Qaddafi opens arms depot to supporters, starts handing out weapons

The embattled regime of Moammar Gadhafi is arming civilian supporters to set up checkpoints and quash dissent, residents of Tripoli said Saturday…

Pro-Gadhafi forces opened fire Friday on demonstrations after Muslim prayers, and Gadhafi told supporters he would “open the arms depot so all Libyans and tribes become armed.”

Residents contacted by phone from Cairo on Saturday reported trucks of pro-regime civilians patrolling the streets. They spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution.

AT THE VERY LEAST, WE OUGHT TO BE LANDING SHOPS AT THE POORT OF BENGHAZI AND OFF-LOADING AUTOMATIC RIFLES, BULLETS, AND GRENADE LAUNCHERS.

WE OUGHT TO BE MAKING IT A FAIR FIGHT.

AND WE OUGHT TO BE OFFERING QADDAFI'S MERCENARIES MONEY TO DEFECT.

OBAMA IS EITHER INCOMPETENT, A COWARD OR ON THE OTHER SIDE.
