Gaddafi says withdrawal from Tripoli compound "tactical"

Source: Reeuters:

(Reuters) - Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi said on Wednesday that his withdrawal from his Bab al-Aziziya headquarters was a "tactical move" after the compound was leveled by 64 NATO air strikes.

Speaking in an address on a local Tripoli radio station, which was reported by Al-Orouba TV, broadcasting in conjunction with Al-Rai TV, Gaddafi also vowed "martyrdom" or victory in his fight against NATO.

Or, as it's described, an "advance to the rear"

Exact numbers aside.

My mom was in the blitz. She said it was hard to keep an accurate count of the bombs when they got too close. It's distracting.

But not all the (almost impossible to count) 'strikes' came from NATO. Many came from shoulder-propelled missiles used by FFs.

That's why we spend billions upon billions on planes, bombs and missiles.

...as NATO does when they tally each and every single strike and report it.

If the United States was executing protesters wholesale, the President claimed that he would begin purging several cities, street by street, ally by ally, and he sent the Coast Guard to go kill those people (and of course this is all assuming the military follows his orders before that point and doesn't arrest him for treason). And assuming that the United Nations agreed that the President of the United States was acting outside of the responsibility to protect, and voted unanimously to defend the people of the United States...

Then yes, a tactical strike on the White House would be an appropriate course of action.

False equivalence fail.

Do you have reason to believe that they're indicating something else? Because it's pretty obvious to anyone with a bit of common sense.

BTW, I'm not hiding under an anonymous nickname, nor have I just signed up here after being recently tombstoned.

That's who I am.

Then you were informed things that the moderators apparently felt were violations of the rules which I won't repeat (I think it falls under violent overthrow rule).

Appreciated.

Didn't have time to read it.

Nap time. :)

"modicum" of credit for the success of the rebels.
