Libya’s Col. Muammar Gaddafi hasn’t been seen or heard from publicly since a NATO air strike 11 days ago that reportedly killed his son, Saif al-Arab. Gaddafi was apparently in the home when at least two NATO bombs hit. He also did not attend his son’s funeral.
Gaddafi may very well be keeping a low profile in order to stay alive. A report from the Sydney Morning Herald says his supporters on the streets of Tripoli, however, are starting to wonder about his whereabouts and health.
Hard to believe, but Battleland began covering this terrible story 25 years ago today:
The quiet coalition has come together to reverse the decline of the opposition rebel forces in Syria, according to this nice front-pager in Wednesday’s Washington Post. Much like in the case of Libya, the Obama Administration is hanging back and letting the local “market” determine his military response. He simply refuses to take the strategic lead, which is frustrating to many and yet decidedly clever on his part.
