Don't know if they can hold on to it, but it looks promising so far.

No, I don't think this is the end. The media were saying that the al-CIAda rebels were going to take Tripoli very soon and in a matter of days, all the way back when this "kinetic peace action" started

We're dropping bombs on them and accidently killing civilians in the name of humanitarian aid. They must accept humanitarian aid or else. Course, this "humanitarian aid" is not really that at all. It's a globalist banker engineered crisis

Promising for who?
When Mohmar is gone the country will be stable and have a fairytale ending?
Like Iraq? Some how I doubt this will come to pass.
And the Miilions if not billions of dollars we wasted in this effort?

I'm very pro-neutrality, but I can't go along with those antiwar folks who want to argue that Libya is another Iraq. Our involvement has been minimal. I would've preferred regional states like newly-freed Egypt and Tunisia to do more heavy lifting on behalf of the rebels than they have.

Please, let Libya come to an end soon, or else I may have to call it a war.

The "promising end" to the Egyption riots has turned into a terrorist attack in Israel today. That is the end these "rebels" want.
