I suppose we are to assume that you're making the case that this didn't happen or something?



To quote from that article:

Granted, it's a bit mushy were "active involvement" ends and where "more of a supporting role" starts. It can mean pretty much anything.

However, the US-led "Operation Odyssey Dawn" has officially ended on March 31, when operational command was fully transferred from the U.S. Africa Command to NATO. As far as I know, the major burden for military operations in Libya is still carried by France and the UK anyway.

InTrade has dropped though with rumors being somewhat quelled, now at 31% to leave before the end of August.

And back at 48.5% again!

Those erratic numbers are completely meaningless. Tomorrow it probably will be at 90%, the day after that at 10%, then back at 60%...

It's certainly possible that current events in Gadaffi's bunker resemble a real-life enactment of Downfall. Tongue

Gadaffi's rants are probably closer to the actual translation now:

Apparently, he never was. And the ICC screwed up too.

CNN reports that the rebels have captured, um, Gadaffi's medical files.

Neither the rebels nor Gaddhafi are good. The imperialists in the west are also bad.

And you as well.

Forgive me for not caring that he didn't get a trial.

Howso? I don't see anything wrong with that way of thinking. Brits certainly have good reasons to be happy about Gaddafi being gone.

It's kind of silly to say something like that given that whoever killed him was certainly not thinking of Lockerbie.

True, Gadaffi probably did much worse things than Lockerbie.
