Aye, innit the truth.

2 months ago no one was talking about NATO & Libya. Now it's everywhere, a deliberate propaganda push.

Rumor has it Putin is obsessed with Quaddafi due to how quickly he was overthrown, and this push makes me think those rumors are correct. Long serving dictators sitting on an ever-growing pile of resentment, fear of overthrow, etc.
