Oh dear... yes I imagine he will be... 'annoyed'. Way to go NATO, just what we needed, another escalation.

Why don't they man up and kill him?

[Dr Zoidberg]

Why don't they man up and kill him?

A Nato air strike in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, has killed the son of the Libyan leader, Colonel Gaddafi, a government spokesman has said.

Colonel Gaddafi himself was in the large residential villa which was hit by the strike, the spokesman added, but he was unharmed.

They're obviously trying, as the Colonel was in the same compound at the time of the strike.

Why don't they man up and kill him?

That's what I want to know.

[Lord Zhang Ku]

That's what I want to know.

My best guess is an unclear sucession in the case that it does happen, or that no one knows who will take control. Also, it's possible it would cause anarchy in the streets in the areas Gaddafi currently controls.

Why don't they man up and kill him?

Because so far every bombing run hasn't been effective in doing so. Remember that expeditions to Libya are limited to aerial sorties.

That and we aren't really aiming for him. Trust me, if we wanted him dead he would have been killed very very soon after NATO interevened.

Killing a national leader isn't really wise is it? I'm sure we're aiming close to him to force him to come out and surrender.

Well, i think they are trying to do it for the reason that if we do, maybe his government and mercenary armys will fall apart because he is dead.

You don't get it. If you kill Gaddafi then the remaining supporters leave and the war is over.

Who cares about genocide. certainly not NATO when you have some rebels to do your bidding and then blame in the future if they don't surrender to your demands.

You're wrong, you haven't killed him (funny how you associate yourself with people who care about you) because he has been hiding and moving alot. The same with Saddam. They will kill him but it takes time

First off, how do you exactly know the rebels will be commiting genocide here? Please tell me. Also we really are not trying to kill him. We know where his bunkers are. We know where his command centers are. We are bombing them.

Besides if we wanted him dead, then why are we bothering to look for a country that will take him in if he surrenders?

Can they manage to find the father now ? Or maybe bomb the funeral, It is barbarian thing to do but Kaddhafi and Co attacked opposition funerals ... so count it has pay back.

ETA:

Nato should have bombed the hell out of the complex early on, half arsed militarism is stupid just kill Kaddahfi so we get over this.

[Claudius Gothicus]

Wait... is this like that one time that Reagan bombed the out of Tripoli and somehow ''killed'' the ''never revealed daughter'' of Gaddafi?

Because if it's... I don't really give a damn

[Grof]

LSE hardest hit.

They killed the sons children, young kids. Citizens of Libya who did nothing to anybody, so where is NATO protection for these children, citizens of Libya?
ing pathetic, great defenders of people and citizens killing children all around the world, 9 boys in Afghanistan last month and now these 3 kids.

... er they where trying to kill Gaddhafi, sorry for the Children but this SOB ought to be crucified and bombs are the only tool available.

pathetic. So you would agree with as many children being killed as long as they get Ghadafi?
The people running these NATO organizations and the big 3 countries in this war should be crucified and bombed.

It is not like they carpet bombed Tripoli you know. They bombed his house, if he his moronic enough to leave the kids at home, then He can blame himself.

Bomb Brussels ... UKIP will be happy

ETA:

I have sympathy for the little kids, but the Saif Islam got it coming.

....sir, as much as I respect your seemingly pacifistic nature, at least as far as you can emit it before you backhand yourself with it, Gaddafi is a monster, and most of his children are as well. those children who died shouldn't of died, and I wish they hadn't. However, saying one thing, and then preaching the opposite against your enemies is hypocritcal. How long have you been paying attention to the whole mess? about a month? I've been watching reports every day since this began. Gadaffi is one of the men that I have no doubts about. He should die. Painfully. He is a fascist in almost every sense, has murdered his citizens, and killed their children. He has defaced their graves and unburied the fallen for his propaganda. Do you know what it is like to watch a woman on television who was raped get pulled away from reporters when she tries to tell them? Have you seen the anguish in the eyes of a father as his son is being operated on due to being in a house that was bombed on live television? I bet you haven't. So stop it with your supposedly humanitarian pleas. You'll find most of us don't agree with your falstities.

Lol I bet that "truthful and reliable" Western media will claim that all the children and civilians killed by NATO bombings were breaking "no-fly zone".

heh, you say you dont believe the rebel reports as they bring no proof, yet you accept this without question. Odd.

What? That NATO bombings kill civilians? Even Western media acknowledged that.
