Haha, no, it was a general, thread related question, and a rhetorical one at that.

Fair enough. Thought sobriety and over-imbibing of fruit n'veg was doing things to my brain for a second there!

Not confirmed anywhere else. The rebels definitely seem to have control of Tripoli, though, he's certainly done for. Sky News is pretty amazing right now from streets.

Good harvest this season. Nice.

I wonder what the international reaction will be if it's true.

Yes, hasty tweeting from Mr Al Abdeh there. Apparently rebels are now claiming to control all of Tripoli apart from Gaddafi's compound.

The cost of U.S. military intervention in Libya has cost American taxpayers an estimated $896 million through July 31, the Pentagon said today.

The price tag includes the amounts for daily military operations, munitions used in the operation and humanitarian assistance for the Libyan people.

The U.S. has also promised $25 million in non-lethal aid to the Libyan Transitional National Council, half of which the Defense Department has already on MRE’s (military lingo for Meals, Ready to Eat).

Calm down, it was sarcasm. I agree with you.
Although I can't say I'm unhappy to see Qaddafi FINALLY out of the picture, but, who is?

The news now is incredible. Live feed showing the rebels climbing around on the cunt's golden fist statue. History as you watch.

haha, sarcasm doesn't translate well on the internet.
I can't seem to give a damn about Qadaffy one way or the other.
I will miss his impeccable sense of style, though.
