While the Colonel certainly has a lot of enemies it seems some of his very few friends are extremely loyal as since the conflict started many reports of Zimbabwean and Algerian soldiers fighting for his regime have emerged.
Also backing the reports, in March the Zimbabwean Mail stated that according to sources from the Zimbabwean military intelligence, "The Zimbabwe National Army and its Air force are heavily involved in the fierce battles between forces loyal to Colonel Muammar Gaddafi and the rebel's forces."
In Uganda, in April there were also reports that some troops of the UPDF, the President Yoweri Museveni's party had been sent to the country.

Jesus Christ, everytime a bomb goes off in a new Middle-Eastern country people sh*t bricks. I will literally buy a webcam, turn it on, broadcast to anyone who wants to watch and eat my own hat in front of you if the U.S. proceeds with a full-scale invasion of Libya anytime in the next 5 years.

Furthermore, I've read 4 pages and nobody has the temerity to point out that Obama [read: USA] is NOT an ally of Israel and wants its destruction.
"There will be clues coming through the news over the next few days, but all the assets, the aircraft carriers, submarines and so on are already in place for this kind of operation" he added. He is also deeply concerned that if this comes to pass, the Chinese and Russians will be forced to jump in as well (on the other side).

Tehran - Iran is to test its missiles in war games starting Monday, a revolutionary guards (IRGC) commander said Sunday. General Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the IRIC aerospace department, told the Fars news agency that missiles with different ranges will be tested in so-called 'Prophet 6' manoeuvres. The general said the routine testing exercise should not be viewed as a threat to other countries. Tehran has repeatedly said its armed forces are not trained to attack another country, but the West fears Iran could launch a missile strike against its arch-foe Israel. New ballistic missiles were reportedly delivered last month to the IRGC, including the Qiam1 (Rising), which can strike targets that are normally difficult to intercept. The Defence Ministry delivered third-generation Fateh-110 missiles to the revolutionary guards in October and now plans to start testing fourth-generation missiles. The Fateh-110 is described as a short-range, road-mobile ballistic missile with advanced navigation and control systems. However, the main concern of Western nations is the Shahab-3 ballistic missile, which has a range of up to 2,000 kilometres and could reach any part of Israel
Flagged and stared! Very scary post, I figured Libya was is in play due to their move to the gold dinar for all transactions (oil). This was the same mistake that Saddam made and look what happened to him. But why Syria? I know their politics may be a thorn to some fair weather friends in the region, but what would be the significance of their defeat. What do they have to offer? If Iran was do-able they would have been in play by now, so I am thinking China and Russia let the PTB know what their reaction would be if we (USA) decided to engage them. Once again, good work and great find!

About time. These wars can't be ignored. They've been brewing for decades. A bad economy won't stop it from happening. If it gets to that we'll enter a wartime economy. We have to do what we have to do. That's life. I wish this was a peaceful world too and that bad things only happened in movies. But reality beckons us to the light. There's no choice in the matter.
There comes a time when the men are separated from the boys. This might be that time.

The above statement from the original post is FALSE
Assets are not in place,
My best friend is the communications officer for one of the U.S most powerfull nuclear submarines... he assures me that NO unusual activity is or has taken place recently. they are all on their regular patrol routes...
he's lying to you! i hear you scream...
This is the guy that told me to watch out for Isreal.. he said to them its not a matter of If they will nuke Iran .. but WHEN..
over 13 years i have never found him lacking in honesty to warn his friend (me) of any unusual happenings.
unless of course they are ALWAYS in place ready for ww3.. no unusual orders atm though..
if this part falls down? how accurate are the other parts from this dubious source?
