How Many Days in a Row Have We Bombed Gaddafi's Compound?


Fox News - Hours after NATO airstrikes pounded the area near Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi's compound again before dawn Thursday, Russia's envoy to Libya turned up at a bombing site while on a visit to Tripoli for talks on ending the civil war.  The latest NATO strike on Qaddafi's compound rattled windows across the heart of the capital, producing thunderous concussions and smoke billowing into the air. It was not clear what was hit, and there was no word on casualties. Government officials did not immediately comment on the strike. NATO warplanes have repeatedly targeted the area in and around the Bab al-Aziziya compound.


So I haven’t been following this Gaddafi story too much lately, but basically we’ve bombed his compound for 183 straight days? Is that correct? What kind of compound are we talking about here? How isn’t he dead yet?  Someone did check that he was home right? Or are we just missing him everytime? Having the misfortune for calling for air raids every time he runs out to pick the family up some pizza or Chinese food.  

Gotta be it, right? Gaddafi’s just the master of coincidental timing.  Like two friends playing telephone tag, only with an oppressive murdering dictator and a military force and their smart bombs.
