FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

Rebel forces in Libya have retaken the pivotal town of Zawiya, which is only 30 miles from Tripoli. The rebels now dominate the routes leading to the Libyan capital from three sides. According to CBS News, Zawiya is particularly important because it controls supply routes for Tripoli and is also the location of a major oil refinery.
Alex Crawford of Sky TV told CBS that the rebels’ success is likely to mark “a real turning point” in Libya’s civil war and that “this is the strongest position they’ve been in since the start of the uprising in February.”
The rebels are increasingly hopeful of victory and have said they would like to finish things off by the end of Ramadan, which is less than two weeks away.
The Associated Press, however, is more cautious, noting that Gadhafi’s forces fought tenaciously to hold Zawiya and that “Friday’s onslaught by regime forces also signaled that an opposition push toward Tripoli could be arduous and bloody.”

no fly zone liars of nato ….who can beleave anything they have to say about anything
NATO is a bunch of under trained, underfunded, mercenary child murderers. The “big bad usa”, 10 years later can’t eliminate a small group of taliban. But for some reason they think they can beat gudhaffi? Hahhahahahaha. This guy hasn’t even fought back yet. Do they forget he is the leader of the revolution that took over lybia by force? Not a “peacefull protest” like pussy americans he actually fought and won their country back. He will desroy NATO and as soon as he does, China and Russia are going to SPANK britain and america at the same time.
And who watches CBS news anyways. The AP, (which lies constantly) won’t even colaberate the story so you know it was made up to tickle someones pickle.
Praying everyday that his assasins get to the bankers and oblahblah before they make a deal wth him. Peace be with you and good luck to you Gudhaffi.
Hint: a simple kitchen microwave can crash helicopters. Good luck to you.
