MSNBC FINALLY covering the situation in Tripoli. President Obama to make a statement about the

[jenmito]

situation once he has "full confirmation of what is happening."

[gateley]

1. Thanks - are they live in the studio or are they still streaming AJE? nt

Edit -- never mind, just saw where nad posted MSNBC will be going live.

[jenmito]

2. They're showing video from Tripoli right now while reporting on it. n/t

[gateley]

3. Thanks! I think I'll keep it on AJE and watch the events as they unfold. nt

[jenmito]

4. I don't blame you. But I'm hoping to see Richard Engel on MSNBC reporting from Libya. Hopefully,

he WILL be reporting from there live.

[gateley]

5. A while back when I checked (and I'm checking the live streams

from work, not TV) they were showing a report of his. Don't know if it was recent or if they cut back to him after the piece, but he's sure to be there and they'll go to him -- don't you think?

[jenmito]

7. Well, I just checked Twitter, and his last tweet was from yesterday, so I doubt

the report was live. I'll keep watching, though. Andrea Mitchell is on TV reporting, too. And now they just reported that Obama won't make a statement until he has "full confirmation of what is happening."

[gateley]

22. Too bad, boy, you'd think he'd be THE guy! I'm listening to MSNBC now

and haven't heard him. Heading home soon so I'll be w/out the newz in the car! Yikes!

24. Rachel Maddow just tweeted that MSNBC.com is reporting on it w/ a report from Engel here:

15. I AM watching the people celebrating the collapse of Ghadafi's regime. This is NOT the same as

our illegal invasion of Iraq. I did NOT enjoy the gore of Saddam's sons. I know you love portraying Obama as the same as Bush, and equating Iraq to Libya, but there IS no comparison. I will sleep VERY well tonight knowing the people are finally getting what they've wanted for about 40 years.

17. Are you Libyan? Is that why you are so involved? Have family that's part of the

situation there? :shrug:

[jenmito]

20. No. I'm human and have compassion for the people who have been trying their best to

overthrow Ghadafi. :shrug:

[gateley]

26. ....

:pals: Too many times around here I wonder where the compassion went. :(

[jenmito]

27. ...

:pals: Thanks for that. Back at ya!

19. So you're not one of those who want the US to fail and end up

rioting in the streets. Good to know.

10. Three of his sons are captured and headed to the Hague.

I know, how anti-climactic.

Those damn rebels have some sense of discipline, it turns out.

[jenmito]

12. One of them surrendered. n/t

14. Jeeze...you think he will get the cage...or the torture? It will be interesting how Blitzer spins

the whole thing. He can really "get off" on some things that involve torture and manipulation.

[jenmito]

16. Keep up the false equivalency. There is none-but that won't stop you. n/t

18. Obama's critics can really "get off" on ignoring the successful overthrow of a genocidal dictator.

President Obama showed great leadership whereas most of the Republicans running for president opposed the use of the American military to support the rebels: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1786623

I'm just waiting for all those who were against this UN-sanctioned NATO mission to say they were for it all along.

23. No one is forcing you to watch any of it. nt

21. $5 says he doesn't even mention the public option.
