Gaddafi forces push into rebel city of Benghazi
By Mohammed Abbas Mohammed Abbas – 44 mins ago
BENGHAZI, Libya (Reuters) – Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's forces pushed into the rebel-held city of Benghazi on Saturday, defying world demands for an immediate ceasefire and after France's U.N. envoy predicted an imminent military action.
Explosions shook Benghazi while a fighter jet was heard flying overhead, and residents said the eastern rebel stronghold was under attack from Gaddafi's forces.
"The explosions started about 2 a.m. Gaddafi's forces are advancing, we hear they're 20 km (12 miles) from Benghazi," Faraj Ali, a resident, said.
"It's land-based fire. We saw one aircraft," he added.
Gaddafi's forces advance into Benghazi pre-empted an international meeting hosted by France on Saturday to discuss military intervention in Libya. The meeting will be attended by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Arab leaders.
"We saw Gaddafi's tanks, cars and missile trucks less than five km away," a rebel fighter giving his name as Mohammed told Reuters.
Libya had declared a unilateral ceasefire on Friday after the U.N. Security Council authorized a no-fly zone over Libya.......................

And by that comparison Libya will be the next Iraq? I for one ask myself what political suicide gene drove Sarkozi, Obama and David Cameron to rush into this one? I have yet to read or hear one single political proclamation from those rebel leaders - or even get to see they got any leadership.
So for what or for whom, PLEASE, are we fighting for over there?!?!?!
