    wow they already should gave them dammit , al gaddafi is a few days away from killing the whole country .. no offence but this is kinda late!

  • Abdo - 13 years ago

    All the Libyan people are asking for is badly needed weapons to defend themselves. We even rent them in order to guarantee that they will be returned and accounted for after we are free. This is to silence those who claim to be worried about the possibility of weapons falling in the wrong hands or that we don't know who are the freedom fighter are? Which is a ridiculous claim by the way. Just ask Giraldo Rivera and Bernard-Henri Lévy and others.

    I think that the voting results are stewkered and really do not mean anything

  • ammoura - 13 years ago

    Gahdaffi is not a matter of only Libyan, he is now a threat to the whole world.
    if this man would be on power again he'll try to revenge from all the nations which act against him including US, and all of Us remember what he had done in 1988 .

  • Mmohaymen - 13 years ago

    It will be good to have a strong relationship with the new libya because libyan ppl will get their freedom anyway

  • mohamad - 13 years ago

    yesssssssss

    this action will save libyan people

  • Omer - 13 years ago

    We are thankful for what the world has already done for the Libyan People. But No Fly Zone is not enough to protect our civilians as we can see on the ground. Gaddafi has big arsenal of weapons which he bought using Libyan people money to protect himself & his family & regime not Libyas.
    Gaddafi is still recruiting mercenaries uo to now. We have the spirit & the courage to fight on to free Libya from Gaddafi's occupation but that is not going to be enough to defend ourselves or win against Gaddafi's heavier arsenal of weapons & highly trained mercenaries. We definitely need more arms & possibly more training especially now that we have created a unified people's army for free Libya. We are ready to pay for it using the Frozen Libyan assets & money abroad. Just please don't delay as Gaddafi is still killing and maiming innocent civilians every day & he will not pay any attention to the human cost as long as he ends up controlling at the very least part of the country which will leave Libya broken & divided.

  • Abdulhallim - 13 years ago

    One thing you should know and 100/100 true that there is no QAEDA in Libya, There is no evidence what so ever about existence of Al Qaeda in Libya. In fact Qaddafi him self threatened to join with Al Qaeda from abroad to fight America and the West. Qaddafi is a ticking terror bomb.

  • YOUSEF LAMLUM - 13 years ago

    I prefer that solve libyan problem by no war no army and theres to much still to do but .leave it the last choice. MORE ARMY= MORE WAR =MORE INNOCINT VICITM

  • Free Libyan - 13 years ago

    What is happening in Libya is more disastrous than the media can transfer. Being Libyan, I was really sad when I saw my fellow citizens being killed, tortured, and raped. What is happening in Libya is not linked to Al-Qaeda. It was a peaceful protest, and because the regime had never thought of such thing, his reflex was extremely aggressive. Many doctors reported that in the first night of protests in Tripoli 60 citizens were killed. More over, injured patient were killed inside hospital, and then foot-dragged by mercenaries. So, please help us free our country

  • abdsalam - 13 years ago

    the international community made decision to protect the civilians in the first place ... and by arming the rebels ...they'll make that much more easier ...

  • JB - 13 years ago

    Stopping a loony dictator from killing his people is morally justifiable. Sending more arms into the situation seems like adding fuel to fire we are also trying to extinguish.

  • jabreal - 13 years ago

    please we are die every minute ,, why do not have any thing to do with gadafi army

    Gaddafi is still recruiting mercenaries as we speak.

  • Ivan Colon - 13 years ago

    Absolutely not! The US must not repeat the same mistake they did in Afghanistan during the 80s. I think doing the no-fly zone and helping the rebels from the outside to achieve their goals its enough. After all it is their civil war not ours.

  • Naluti - 13 years ago

    Please, soooooooooooooon, people are dieing every minute.

  • Rachida - 13 years ago

    Yes they should arm them and do it is as soon as possible - his forces are butchering people right now, and he is bringing new mercenaries in from Chad and other countries to kill more. I am furious and disgusted at those supposed 'liberals' in the West who are standing by Gaddafi rather than by people fighting and dying for their freedom. It seems that some on the Western left, like others on the Western right, likes to see Arabs subjugated so long as they agree with the leader's political claims. Gaddafi is a tyrant and a murderer; those who support him or claim that the freedom fighters are the extremists are no better than him.

  • Sean - 13 years ago

    Yess !!

  • Eman - 13 years ago

    Yes please we must stop this killer killing our families. Arm them as soon as possible Pleasssssssssssse!

  • Muftah Ajdabia - 13 years ago

    Its very clear sign that its peoples choice as you no longer see them burn US or UK flags in streets in Arab countries these days! also there is no harm in arming the pro democracy fighters, i can asure you jehadest and alqaida doesnt excist there yet as its clear fight under the media cameras and nowhere to hide!! but if intervention took place i can garantee it as the rebels arrangment wont work then! by the way its better for the whole world to get red of these dictators as if the assets spent to build now we will get out of the resetion! be safe

  • Ben Adam - 13 years ago

    Gadhafi's crashing the Nafusa mountain and western cities one by one using all whatever he have of weapon. USA still has no clue what to do and this can go for weeks till we get another Rawnda.
    Pres. Obama needs to do a choose asap. People are being killed every minute. The least we can do.

  • Mary - 13 years ago

    Yes Please arm the opposition they are in dire need of weapons to fight the monster!

  • Eman Benghazi - 13 years ago

  • Mazen - 13 years ago

    yessssssssssssssssssss you must do, thousands have been kidnapped and murdered. thousands have been injured

  • Naji - 13 years ago

    why do you want the massacre to continue in Misurata and Zintan

  • naji - 13 years ago

    I do not know why the west do not want to arm the Libyan army organised by the the Transitional National Council in Libya and every one knows the this council represents all Libyans except those who have been heavily bribed by the most corrupt regime in the world.
    I think that governments like China and Russia have been seduced by enormous amounts of money and that is why they are still supporting this murderous regime.
    we know that Gaddafi has a lot of money which sounds very appealing to those corrupt governments.

  • Lailah - 13 years ago

    yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

  • mohamed zentany - 13 years ago

    yes I agree ,please do that as soon as possible pepole are dieing evry single minute.

  • Free Libyan - 13 years ago

    I believe that USA should arm Libyan people...As president Obama noticed, civilians got murdered by war machine used by Qadaffi forces....I think USA should help Libyans to build national Libyan army, that in future after liberating Libya from Qadaffi's mercenaries forces, this army will be part of the NATO.

  • James Lee - 13 years ago

    The US should funnel the arms through Egypt or Turkey so as not to make a big scene out of it. At the very least, the opposition deserves a fighting chance so they can have a chance to prove to themselves and the world that they can maintain a government that is accountable to their people. The United States faces a difficult political challenge in trying to field a limited military operation in a place where its interests are relatively limited. However, they should work toward their implicit goal which to see Gaddafi gone.

  • jeje - 13 years ago

    "the women and children are crying in Western mountain in Libya , Zentan , Yefren , Naloot , Musrata Zawiyah.. etc . Please protect them as they are also Libyan civilians and they must be protected as mention in the security council resolution. Please do not make bargains on Libyans blood "
    Thank you

  • Lotfi Zintani - 13 years ago

    It is the US moral responsibility to arm the libyan freedomfighters and to put an end to the bloodshed in Libya. Helping the people anywhere in the world simply is one of the American values on which the founding fathers established the American nation. Would America respect its values? i hope.

  • Libyan Fergani - 13 years ago

    I'm Libyan, and really seeing what is going on. Qaddafi and his criminals, should not stay in this world. If they can they will kill all Libyans, in addition they will also try to do any thing that heart countries involved on the Libya military operation. arming Libyan under the National Transitional Council's supervision maybe a good solution to end all this

  • Ahmed Mohammed - 13 years ago

    I think this is a thing that should be done right away bcz the crazy gaddafi has been bringing weapons from all over the world to kill children and women. Rebels will bring us freedom and democracy and as soon as we get this creature out, our life will turn to the good.

  • Willoul Zuwara - 13 years ago

    A better approach is to arm Libyan Army under the National Transitional Council's supervision, through available frozen funds belonging to the Libyan people abroad.

  • soshama soraya - 13 years ago

    Please soon .....Libyans ..... die.... every.... single.... minute..........

  • FAYROZ - 13 years ago

    i think the USA should arm the Libyan rebels because is not fear war between the two saids ......and the Libyans has the right to become free in their own land ....
