Cruise missile strikes Gadhafi compound - NBC Today Show - March 21, 2011

A cruise missile blasted Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's residential compound overnight in an attack that carried as much symbolism as military effect.

Fighter jets also destroyed a line of tanks moving on the rebel capital. The U.S. said the international assault would hit any government forces attacking the opposition.

Jubilant rebels said they expected to bring Gadhafi down in a matter of days.

Meantime, U.S. military officials told NBC News that Gadhafi's chief of staff has ordered that bodies be removed from morgues and placed at a bombing site in Bab al Azaziya to make it appear the dead had been killed by coalition airstrikes.

The site, which the U.S. insists was a legitimate military target, was bombed Sunday and military intelligence reported no sign of civilian casualties.

According to intelligence reports, once the bodies are in place, international media will to be taken to the site to report the alleged atrocity.

The reported effort to stage the deaths of innocent civilians comes after the head of the Arab League condemned the apparent killing of civilians in coalition airstrikes.

Khadddafy is a monster, but i defend history, not people, and i believe all this shit is just American Propaganda.

What a load of crap, this is just another of "the mighty american" attempts to have the whole world ruled by people that think america is the greatest. When will they learn that not everyone could give a stuff if america simply dropped of the face of the planet. What a peaceful place the world would be without america and its war mongering friends.
