Why else would Jamahiriya loyalists contest NATO's ferocity courageously for seven months. They want to live free and won't quit. Alive, Gaddafi leads them inspirationally. Martyred for a just cause even more so.
Conflicting reports suggest, but don't confirm, Gaddafi's death. Xinhuanet.com headlined, "NATO launches air raids in Sirte on Thursday: spokesman," saying:
In early morning, two military vehicles were struck "maneuvering in the vicinity of Sirte," according to NATO.
It couldn't confirm if Gaddafi was in one. A TNC commander claimed he was killed trying to flee Sirte. NATO didn't confirm if he's dead or captured.
In Tripoli for a staged photo-op, Hillary Clinton said, "We hope (Gaddafi) will be captured or killed soon."
A NATO official told Xinhua it's for TNC officials to confirm Gaddafi's status, "not the military alliance."
NATO "repeatedly said (he's) not a target of its campaign in Libya, which aims to protect civilians."
For months, NATO ravaged Libya and massacred tens of thousands. Some protection!
