Here is another interesting FR post. Apparently Kuwait is going to give $180 million dollars to the rebels for “employee salaries”. ;-) Glad our 1990 investment in Kuwait is paying off a little.

The news garnered from different sites seem to agree on current conditions in Misrata. I see nothing unreasonable with your analysis.
