I think I do recall correctly, actually. It's all in that other thread, including my prediction that one of the 'borders' was going to be between Brega and Ajdabiya...

Also, it's not a war per se, but a fairly low key rebellion with mostly static lines where the civilians in the most part have fled the fighting, hence the relatively low civilian casualties, and one of the most populous parts of Libya (Benghazi - Tobruk) has been left virtually unscathed, or actually completely untouched from the fighting.

All for a fairly cheap campaign of a few Nato sorties where the members get to use up all their back catalogue of old munitions without the single loss of life to their forces as far as I know of. How cool is that!?

Of course, I would have done it differently up till now and it would have been cheaper still for the allies, but then when you have amateurs in charge...

You OTOH wanted to stand idly by and risk a massacre in Benghazi and the country as a whole and let Gadaffi retake the country and mete out a brutal revenge - because that was what was days from happening! Thank god you're not in charge...
