    Libya: Gadhafi loyalists, revolutionaries clash

    BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) — Fighters loyal to Libya's late leader Moammar Gadhafi are battling revolutionary forces in the former-regime stronghold of Bani Walid.

    Resident Moussa al-Warfali says the clashes began Monday when Gadhafi loyalists angry over the arrest of one of their men attacked pro-revolution fighters.

    He says the fighting is centered around the revolutionary brigade's base in Bani Walid, which is some 90 miles (140 kilometers) southeast of the capital Tripoli.

    There was no immediate word on casualties.

    Dozens of fighters from Tripoli were traveling to Bani Walid to assist the revolutionary fighters.

    The town was one of the last pro-Gadhafi bastions to fall in Libya's eight-month civil war.

      AP propagandistas still uses wrong wording.
      "Ghadafi loyalists" = WRONG!
      "remains of legal armed forces/freedom fighters = correct!

      "revolutionary forces" = WRONG (name given by western media, there was no "revolution" in Libya, just coupd d' etat, organized and supported by France, GB and USA!)
      "armed gangs and islamist fundamentalists" = correct!

      "civil war" - WRONG!
      "NATO agression" - correst!

        You're 100% right. I think the media created that mess in the first place.

      Billions of dollars wasted to create a wasteland that is being fought between primitive tribes and al-Qaeda. Libya under Gaddafi, the last decade, had prospered despite his antics.
      But who's gonna foot the bill on this operation? Libyans or jobless Americans struggling to make it through? Our tax dollars which could be spent on education, health care, pensions, investing in small businesses or social security was wasted.

      Correction: "Gadhafi loyalists are battling those, who defected to the Al-Qaida camp"

      Liberty from an oppressive dictator... I'm sure everything will be better once one side kills off the other side. NATO knows what they are doing, they have handled this kind of thing before so they are perfect at it now.

        What if there are 3 or more sides?

      Before everyone gripes about billions of dollars wasted, you should CONSIDER that these "loyalists" aren't loyal to Gadaffi....

      GADAFFI IS DEAD for cripe's sakes!!!

      THEY ARE "LOYALISTS" ALRIGHT.....LOYAL to RADICAL ISLAM!!!

      And in typical radical Islam fashion, the RADICAL ISLAM LOYALISTS are trying to fill the power vacuum and INSTALL RADICAL ISLAM in the region.

      AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN....

      After we destabilized Libya, and plunged them into civil war, we had ALREADY made the resolve to get rid of the radical government there....WHY do you think the western forces went in there in the first place????

      We're doing the SAME THING in ALL radical Islam sympathizing countries right now....causing unrest, dissent, plunging YOU into civil war, then WE will replace the leadership with someone WE see fit, and BOGART the radicals back into their caves....

      As for the collateral damage and misery it will cause their innocent citizens, well we're sorry 'bout that.....BUT if you hadn't ALLOWED the rise of radical Islam, we wouldn't even need to be there in the first place. Maybe if the moderate Islamic people in those radical sympathizing nations cleaned up THEIR OWN BACKYARD before they point fingers at the west, we wouldn't have HAd this little problem in the first place!!!

      The SPINELESS, RADICAL SYMPATHIZING ISLAM has made it impossible for the west to tell a moderate from a radical....so now that's OUR fault???

      How about showing the west some SINCERITY in your fight against radical Islam, starting with SHUTTING DOWN the madrasas that teach your children to hate the Jew, the Christian, the Moderate, the west, the European...and ANYONE ELSE who refuses to embrace radical Islam??? Sound like a plan???

      UNTIL THEN....you moderates are just as responsible for terrorism as the radicals.
      APATHY and SYMPATHY for them is JUST AS BAD......and YOU KNOW IT.
      • rkymtnhigher 4 mths ago
        well put my man,, #$%$ islam as a whole
      • Ted Stosterone 4 mths ago
        Rkymtnhigher.....wait just a minute...
        Please don't put words in my mouth....

        I'm not saying "F Islam"...let's get that straight right now:

        What I AM saying, is that ISLAM is responsible for ISLAM'S destiny, and if they continue to ALLOW the radicals to call the shots and drag them all back into biblical-era barbarism, then IT IS ALL ON THEM when Islam DOES become a despised word on the tongues of people all over the globe....

        I'm a Jew.
        If MY synagogue started radical talk about killing innocent people, etc. THEN I'D BE THE FIRST ONE TO DEFY THEM AT ALL COSTS.
        NOT ON MY WATCH, PAL.....!!!

        If my Rabbi DID NOT have the cajones to publicly DENOUNCE and OSTRACIZE the radicals, then I'd ABANDON HIM and I'd consider him JUST AS IRRESPONSIBLE as the radicals he should've spoke out against in the first place.......NOT ON MY WATCH, PAL!!!

        RADICAL ISLAM is being ALLOWED to exist.
        RADICAL ISLAM is being coddled by MODERATE ISLAM.

        THAT......is what I was saying......NOT "F Islam"

        ...just wanted to get that cleared up :)
      • Wizzard S 4 mths ago
        Your theory is totally out of your - bottom! "All radical Islam sympathizing countries..." ?!?...You call Libya under Ghaddafi "radical Islam sympathizing country???...Are you kidding?!? Ghaddafi had CLEANED Libya of radical Islam!!! They were fighting in Iraq and Afhanistan. They were nowhere to be found in Libya! Let me educate your brainwashed head:
        We actually have HELPED islamists to come to power in all secular countries like Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, and now working on Sirya! Western governments DISLIKE strong, secular leaders and they dislike even more a prosperous countries, like Libya was under Ghaddafi's rule! We don't like them, because we can not MANIPULATE them, and STEAL their natural resources! That's why we, under the mask of quasi "freedom and democracy", organized, financed and military backed, overthrow of those leaders, by traitors and people hungry for power that we pay and bring to the power. We are ready to "dance with the (jihadist) devil" in order to bring instability to those countries, destroy them economically, bring some puppets to power, so we can please IMF, multinational corporations and contractors that needs to "rebuild" what we have destroyed!!! Our "political experts" are just so blind to see that we are feeding a monster that will turn against their "helpers" in the future in a bloody way!

      Obama again fooled US sheeple and broke the constitution: 12000 soldiers deployed on Libyan ground in Marsa al-Brega.
