i think the article said it all , Qaddafi fall is a question of days , in the worst scenario matter of few months . he has no supplies and now is pulled in many directions . the ICC procedure is the last door that was a time remained open that now closes

 

I remember hearing the same about Saddam. Westerners just dont understand factional tribal war.

 

Whatever happens I'll never understand what were doing there. We only import 3% of our oil from Libya. Europe gets 85% of Libyan oil sold, most of all Italy and France. As well as having the biggest investments in Libyan oil infrastructure.

 

We already account for 75% of NATO's defense budget. The Euro members are planning to slash their defense budgets even more in coming years, "not that most of them are spending a dime on Libya anyway let alone fighting."

 

All Mr. Q has to do is survive. Eventually Americans and Brits will wake up and figure they are suckers for financing this expensive and illegal war and that will be it.

I don't understand why we just don't use the oil we have here, bring back low gas prices.

Might be time for another reminder:

There will be absolutely no discussion of politics regarding this. Keep your opinions on the legality of the war and it's intervention to yourselves or other forums.

production declined since the 80's apparently because so did the easy-to access oil.

my mother is moving out and i'm helping her a bit . i didn't followed the news concerning Lybia recently , but at only news i managed to see , Gaddafi position was unenviable , seems the rebels managed to completly surround Tripoli . saw another news that i couldn't verify too , i heard a huge explosion happened on a Cyprus airbase killing 12 . don't know if it's linked to Lybia .?

 

Edit : Cyprus airbase (huge) explosion seems to have been caused by a weapons storage that was not operated correctly

I didnt exactly see any conflict it was involved in, tho a pretty video non-the-less. Ive personally always been a fan of the French fighter industry, most of all the Mirage series. Im just fond of their lines.

 

And at a time of global economic crisis and reduced warplane puchases how lucky we all were to get such a splendid little, cant lose, reality air show in Libya to woo perspective INTL buyers of fighters and Jabos. Even the Swedes are there with their Gripens.

It seems the only thing Gaddafi is able to do to Europe is send more immigrants.

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-14103752

 

"(...) But another man hinted that he had been put aboard by the Libyan government. It was also strange that everyone we spoke to denied they had paid any money for the crossing. It is possible that the migrants are now being encouraged to leave Libya, so fulfilling Gaddafi's threat to "unleash an unprecedented wave of illegal immigration" into Europe. (...)"

"Rebels said that after a night of heavy fighting, they controlled a handful of city neighbourhoods. But whether they hold on could depend on the speed with which the rebels elsewhere reach Tripoli."

 

Quote taken from Reuters. Interesting but could be exaggeration.

HMS Albion or Ocean pic attached with Apache's on board. Been deployed in the med for a while now I think. Thanks Thaiscom for posting photo in wish list thread.

 

Edit: Another interesting quote. 20km. Taking that town is confirmed on BBC.

"Rebel fighters returning from the front line said they they had taken the town of Jaddaim and that they were now about 20 km from Tripoli and approaching the city's outlying western suburb of Janzour."

Operation Mermaid Dawn has been launched. Think that's about getting Gaddafi out. Rebels seized elite military base, rebels have reached west side of Tripoli.

seems things are accelerating right now . seems rebels now control almost all of Tripoli , they controlled only a district few hours ago . most important they captured Saïf-al-islam . don't know if we can talk of victory but at last there's the smell of it . Gaddhafi still calling the people to take the arms , some things are definitly out of my range

Guess he's done fighting or he is trying a faster way to reload! It seems to appear he is a little off still :D
