Libyan Civil War Megathread

[Admiral Yi]

Read in the FT that Kaddafi may be running out of FX.  Black market rate has jumped 30% and people are lining up for bread.

[derspiess]

reminds me of the .ru news reporting during the 2nd gulf war. THE AMERICANS HAVE BEEN DRIVEN BACK

And the classic,"Baghdad will be a Stalingrad for American forces."

And the classic 'the Fedayeen Saddam drove the 3rd division back in middle of a dust storm!'.

Man, I had forgotten about all that shit.  Wonder if there's a repository of some sort for all the mis-reporting that took place.  My mother in law called up at one point to tell me how concerned she was that the US was losing

Agedabia falls to Gadhafi's forces.

The defenses didn't even last a day. Next week in Tobruk!

I hope the rebel scum didn't fuck up Leptis Magna.

Soon it will be time for me to switch sides, but I kinda don't want to.  Gadhafi's craziness is starting to grow on me.

I wish I could buy myself a country...

I'm kinda hoping for a badass battle in Tobruk complete with old Aussies giving it one last go in their dusty old Ford Dingoes.

The brits will of course sacrifice their colonial troops while theirs cower away from the enemy.

The coolest ending to this uprising/civil war EVAR would be if Patton came barrelling into Libya from the Tunisian border.

LIKE SHIT THROUGH A GOOSE.

Rebels need more Toyotas.  I wish Obama had kept his goddamn mouth shut.  Now when the Colonel wins he'll be pissed as us again.  I mean, we just fixed relations with Libya.

If the Saudis can intervene in bahrain I think it is only fair that the forces of liberation in Tunisia and Egypt intervene in Libya.

An Egyptian division could end this in two weeks.
