True, but the Libyan rebels ain’t exactly the Wehrmacht, either.

All of what you guys say is true. The Rebel fighters aren’t being led by Von Manchstein or Heinz Gurdian and it will certainly get hotter in the summertime. With that said, being that the rebel fighters are Libyans, I think they’ll be able to handle the heat. And they don’t need to be goose stepping anytime soon. They have the backing of the whole world, getting supplies and most likely behind the scenes arms. While Gadaffi is slowly being strangled. How long will those mercenaries of his stick around when they’re not getting paid? Having a mercenary force of 20,000 must be getting expensive. He can’t afford to wait it out. IMHO the article is right. It’s only a matter of time before he capitulates. The question is, what atrocities will be committed while he’s hanging onto power.
