Now gaddafi govt. is paper tiger
with UN authorization now , any Libyan flight rising will be SHOT in minutes , forget reaching Mediterranean sea to destroy foreign military .
Here is one scenario that will play out in next 2 weeks
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- Now majority of Libyan forces ( 30 to 40% ?) are around Bengazi , once once UN air force intimidate these force in next few days with false bombing ( no killing but adjacent bombing ) , majority of these gaddafi hired army will flee.
- Then Rebels can take over all these 40% libyan ammunition, , tanks and re-capture majority of Libyan cities back .
- With this with out foreign boots on ground , Rebels will take over Tripoli and out gaddafi .
- may be this may be planned strategy from US/EU generals for delaying UN vote ( with consultationn with Rebels ) so that they can outs gaddafi easily.
- think about it with with no-fly zone 2 weeks ago , how hard is it to capture all the gaddafi ground forces for Rebels. Now 40% of the gaddafi forces are near Bengazi they make these army assets ( tanks etc. ) their own and use against gaddafi tripoli
Quote from kingjelly:
The statement said Libya would strike back at civilian and foreign targets if the country comes under attack from foreign forces.
"Any foreign military act against Libya will expose all air and maritime traffic in the Mediterranean Sea to danger and civilian and military (facilities) will become targets of Libya's counter-attack," said the statement.
"The Mediterranean basin will face danger not just in the short-term, but also in the long-term," it said.
