Libyan military pilots were executed today for refusing to fly
ak2webd3‎ RT @nkkanada: Confirmed: 6 #Libyan military pilots were executed today for refusing to fly and bomb the protesters in #Tripoli . Emtigga base . #Libya

skywalkerxp‎ I'm too angry . The situation in #Libya is making me lose all my faith in humanity.

‎
SaloumehZ‎ RT @SultanAlQassemi Al Jazeera: Libya's resigned ambassador to the Arab League says that the Chief of the #Libya Army is under house arrest.

lewisshepherd‎ The #Libya #Feb17 question: will Qadhafi fold? He was once described by Sudan President Gaafar Nimeiri as “a split personality—both evil.”

bookofsand‎ What Qaddafi's done to the ppl of #libya is outrageous. Let's not multiply the outrage. US military involvement=terrible idea


jj_lee‎ #Libya - Can't get over the idea people want the US to invade Libyan air space. Gulf of Sidra. US was the villain then.

‎
DonJigga‎ RT @Jnoubiyeh: The oppressed of #Libya are giving a lesson to the world. Dignity, unity and fearlessness are stronger than the power of a dictator.

10. Maybe they thought they could refuse the order and live
The defectors may have heard about the executions and learned from the other's heroic deed.

7. Do you think Gaddafi's female ninja bodyguards will let him be taken easily?
Edited on Tue Feb-22-11 12:24 AM by QC
I think it will be like something out of Bond, with Muammar posing in his fetching Jackie Kennedy pillbox hat and flowing silken caftan while the lady ninjas fly through the air around him.

12. Better yet: Organized in-military rebellion
The lower ranks gotta outnumber the higher ups.

14. The propaganda about Libya is so transparent.
Edited on Tue Feb-22-11 01:48 AM by David__77
They say the government's "grip is slipping away," but that no one is venturing outside for fear of being shot.
