Front Lines of the Libyan Revolution (A Documentary)

VICE Founder Shane Smith takes you into the heart of the Libyan revolution, where the stakes are simple: victory or death. We head into rebel-controlled eastern Libya, traveling from the Egyptian border to Benghazi and then onto the front lines in Misrata to document the violent revolution.

you dumbfuck thats how a democracy starts, you cant expect the country to rebuild itself in less than 3 years

[MrZebcolter]

Another non libyan asshole calling libyans rats. who the fuck gave you the right to call them rats?? Unlike your pathetic ass sitting on youtube commenting about a country thats non of your business, these brave men fought and DEFEATED a dictator.

[Bilal Elbarrani]

your name lol.

peter Lynne.

What do you know peter Lynne?

What have you been enlightened with that I haven't.

My own home country, my people; and your telling me to google my self?

Are you telling me that you, PETER LYNNE, know more about my country than I?

I've witnessed what you haven't; my family has gone through what you no not of.

There is no greater calamity then the words that you spout on the screen before me.

Coward.

Go back to serbia or wherever the fuck your from .

[Wyldstylist]

I would never call Libyans that but keep in mind the guy without a leg in the video he speaks in Arabic with Russian accent interesting he's from caucasus . I wonder how these Saudis and Nato guys recruited them all.

[Wyldstylist]

Well my friend i am afraid that the new Saudi dictators of Libya will bring out the worst from islam , poverty and a very long revenge on the Libyan people has started , they are dehydrated starving and stopped receiving any benefit from the new tyrannical regime that only hands out benefits to it's al nusra front.

[Wyldstylist]

Getting ahold of a Libyan passport was impossible for foreign Arabs and Libya would never afford to keep all refugees on gov benefit payments . So did Gaddafi fail? He might have failed on the official level the government but in the struggle for the revolution and the Arab Unity he didn't fail. He wanted all countries to have benefit income and so Qatar copied him and also Kuwait and Saudi Arabia so HE DIDN'T FAIL!!! The rebels although they are not all bad they were blinded by greed.

[Wyldstylist]

Ratnik they voted you down because you don't know how non-libyans were treated in Libya . As long as you were born in Libya and had a Libyan passport you were fine but be a Tunesian or Egyptian or any other Arab you had to find a job and you got no benefits from the state . The Jamahiriya idea was good but could not provide for Arab minorities so now they are in power and they take out their revenge on the Libyan people while NATO looks the other way .

[Wyldstylist]

Dream on buddy the day you murdered Colonel Gaddafi who was only a symbol of revolution and independence was the day you signed your own contract of slavery , sure you and a few traitors will free yourselves and enslave the people that was the agenda of nato all the time . Im not saying the Jamahiriya was flawless but much better then the piece of shit you have now since the coup Libyan state has lost 1000 million of dollars . A people's democracy starts by removing USA not inviting them.

[MrZebcolter]

The only retard hee is you. You assholes are running out of lies to spread about Libya. Jihad??? Hahahaha try again asshole

[janjan55555]

"Jihad has nothing to do with Libya"

From what planet are you to begin with?!

You're either an American or just retarded by default!

[MrZebcolter]

Calling me a Muslim hater wont change the fact that your opinions and lies about Libya are worthless. I am against extremists something the majority of Libyans are against too. Jihad has nothing to do with Libya, go somewhere else with that shit. THE Only PEOPLE THAT MATTER TO LIBYA ARE LIBYANS. Stay out of their business and focus on your country which im sure is a shithole

[janjan55555]

you're a Muslim-hater so I don't trust you, btw if you would understand a thing or two of the concept "Jihad" you would know that begging NATO is NOT a part of it!
