Credit: Reuters/Anis Mili By Michael Georgy BENGHAZI, Libya | Mon Apr 18, 2011 4:00pm EDT BENGHAZI, Libya (Reuters) - A chartered ship evacuated nearly 1,000 foreign workers and wounded Libyans from Misrata on Monday as rebels said they had gained ground in fighting with government forces in the besieged city. "We wanted to be able to take more people out but it was not possible," said Jeremy Haslam, who led the International Organization for Migration (IOM) rescue mission. "Although the exchange of fire subsided while we were boarding ... we had a very limited time to get the migrants and Libyans on board the ship and then leave." A rebel spokesman said four civilians were killed and five wounded by government shellfire which pounded Misrata, Libya's third-largest city and the rebels' main stronghold in the west of the country, for a fifth day on Monday. But rebels also said they had gained ground in fighting on bitterly contested Tripoli Street, a key battleground in the city's seven-week siege by forces loyal to President Muammar Gaddafi. "The revolutionaries have made progress and are controlling some areas surrounding Tripoli Street, but danger is still there because (Gaddafi's) snipers ... are now using (rocket-propelled grenades) RPGs and bombs," Abdelsalam, a rebel spokesman in Misrata, told Reuters by telephone. "It is clear Gaddafi wants to wipe out Misrata. NATO's inaction is helping him carry out this plan. Are they waiting for a massacre to happen to realize that they need to change tactics?" Abdelsalam said. "They need to realize that their large aircraft are no longer useful. Gaddafi changed tactics. this is urban warfare." Another rebel spokesman raised the death toll from shelling on Sunday to 25, mostly civilians, because several of the wounded had died, and said about 100 people had been wounded. Evacuees say conditions in Misrata are becoming increasingly desperate. Hundreds of civilians are thought to have been killed. The Ionian Spirit steamed out of Misrata carrying 971 people, most of them weak and dehydrated migrants mainly from Ghana, the Philippines and Ukraine, heading for the rebel stronghold of Benghazi in eastern Libya. It was the second vessel chartered by the IOM, which took out nearly 1,200 migrants from Misrata last Friday. Among the rescued group were 100 Libyans, including a child shot in the face, the IOM said in a statement. "...the migrants still in Misrata cannot survive much longer like this," said IOM Middle East representative Pasquale Lupoli. Pro-Gaddafi forces have also kept up an offensive on the rebels' eastern frontline outpost of Ajdabiyah, a potential rebel staging post to retake the oil port of Brega, 50 miles to the west. Sunday marked a month since the U.N. Security Council passed a resolution authorizing force to protect civilians in Libya, leading to an international air campaign. 1 2 Next World Libya Tweet this Share this Link this Digg this Email Reprints We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.

Right now everything is ad hoc and it shows along with the lack of heavy armor to counter Libya tanks, artillery and missiles. It was never realistic for civilians alone to beat an organized military, even if the Gadhafi military is so inferior to Western standards that it could easily fall to NATO forces. Libya better hope that Donald Trump does not get nominated and elected President since he has already come out in favor of U. S. colonialism. He would seize Libya and merely allocate a portion of its oil revenues for the benefit of the Libyan people. Like it or not that is within the practical power of a U. S. President, although it is not a way to gain allies and economical resources. No President who has started a war has been stopped by Congress. The Iraq War is a perfect example of one that should have been stopped. In my opinion President G W. Bush invaded Iraq soley because President G. H. W. Bush failed to get a complete resolution of the hazard posed by former ally Saddam Hussein, and for no other reason. I told my family the U. S. would be invading Iraq when President G. W. Bush was elected and I had no doubts whatsoever about that. Once a war is started the President corners Congress for funding in the name of protecting the troops already there. The U. S. Constitution needs to be updated on war issues. The days of kings are past.

These people try to drag US into another predicament war that could deplete its financial resources, even Obama presidential bid, and death of hundred thousands human life. These warmongers have their own hidden agenda and beware of the rhetoric of these snakes. Practically speaking, NATO military action is an ill-conceived plan.
