Libya; Development of the P.L.A.

We must wonder at the formation of a populist revolution before a guerilla army could be put together in Libya. This seems an era of non-violent revolution with support from the U.S. administration and the U.N., with the caveat that if the dictator doesn't give up the U.S. may accomplish the coup de grace with a flock of cruise missiles at the dictator ion order to spare civilian lives.

A humanitarian intervention of relief may be the sort of thing that the Nobel Peace Prize komiteh awarded President Obama the prize for on credit. Yet there are a myriad of potential ground war trails the potential civil war could take. Some lucky Libyan revolutionaries may have the chance to shoot stingers at jet aircraft or even just .50 cal machine guns (in most civilian milieus a criminal offense)-that can be better than goose hunting I would guess.

Tripoli and various military bases for attack on rebel cities would be on the exterior lines and far away. As rebels become more organized and discover more weapons caches formerly owned by the Dictator they may become a well-organized militia able to swat incoming jets from the sky perhaps lining them up as they fly low over the desert.

Cell phones and advance hidden scouts may call the Sam launcher guy in the minaret to alert incoming hostiles. Long desert supply lines may make the Dictator vulnerable to forces without fuel or whatever. More military officers may defect to the rebel cause in order to have job security in The New Libyan Order. These are trying times for Americans to watch from abroad as they love liberty and equal rights so much-nearly as much as football and good paying jobs.

Probably the Obama administration should continue to do nothing to interfere with the natural social readjustment of power in Libya-well maybe send some pork ribs via parachute or containers of Gatorade to rebel held cities. Crackers and peanut butter is better than nothing, and helps keep the fighting spirit together.

Maybe Sect of State Clinton could deliver some loads of Gideon's Bible's to besieged Libyan rebel held cities to lift the spirits of the lost. I suppose rebels will seek for some way to destroy Tripoli’s electric power supply, and the United States has no obligation to help repair that while the Dictator is still not on trial for the Lockerbie bombing of the Pan Am flight so many years ago as was revealed recently.
