In Misrata Qs troops have brought the artillery into the city thus risking civilians. They also are using a large number of snipers. These snipers kill anyone they see on the street including women and children. Large numbers of victims with head and shoulder wounds are reported at hospitals. I heard that they have female Serbian mercenary snipers. What is it with Q and his female warriors? Perhaps the Brits can smuggle in a cadre of sniper hunters to even the odds.
Secondly, it is hard to have air superiority over a battlespace covered by a sandstorm. Qs troops have used a sandstorm to cover their reassault on Ajdabia.
It would be very easy to starve Qadaffi’s forces by cutting off their supply lines, but that would require boots on the ground. The Libyan army is stretched for 100s of kilometers along the coast and wouldn’t survive a week if they were cut off from resupply of munitions.
Situation FUBAR, understood.
