then it will be one last, desperate stand, from the Loyalists

or they will put all their effort into taking Misrata(sp)

and this wont be WWIII, hell all this could avert it from happening... well... it could lead to it to, but this WILL set the stage for the rest of the 21st century.

Wait... they're retreating? Oh [REDACTED]! Does Gaddafi have any nukes?

Also, how is there still AAA fire in Tripoli, haven't we been bombing that city for quite a while now?

no matter how much the teenagers (my age group sadly) don't want to care about this, it WILL effect them, it will effect their children, and it will effect their family. and its effecting them now here in the United States threw higher gas prices.

thats what i see with my age group anyway.


it is to my understanding Libya shut down its nuclear program without making any nukes

CNN's new crew reported seeing some of those AA guns

Gadaffi does however have 23 Metric tons of mustard gas and 1300 metric tons of precursor chemicals

I found a wikipedia article on Libyas Nuclear capacity:

Libya is a signatory of NPT which was signed in 1968, ratified in 1975. Despite these commitments, Libya had sought to acquire sensitive nuclear materials, weapon materials, and know-how from several countries such as the former Soviet Union/Russia, China, Ukraine, Belgium, India, and Pakistan[2]. Prior to 1978, Libya allegedly tried to buy nuclear weapons from India[3]. Libya and India agreed in July 1978 to cooperate in the peaceful application of nuclear energy, in line with India's "atoms for peace" policy[4].
The same year, Libya was invited to participate in Pakistan's secret Project-706. However, by the time Libyans joined the research program, Pakistan's Bhutto was hanged and Libya was carefully excluded from the scientific research[5].

I've found some info on what Gaddafi has deployed in the field:

Several (exact number:32) Mirage F1 multi-role fighters, one of which has been shot down, two of which were used in defections and several others that apear to be unusable. however these jets still pose a threat to rebel forces and NATO fighter bombers

That's how they operate.


i know, but a lot of people think the United States(and the Coalition) will go county hopping helping with protesters overthrow their government.

i can now also safely say the rebels have retaken all lost ground and are now advancing into loyalist territory with Gadaffi's home town of Sirt as first stop on the road to Tripoli, i expect heavy fighting because Loyalists are dug in
