I never thought I would root for Gadaffi.
This thing is beyond stupid. He had finally been contained and was even a pipeline of cooperation.
All he was doing was strutting around with hot chicks.
Just why is this war necessary?
"The Gadhafi regime’s central bank — unlike the U.S. Federal Reserve, which is owned by private shareholders — was among the few central banks in the world that was entirely state-owned. At the moment, it is unclear exactly who owns the rebel’s central bank or how it will be governed."
“I never thought I would root for Gadaffi.”
Wild, isn’t it?
But who thought we would ever have a bisexual, Leninist Moslem as President of the United States?
GourmetDan has a great link about the central bank.
since then, they’ve been recognized, and given 30 billion.

Libya Rebels Get Formal Backing, and $30 Billion
The move gives the rebels access to $30 billion in frozen Libyan assets in the United States and increases pressure on Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi to resign.

“The State Department has signed off on papers that allow the Libyan Embassy in Washington to reopen under control of the opposition Transitional National Council and give staffers access to roughly $13 million in mission assets that had been frozen.”
...but the Rebels are still losing ground.
so i’m betting that with the Italian crisis on top of Greece and Portugal, that EUROPE collapses before Gaddafi.
