Libyan rebel military spokesman Ahmed Bani discusses plans to advance on Tripoli on Saturday.
Leaders of Libya’s rebel forces say they are ready to launch an offensive toward Tripoli, the capital city controlled by embattled leader Muammar Qaddafi, from an enclave southwest of the capital.
The announcement came after NATO intensified airstrikes in the west of the country and as the African Union (AU) put forward a plan for peace negotiations and urged its member states not to honor an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant for Colonel Qaddafi.
Rebel spokesman Colonel Ahmed Omar Bani told reporters in Benghazi, the rebel capital in the east, late on Saturday that rebel fighters will advance from their stronghold in the Nafusa mountains within two days, reports the AFP international news service. They will try to recapture territory on the plains, on the road to Tripoli, which could put them within striking distance of the capital.

I think they’ll get clobbered.
I think they’ll get clobbered.
They need heavy weapons.
They need Anderson Cooper on the ground broadcasting 24/7 and several more oppressed lesbian bloggers calling for air strikes and an end to the mass rapes and genocide of the innocent freedom fighters that eat apple pie and listen to Elvis.
Freedom is on the march!
The arab spring is winning the future!
Oh the humanity...
Especially since they’re announcing their offensive beforehand. Ugh.
LOL!
How amusing if the Sudanese sweep up from the south and wipe them out, at the invitation of Gadaffi, though non publicly, perhaps with them promising to support the rebels all the way in until they arrive, at which point they wipe them out.
They can even announce that their purpose there is to protect civilians.
About 2 A10s and 3 Apaches oughta do the trick... Think obama will loan them-?!
They will need air conditioning. It is supposed to be 106 degrees tomorrow and 109 on Tuesday.
OK, it’s Sunday night Eastern Time. What happened in Libya? Is it all over now? Can Obama declare victory and fly his drones home. ;-)
Ok..it’s almost Monday morning now...indeed what’s happened in Libya? Did they sweep or put the broom away?

“They can even announce that their purpose there is to protect civilians.”
And they’d be right. Thousands will die if the rebels try to take Tripoli.
Maybe we snuck some in to them... along with some "advisors".
Now it’s Tuesday evening. Actually it’s Wednesday morning now in Tripoli and nothing has happened so far......
