Its an interesting read, though it does seem to cater to those who have little understanding of military equipment

Most of his Military Equipment is so out dated?
That any InfrantryMan in the U.S. Forces (And most likey other Forces) could destroy them at a very safe distance.
If the Rebels are armed with the same dated weapons?
They have a tough fight ahead of them unless they used the InterNet and
modified thier stuff.
They most probably have workshops set-up to produce/repair weapons by now also.
I'm interested in Who is leading this whole effort?
:hmmm:
You need a Chain of Command to support, supply, and organize things.
Wageing War is a Bitch of a problem!

Obviously pretty outdated but Gaddafi has the best of what is available in Libya and in overwhelming numbers :hmmm:

Check the new used TLAM MOD IV / E fired by the first ever action use of the coverted Ohio Class Missiles Submarine.

If we gave these guys a little more air support Qaddafi would be finished.

The article failed to mention the Frigate and Corvette the rebels captured. Those could be useful in attacking Tripoli which is on the coast.

Then what? Just hope we leave the country to them or let the French run it. Don't need another war we can't get out of.

How about we do something like this... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Plan)
