AM I THE ONLY ONE GETTING INCREASINGLY FRUSTRATED WITH ALL THIS LIBYAN SHITE?

UPDATE: FOR A REALLY GOOD ANALYSIS, (NOT THE USUAL SHITE WE ARE FED) HAVE A LOOK AT THIS


The picture above purports to be of pro-Qaddafi forces' vehicles being hit by NATO forces fire.  Two things are important about this photo:


  1. It's the same one, differently framed as the 'Maley Dail' used last week and
  2. It shows you what a ragtag army the Libyan State Army is.
Whether you agree or not that Qaddafi is a 'BLOOD CRAZED' dictator or not, (if he was blood crazed why was Blair meeting him), what is indisputable, is that, Libya is one of the more progressive Arab Nations, where women are educated and have rights that women in other Arab states, notably Saudi Arabia, would die for, if you take my meaning.  The West has used the last three decades bringing the Qaddafi regime, 'in from the cold'.  But, the West when operating in this region has to play to the interests of The House of Saud and the Israelis, whose interests coincide in many cases as they both want to see stable Governments and if that means, blood crazed dictators so be it.  The Arab League's permission for the NO FLY ZONE was only brokered after the Saudis were allowed to nip next door to put down a rebellion which threatened their own security.


This is not a GULF WAR scenario.  The Rebel forces consist of about 1500 men who drive up and down the coast road in an assortment of pick up vans and ONE TANK which they have 'liberated' from somewhere.  It says a lot about the capabilities of the State Forces that they haven't been able to put them out of commission and it's probably only the NATO strikes that stops that.  Who are these rebel forces anyway?  We're told by the MSM, that they're infested with Al Qeada sympathisers.  


Maybe we're better off with Qaddafi, a reasonably benign dictator, by the standards of the region,  who's oil we can exploit.  But, I suppose it's too late for that now.  Anyone want to have bets, when the first coalition ground forces will be used?
