The Bombing of Sirte - Gaddafi’s Birthplace

Telegraph: Reports that the Allies have started to bomb Sirte, the birthplace of Colonel Gaddafi. One gets the impression that the Allies are not interested in a long war, they are rolling up the Gaddafi security forces, thus this blog’s prediction that this War could last days not weeks. The East of Libya is in the hands of the rebels, reports from the rolling news is that Gaddafi is removing his tanks back to the Capital of Tripoli, lets hope this is not a honey trap for the rebels. The nightmare for the Allies would be for this desert war to turn in to a urban war, the Allies would have limited ability to use their planes. But on the whole the strategy of air power is working faster than this blog thought.
