Tripoli is that away

Turned on the News last night and streaking across the screen were 100s of p/u trucks with weapons mounted and fighters hanging from the trucks bed, and cars with occupants shooting there weapons up in the air from open windows, leaving one to believe the kinetic military maneuver in Libya (aka as war) was coming to and end. But they were heading in the wrong direction...mass strategic repositioning (aka flat mass retreat). Retreating rebels were yelling no ammo, no big guns, no gas, no food, no CC, no close air support on Tuesday. So NATO or the US until Wednesday (today) when NATO takes over, lobbed in 10s of tomahawks and flew scores of sorties to slow down Gaddafi Libyan advancing forces. The rebels are the guys we (State @ WH)back carte blanche* with air power, even though intelligence reports their ranks have been infilitrated with al-Qaida, and other radical Muslums, including dozens of Hatfields and McCoys families(this is rival tribal terrority). Gosh, the war only cost YTD as of 03/29/11,(just 11 days) but $550M split: 60% mumitions, $40% personel. Once NATO takes over US cost drops to only $40M/mo. ,for only the lord knows, how long. Some project the US total cost to top $1 T and our Treasury is empty. * Hillbillery thinks UN Resolution 1973 allows NATO to arm the rebels???
