Good news. The rebels have taken the Libya/Tunisia boarder.
Gaddafi forces up until today had controlled the West(Tunisian boarder) and North(coastal area east of Misurata all the way to west of Brega) sections of the country, while the Rebels held the south(south of Tripoili) and East(everything East of Ajdabiya). With taking this boarder crossing in western Libya it effectively surrounds Gaddafi forces on 3 sides with Rebel held areas. leaving the fourth side blockaded by NATO.
The fight lasted 3 or 4 hours with Gaddafi forces retreating into Tunisia where the Tunisian military forced them to surrender and took them into custody. The rebel flag now flys there and Tunisia is shipping in aid and treating Rebel wounded in their hospitals.
yeah Gaddafi really has no point in continuing, now HE is completely cut off. he can even get his oil from that China based company now.
President Obama has approved the use of Armed Predator Drones in Libya
