On outskirts of city dozens of cars speeding into Tripoli with rebel flags. Rebels say they are going to aid any fight that occurs

Asian shares are up about 0.4% and S&P futures have reversed earlier losses, now up 5.

Tonight, the momentum against the Qadhafi regime has reached a tipping point. Tripoli is slipping from the grasp of a tyrant. The Qadhafi regime is showing signs of collapsing. The people of Libya are showing that the universal pursuit of dignity and freedom is far stronger than the iron fist of a dictator.

The surest way for the bloodshed to end is simple: Moammar Qadhafi and his regime need to recognize that their rule has come to an end. Qadhafi needs to acknowledge the reality that he no longer controls Libya. He needs to relinquish power once and for all. Meanwhile, the United States has recognized the Transitional National Council as the legitimate governing authority in Libya. At this pivotal and historic time, the TNC should continue to demonstrate the leadership that is necessary to steer the country through a transition by respecting the rights of the people of Libya, avoiding civilian casualties, protecting the institutions of the Libyan state, and pursuing a transition to democracy that is just and inclusive for all of the people of Libya. A season of conflict must lead to one of peace.

The future of Libya is now in the hands of the Libyan people. Going forward, the United States will continue to stay in close coordination with the TNC. We will continue to insist that the basic rights of the Libyan people are respected. And we will continue to work with our allies and partners in the international community to protect the people of Libya, and to support a peaceful transition to democracy.

Fucking great. This is going to end well.

Gaddafi says he is “afraid that Tripoli will burn” – audio on state TV

DREADFUL. There is no way he survives this. Sino-Forest is excluded from this list.

A little confusion around the interwebs tonight. Shocker!

Although S&P futs appear to be down 8.5 right now, they’re really only off by 3.7. Dow futs are really only off by 33 and Naz by 1.

This is all due to fair value.

Google it.
