There aren't so many military air bases in Libya, I understand Benghazi/Benina airfield has already been put out of action, and watching TV today they're getting well organised in Benghazi recruiting and training up a military force to take the madman and his forces on.

If one thinks about it they didn't require international help when the Lockerbie bomber returned to Libya, they were happy enough to rub our faces in it then, some are asking for uinternational help now but it seems they're also preparing to sort the madman out for themselves.

I did have to smile though, there's a significant munitions stockpile near Ajdabiya, Gaddafi keeps sending the air force across to bomb it and the crews keep missing the target ..... One does have to ask how significant a NFZ might be as it seems the air force aren't taking their orders too seriously anyway?
