Battle for Tripoli - Libyan Front Line




Guardian: Reports that the majority of Tripoli is under the control of the rebels but that there are still loyal Gaddafi Security Forces in small pockets around Tripoli, not all the Gaddafi compound is in the hands of the rebels, also the Rixos Hotel and surrounding area is under Gaddafi control. The Rebels and NATO need finish this job, there cant be any embers of Gaddafi left, or NATO will face the same problem that it has in Afghanistan and the US and its Allies had in Iraq, insurgents that can cause havoc, one can ask does new Libyan regime have the manpower and fire power to deal with Gaddafi forces that go down the insurgent track. Will the UN need to send in a peace keeping force, will the UK and France have to be the backbone of such a force. It could take years and could cost in human and money terms folks.
