In Libya the rebels are tightening the noose around Colonel Gaddafi's last major stronghold, his hometown - Sirte. The fugitive leader's forces have been given an extended deadline to surrender - which expires next Saturday. But in a defiant audio message aired by Syrian TV, Gaddafi rallied his supporters, urging them to fight on against the rebels and NATO. The Alliance has vowed to continue its air strikes on loyalist forces, saying the UN mandate to protect civilians in Libya still stands. The coalition's also moving to release billions of dollars of Gaddafi's frozen assets, to fund the reconstruction of Libya. But political writer Jean Bricmont thinks the West is just trying to pull the strings of the country's future.

Why is Benny N so concerned with world affairs? "It" can't even make it out of "it's" single mother's welfare apartment.

The people of libya want to sell oil to europe and make there money more than anything else. Everything else is secondary. Anyhow RT is complete shit, it's seriously like talking advise from a 15 year on how to run your life. They have some key points, and then just blow everything out of proportion.
