The Weekend in Libya

The weekend has seen fast moving developments in Libya folks, the rebels have taken Ajdabiya, Brega and Ras Lanf, the air campaign against the Gaddafi forces has been very effective, from the rolling news of BBC and SKY it seems that the rebels have not fired a shot in anger since moving in to Ajdabiya, the question that can be asked is Colonel Gaddafi wanting to lure the rebels to Tripoli, move the combat from the open desert to a urban location. In a urban location the rebels could not count on the support of the Allies, the Allies will not risk the deaths of innocent bystanders, thus it will be down to hand to hand combat on the streets of Tripoli. Of course this would not happen should the Mad Dog Colonel Gaddafi call it a day and leave for exile, or he gets taken out by someone in his regime. The War in Libya if things keep going well, and that’s a big IF, could end in days folks. A net positive for President Obama, NATO and the UN.
