#RevolutionMemories Watching more news during the 8 months period than I have my entire life! #addicted

#Revolutionmemories statue of green book fell in AlBayda, i hear the quote "today the book, tomorrow the author"

Thanku4theAnger THANKU4THEANGER

#RevolutionMemories The uncertainty about Brega front progress before it was liberated

bilal H.B.

#RevolutionMemories is a touchy subject i choose not speak about because as much as i have Great memories i still remember my dead friends.

I remember when it was cold at night 2KM from Brega we used to sing missing our moms, Dark/sweet times indeed

At day in Brega it was hot really hot TOO hot some times we just try to survive the hot weather not the enemy rockets

I remember when my eye issues started i didn't tell anyone until one day i woke up and everything was completely blurred now that was scary

I remember when i was in Sirte and got injured(Again)it was a very bad day for us i screamed my lungs out and i was scared 4 the first time

At ben Jawad i was there when they betrayed the FFs i remember some guys were crying and why did they betray us! we were nice back then.

I told if i start talking about #RevolutionMemories only bad memories will come I'm trying my best to put this Rev behind me.

How can a country with 6 million population take over and headline the news? No country can, unless it's #Libya!

In just 15 days #HumanRights reported the death of 6000 Libyans in the Rev and the war haven't even started! and some dare to question us!

Did any one mention that #Libya is now the most talked about country in 2011 and BTW we didn't go to war with America!

Every leader know his country better than any one that's why Gaddafi had deals with mercenaries because he knew #Libyans would turn on him.

And because Gaddafi knew his people he also prepared militias that will only protect him and weakened the official Libyan army #Libya

Some may say there are struggles between Islamic parties and Liberals i don't deny it but i reply show me a country without left and right?
