''.
Rebel leaders and Western governments have long acknowledged the presence of Islamists among the rebel fighters, including at least one who was imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay.
But Western governments have so far accepted the Libyan Islamists' pledges of support for a pluralistic democracy after the ousting of Muammar Gaddafi, concluding that their agenda was purely domestic and posed no broader threat.
As for the future of an Islamist Libya, Gaddafi was vague on the details. He said he had agreed to Islamist demands to prohibit any constitution other than the Koran, though Sallabi, the Islamist leader, said he has written publicly in support of a civil constitution.
And Gaddafi refused to discuss his own or his father's future role. That was a question for after negotiating a peace, he said. ''It is like you shoot first and ask questions later.''

http://english.ahram.org.(...)led-Gaddafi-son.aspxquote:Rebels say NATO raid killed Gaddafi son
A NATO raid killed Muammar Gaddafi's son Khamis and more than 30 other people, rebels said Friday, as Tripoli accused the alliance of targeting civilian sites and trying to create a humanitarian crisis.
Khamis Gaddafi, 28, was confirmed to be among the dead following a NATO air strike on a command centre in the western town of Zliten, a rebel spokesman told AFP, citing spies operating among Gaddafi's ranks.
"Overnight there was a aircraft attack by NATO on the Gaddafi operations room in Zliten and there are around 32 Gaddafi troops killed. One of them is Khamis," said Mohammed Zawawi, a spokesman for the United Revolutionary Forces.
Rebels said their own operations room in eastern Libya had also intercepted radio chatter indicating Gaddafi's son had been killed.
There was no independent verification of his death, which has been rumoured a number of times during Libya's five month-long civil war.
At the Naples headquarters of NATO's Libya operations, an official asked about the claim, said: "We're looking into it."
Khamis, who was trained at a Russian military academy, commands the eponymous and much-feared Khamis Brigade -- one of the Libyan regime's toughest fighting units.
The strike appears to have come just hours after Tripoli took journalists on an escorted tour of the centre of Zliten, an effort to rubbish rebel claims the town was under attack.
Fighters from the rebel enclave of Misrata, 60 kilometres (37 miles) to the east, announced this week they had made progress in Zliten, a strategic coastal town on the road to Tripoli. But authorities in Tripoli quickly denied that, saying they controlled the entire town.
On Thursday an AFP journalist saw the town centre was in the hands of regime forces, although intensive artillery fire was heard in the distance.
Residents said the frontline is located at a distance of 10 to 15 kilometres (six to nine miles) east of the town centre while rebel official said they control three eastern neighbourhoods.
State television reported meanwhile that NATO warplanes struck Tripoli early on Friday, as the Gaddafi regime accused rebels of sabotaging a key pipeline feeding the country's sole functioning refinery.
About 10 loud explosions rocked the Libyan capital around 1:30 am (2330 GMT), an AFP journalist said.
Shortly afterwards, Libyan television said "civilian and military sites" at the southeastern suburb of Khellat al-Ferjan had been targeted by "the colonialist aggressor."
Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Kaaim meanwhile said late Thursday that rebel forces had sabotaged a pipeline in the strategic Nefusa mountains, southeast of Tripoli.
"The rebels turned off a valve and poured cement over it," he said, adding that this would lead to a shortage of electricity in the capital as oil and gas were used at the Zawiyah refinery to generate power.
Kaaim said food and medicine supplies were spoiling in the capital due to long power cuts. Tripoli residents complained Thursday of extensive blackouts and an acute shortage of gas canisters.
NATO "wants to create a humanitarian crisis in Libya while the aim of its mission is to protect civilians," Kaaim said.
The Khadafi regime tried Thursday to split the fractious Libyan opposition by claiming an alliance with Islamists.
After months of branding the entire opposition as radical extremists, the veteran leader's most prominent son, Seif al-Islam Gaddafi, spoke of a pact with Ali Sallabi, a leading Islamic cleric in the rebel-held east. Sallabi told AFP no pact existed, but he acknowledged talks had taken place with Seif al-Islam.Libya's rebel-held east was in the grips of a fallout from the assassination of General Abdel Fatah Yunis.
A group of 28 tribes and civil actors met the insurgent government, pressing for a full and transparent investigation into Yunis's death.
The facts surrounding the general's death have been opaque, with senior members of the NTC giving incomplete and contradictory accounts of how he died, who killed him and the motive for the murder.
The rebels scored a minor victory Thursday, when a massive oil tanker -- the 182-metre (600-foot) long "Cartagena" -- steamed into port at the eastern rebel stronghold of Benghazi. A rebel soldier said the vessel had been intercepted two days earlier near Tripoli with the help of NATO.

However the main impediment to the fall of the town is the hatred of local tribes towards Misuratans. The proximity of the two towns belies a deep-rooted antipathy.
Many local families are the descendants of slaves captured by the pirates that operated from Misurata in the 19th century.
"I have no friends or acquaintances from Misurata, I know nobody from there," said Khalifa Misha, a schools inspector. "They have no right to come here. We will resist this conquest until the last drop of blood."

Maar dat zal niet voor iedereen gelden.
De rebellen hebben ook sympathisanten in Zlitan. Zolang een sterk legeronderdeel (van Khamis) de stad onder controle heeft, zullen die weinig zin hebben daar openlijk voor uit te komen.
