Muammar Gaddafi and Libyan crisis

Re: Two Libyan fighter pilots defect, fly to Malta

If it is true that there is fighting between military units, I think civil war is not far-fetched.

Re: Two Libyan fighter pilots defect, fly to Malta

From what I have seen (shocking videos) and reports that comes out from Libyans I would say they are headed for full scale civil war. Ghadafi is using scorched earth policy while the people are picking up arms. The place is also filling up with missionaries. A dead African soldier's body was being moved around by Libyans.
No Arab world will give assylum to Ghadafi after what he has done (maybe Chavez but I doubt it). He and his son are going to fight this to the end.

I don't see how a civil war would solve the problem as the oil isn't necessarily in one area... see below

The Petroleum Geology of Libya

Libya has five major onshore sedimentary basins, they are:

* Sirt Basin
* Murzuq Basin
* Kufra Basin
* Ghadamis Basin
* Cyrenaica Platform
* Tripolitanian Offshore Basin

The main producing basins of Libya are in order of importance the Sirt, Ghadamis, Murzuq and the offshore Tripolitanian basin.

Appears like the country can be divided into two,
thereby financing two dictators with a lifestyle that will keep us less mortals with contempt.

There was also an issue with the tribal nature of the population with regional loyalties.

Looks like our old friend Bob Livingston is not satisfied with just be an agent/shill for Turkey

Photo of one of the defected F1 Mirage from Libya to Malta.....those cluster bombs would have caused a massacre if they were dropped on the people.






I have heard from other Muslims that Libyans are from the true Arabic tribes and they will fight to the end.

I'm taking bets:

4:1 Odds Qaddafi remains in power
6:1 Odds Exiled Libyan Royal Al-Senussi family gets put back into power
10:1 Odds Qaddafi is gunned down

Re: Two Libyan fighter pilots defect, fly to Malta

I cover your losses if you can explain what is behind all of this revelation of Freedom and Democracy (lol) by the Arabs....must be a miracle or something. Lets see, so far Israel is happy, US is happy, Europe is happy, Iran is happy, even Osama and Omar are happy.....all for their own reasons.

Put me down a 20 spot for 10:1
