The rebel alliance is advancing, Darth Vader is quoted during an interrogation of a captured rebel prisoner "Don't play games with me you weren't on any mercy mission, You are part of the rebel alliance and a traitor! Take her away!"

Imperial General Ghadaffi "If word of this spreads it will generate sympathy in the European Union." Vader~"Leave that to me, send a distress signal saying everybody in Libya has been killed."

So one article I read The Libyan provisional government (REBELS) says they support the ceasefire called by the UN and are not fighting daffy, the next article I read talks about the Rebels advancing and engaging Libyan military forces. Double speak by politicians isn't just a western ideal I guess.

The situation on the ground is confusing. Depending on reports, its either: 1) pro-Khadafi forces were pushed out of Misrata and Ajdabiah; or 2) fighting is still going on in Misrata and Ajdabiah.

One thing which does appear semi-clear is that pro-Khadafi forces were close to Benghazi on saturday, but retreated to Adjabiah following the air strikes. It appears the Rebels pursued them, but were rebuffed in their attempts to take Adjabiah.

Not bad for a little country (still) without a "elected" government
