The Turkish foreign chief threatened Assad a few days ago:

But he seems to have walked back from this.

Exactly. The things I saw seemed

The Turks don't like waves of refugees - especially Kurds. It destablises their more sensitive areas.

1832: Paul Wood BBC News, Benghazi

Jubilant crowds in Benghazi celebrated the passing of Col Gaddafi's rule with volleys of automatic fire. But later, here in the birthplace of the revolution, there was a more sober warning of the dangers posed by the victory unfolding in the capital. The leader of the National Transitional Council, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, said he was worried there could be revenge attacks. If military commanders ignored him and carried out reprisals, he said, he would resign - a threat which gives a glimpse of the tensions within a movement now on the brink of forming a new government.

There are reports of fighting on the outskirts of Tripoli.

Good time to pull the US out.

TheMercenary keeps making a claim that is proven by nothing but his accusations. If Americans are in combat, TheMercenary proves his claims with facts and numbers. Necessary for political handlers (ie Limbaugh) to brainwash their disciples. They just believe what they are told rather than always demand facts.

One of us knew Saddam's WMDs were not proven by facts. The other knew it must be true because he automatically believed what George Jr, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al (extremists from the Project for a New American Century) told him what to believe. A responsible person demands supporting facts - the reasons why - before making such claims. TheMercenary keeps making those combat claims (even back on 2 July) without any proof other than Limbaugh who says, "Trust me".

Word is Kaddafi is hours from being drive from Tripoli. Now some far more important questions will be answered. First, where will he and his peers go? Second, and more important, was this war long enough for the various rebel factions to build a unifying structure and relationships? To be honest, I fear not. But we have little reasons to answer with certainty either way.

BTW, this may result in a ten cent (or larger) reduction in gasoline prices by late fall. It will take some months to restore oil production.
