If some countries attack Libya, Austria will not be among them:

A new Gallup poll shows 70% of Austrians are against a military intervention by our army.

I wasn't even aware that it was an issue... I mean as a NATO non-member and all. Tongue

But we are members of the EU Battlegroup 107, which could be sent to Lybia.

Looks very unlikely though because no politician would authorize the deployment of Austrian soldiers to Lybia.

I hope they finish him off now in the coming days so that it won't last any longer ...

It turns out that Gaddafi has a Condoleezza Rice fetish:

Somewhat amusingly, there's a picture already.

"The Misrata Military council is also saying that Gaddafi has been killed. We cannot confirm this. In an email it said it would give a press conference later to explain how he died after being captured."

Picture here:

SIRTE, Libya –  A fuel tank exploded in Muammar Qaddafi's hometown of Sirte, killing more than 100 people, less than a week after the former Libyan leader was captured and killed there, a military commander said Tuesday.

"There was an enormous explosion and a huge fire. More than 100 people were killed and 50 others wounded," Transitional National Council (TNC) commander Leith Mohammed said.

He said the scene of Monday night's blast was "a heart-wrenching spectacle, with dozens of charred bodies."

Could have been some way to get rid of some Gadaffi-loyalists if you ask me.

Or just a tragic coincidence.
