And the West's plan is to milk it now.

Exactly, Gaddafi was just starting to use the money for investment and infrastructure and someone felt a need to hijack it.

Apparently Ghaddafi's son who was expected to succeed him owns a fund worth $100 billion and has ties with the Rothschilds among others: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-12626320

Some of these bad deals fell through, including ones with Bernie Madoff and Saif's close friend Nat Rothschild, but other bad deals were done and ended up costing the LIA millions.

The Arab League are a joke and whilst I suppose that Egypt could impose a no-fly zone. Intervention isn't on the cards, at least for the time being.

It's not hard to see why Libya's so dysfunctional. As the country is full of third world, social parasites and undesirables. Apparently their are 2 million, foreign "workers" in Libya (mostly Africans, Indians and Egyptians). Who get paid $200 a month from the Libyan state in hand outs to lazy around.

Looks like Gadhafi's army has some mean looking ice cream trucks

Looks more like a trailer at the back end of a SUV or Blazer.

Which flag is this rebel flying?

The flag is the one which was in use before Gaddafi came to power.
