i sure hope you have a nice stack of barrels full of 100 octane benzin otherwise i have no idea how you could fly your Dora after the "madmax" fiasco ends and the world realises that those nice and good wishing rebels have destroyed all oil facilities in their beautiful newly "liberated" homeland. and the world has lost countless billions of investitions because they are infront of a stupid dilemma: support a bloody dictator and live happy or close your eyes and prepare to be fvcked by the consequences of anarchy in a place that has alot more meaning to the western world than it has to the people who actually live there. Oh and a news flash, who do you think will take care of them after they are done having a little "revolution" over there ? they never worked, they know nothing about work, and they will never want to work, why ? ill leave that answer to all of you to make for your selves, but guess what?! WE ARE going to spend milions and milions so they can countinue living in their "free Libya" and do nothing just like they did under Ghaddafy, and now i ask yourself, why support them, if the only good that comes of it is us having to pay an enourmous price for something we arent even responsible, and yet, thats just the beggining.

Thanks for being upset about my fuel-eager D9, really.
Seriously, you are mixing our economy trouble and the freedom they need. The anger Kadhafi has sed years after year has blown, and I wonder how we can just watch the slaughter that is going to happen.
Come on, we all know that Mouamar just desserves to be beaten to death.

Why so angry...not that you're wrong...but wow!

yah i know, i was in a really bad mood at that time.

but still the only reason we just watch is really simple, we cant lose the oil and gas from gaddafi but still we cant go to help a man who was pure evil since his rise to power. both are wrong and at the same time good decisions, so we just wait for the dice.

from Randirs video, is this a cut down PKM?

that's not the reason to start a civil war, that's the reason to pay professionals for "take care' of him.

On TV news they showed a rebel posing and firing a MANPAD launcher from his shoulder, but the RPG-style - HORIZONTALLY.

I hope nobody get hurt from that stunt.

Looks like they've stripped a coax or mounted mg (wich explains the makeshift handguard)...PKM-T.

Oh come on.. really?? Enough with this photojournalist BS/propaganda (the comment is not for you redcoat).

I didn't know they were casting for Mad Max 4 actors.

He looks more like the hipster version of a Libyan rebel.

Ok, you're a Libyan General or Colonal who has sided with the rebels. Everything is in chaos, no one is in charge. What to do? 1st I would contact others like me (wouldn't you?) in the same boat, organise a military group, combine assets, and plan for their use. This takes time to put together and coordinate and position assets. (Maybe a month?)

I would wait for Gadafis forces to reach the doors of Bengazi then attack his overstreached logistics lines (about 750 miles from Tripoli)from the sides and rear, not allowing for reinforcement, resupply or escape. Set up a strong defensive line on the outskirts of Bengazi and surround the remaining pro Gadafi forces and cut them to pieces.

Since we have heard no information about the rebel military side and only seen the Rambo wannabes, could this be happening?

[KoTeMoRe]

Great plan, but what do you do with the Civilian side of the rebellion...

[Gerry301]

Great plan, but what do you do with the Civilian side of the rebellion...

You ask a question that no one has an answer for. The rebels only want Qadafi removed from power. It would depend on who wins, Qadafi or the rebels. The Arab League apparently is siding with the rebels (Ref: Arab League asks UN for 'no fly zone') In a country as divided as Libya at the moment, as well as tribal conflicts and many poor, I would guess a long hard bloody road to recovery.
