AFP - The United States and it's allies are considering supplying weapons to the Libyan oppostion, the Washngton Post newspaper has reported.

It added, citing unnamed US and European officials, that the Obama administration believed the UN resolution that authorised international intervention in Libya has the "flexibility" to allow such assistance.

According to the newspaper, Gene Cretz, the recently withdrawn US ambassador to Libya, said administration officials were having "the full gamut" of discussions on "potential assistance we might offer, both on the non-lethal and the lethal side".

But no decisions had been made, the paper noted.

Rebel take over of Brega has been confirmed. Exact text:

4:16pm

.Rebels tell the AFP news agency they have retaken the eastern town of Brega, and a journalist confirms their forces are in the town centre. "We are in the centre of Brega," rebel fighter Abdelsalam al-Maadani told AFP by telephone.

"Gaddafi's forces are on the retreat and should now be at Al-Bisher (30km, 20 miles) west of Brega," he said.

That's what airstrikes are for. See a counter attack can be called an "attack on civilians" by the UNSC and therfore become targets :)

But yeah, the opposition does need to balance keeping momentum and over extending themselves.

Yea cause, you know, we shouldn't care about what happens in world right? It doesn't effect us at all. Who cares about the slaughtering of civilians. Who cares about evil dictators. We should leave them alone because, you know, nothing bad has ever happened when we left them alone right?

Wow, no updates in a while huh? Where's Phoenix when you need him? lol

2:17am (Libyan time) Coalition forces were carrying out intensive air strikes on pro-Gaddafi forces on the 400 km long road between Ajdabiya and Sirte (or Sirt), in the east, a government spokesman said Saturday.

Meanwhile the video of a woman who burst into the Tripoli restaurant full of foreign reporters with claims that Gadaffi troops beat and raped her, before being dragged into a car, has been making the rounds of the internet. No info on her as of late.

4:15am US intelligence reports suggest that Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's forces have placed the bodies of people they have killed at the sites of coalition air strikes so they can blame the West for the deaths, US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said in a television interview on Saturday, according to Reuters.

Apologies if this has already been stated but, in Syria, in the cities of Latakia and Tafas, Baath party buildings and police stations were set on fire. Two people were killed, and thousands more protested in Daraa.

I also read that Loyalist forces (I always think of the American Revolution when I say that) are preparing a counter attack on Ras Lanouf. That would mean that Ras Lanouf is in Rebel hands (I always think of Star Wars when I say that). However I can't confirm that.

True. Hell some places say that they already are at Ras Lanuf (unconfirmed places mind you). Coalition has been striking Misurata since yesterday to relive the pressure, which is good because the city is completely besieged. However if the Rebels can defeat the counter attack, then they can take Sirte then they have a clear road to Misurata

After Ra's Lanuf is As Sidr, it will take them some time to reach Misrata, hell maybe another week or 2, i fear they wont hold that long

  • 03.26.2011 8:30 PM PDT

Actually after Ras Lanuf is Bin Jawad then Sirt.
