Libya (Merged)

[Ducado]

They need arms if they are to do anything. Every other day they seem to take towns and then retreat again and lose them, then take them and lose them again. I have rarely known a pendulum swing back and forth so much.

Of course we have Nato involved now, but there are some major players involved already and when they are then Nato and other organisations like the UN can quickly be rendered pretty much irrelevant (see Iraq war).

We'll see what happens but surely it's only a matter of time before the rebels are covertly armed.

One of the problems in the last few days has been that there has been too much cloud cover and a huge sand storm, so Air power is not so good (especially when they want to reduce civilian casualties) Gadafies forces have took advantage of this.

For some reason the rebels have also deployed their real soldiers now, and they are able to hold our much better

I find it ironic that the Government keep going on about the people in Libya should decide how their country should be ran, who should be in charge etc. Fair enough, but tell me how many people in our country wanted a coalition? Its ok when you manipulate the system to get power.
