-- Gaddafi has little support when, in fact, mass rallies turn out in Tripoli and elsewhere for him;
-- few civilians have been killed or injured when, in fact, around 1,200 or more have been killed, many thousands more injured;
-- NATO only attacks military targets when, in fact, civilian ones are deliberately struck; and
-- Tripoli is a ghost town, when, in fact, life goes on relatively normally in spite of daily bombings.
In other words, falsified reports suppress reality on the ground, including that NATO miscalculated. As a result, it's losing because Libyans are united against lawless, naked aggression, refusing to let their country become another imperial trophy.
Knowing Libya's been there before, they want none of it. Moreover, they understand Washington's Middle East/North Africa agenda to colonize the entire region, militarize and balkanize it, control its resources, steal its wealth, and exploit its people ruthlessly. It's why all US wars are fought, never for humanitarian reasons.
It's the same dirty game Washington and its coalition allies repeat against all nations less than totally under their control, especially resource-rich ones. As a result, Libya was targeted for takeover, a plan that may, in fact, have backfired.
