“This Just In” is CNN's news blog. We'll bring you the latest news from CNN’s correspondents and sources around the world. We’ll cover stories that are breaking, causing ripples, or otherwise driving the collective daily conversation, along with some items we find interesting and worth sharing.





Heartbroken? Can you imagine the cold weather, radiation, losing your home, missing parents, a dead sibling. No way! I try not to think of the horror these poor people are going through. I am GUILTY. I pretend it is not happening.
Gee Phunnie boy,I wish I could do that. What happened in that country whose name starts with a J was a natural disaster whereas what's happening in Libya,Afghanistan and Iraq is manmade! There is a difference!
Guess who's going to enforce the so-called U.N."no-fly" zone over Libya? The U.S.Military,that's who!!! The right-wing thugs in Washington can't possibly get us into enough of their wars anymore! How disgusting!!!
@cesar 11:53 – read the news dude. We'll be providing satellite and p-3 intel, and countless intel related activities. The europeans are stepping up on this one. They're right there. It'd be like Mexico to us.
5 year old cocain posse at an upscale washington school? Not possible? Cell phones protect children? Who protects us from american children? Should such a country or its crazy university internet mafis be allowed to roam in the real world? Fair question like kansas cocain at .mil bases.
Elvis has left the building
Caesar or whatever you call your self. You need medications, you are definitely sick.
Izii-life: Obviously, you are part of the Tea Party movement. This is not the place for your comment as such lingo is unwanted.
None of you are right. Only I am right. Your puny attacks only make me stronger!!
@Right: Obviously, you are a Tea-Partier. It's as simple as that!!!
The fact remains, the UN has spoken and much needed support will be given to the civilian population of Libya who has been under the tyranny of the man who financed 911. Those of us who are in support and those of us who were against intervention have no real say in anything, we just are given this space to blow off steam. Gaddafi should be whacked and his regime disbanded so we can move unto domestic issues that plague us as a people here at home. Many individuals take democracy for granted because they haven't experienced the repression our founding fathers suffered through. I say, enjoy your freedoms, go to work, make a living, provide for your family and live life to its fullest. Life will go on with or without us.
You mean now that we can move in and take over Libya's oil,don't you mikeybronx? I'll bet that some of those U.N. members were bribed into getting this obscene resolution passed as that's the way Washington does business internationally.
You're kind of a broken record, dude. Is tea-partier really all you got?
@John – 1st, oil ain't what this is about; and 2nd, what really is the problem with us possibly having an oil-rich friend in that neighborhood? Might help bring gas prices down?
