Libya: Cameron and Sarkozy mobbed in Benghazi

[nadinbrzezinski]

Thousands of Libyans have turned out to cheer UK Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy in the eastern city of Benghazi.

"It is great to be in free Libya," Mr Cameron said. "Col Gaddafi said he would hunt you down like rats, but you showed the courage of lions."

The two leaders pledged support for the interim authorities.

Meanwhile, anti-Gaddafi fighters say they have entered Sirte, one of the last cities loyal to the ousted leader.

A spokesman for the National Transitional Council (NTC) told the BBC that NTC fighters have breached lines of defence on the south and west of Sirte.

They're there to get a close look at their investment. They've destroyed Europe, now they can start on Libya's resources. They need to find money somewhere to rescue their banks before their whole Global Capitalist nightmare collapses, which most ananlyts say will be pretty soon.

They're not even hiding their involvement anymore. I see the new military leader is the guy who who lived right next door to the CIA here. He says he had 'contact with the CIA' but 'never worked for them'. Lol! and he ends up in control in Libya. Just like that.
