Sorry I'm not up to date. Good guy or bad guy?

Re: Tripoli About to be Taken Over by Rebels
Getting conflicting reports on Gaddafi so I dropped that from the title. Heard his son was captured and he was killed. Not sure now.

Re: Tripoli About to be Taken Over by Rebels
There is speculation that he may have fled to Algeria, perhaps weeks ago. Who knows, but it's looking doubtful that he's still in Tripoli.

Frying pan - fire.
Things won't be getting better any time soon but at least they have an opportunity to become a Democracy. |

I think that is the idea, get Western boots on the ground to physically take over the nation ala Afghanistan and dictate by setting up a puppet regime. Those loyalists aren't going away, and a lot of Libyans will join them if the new regime is forced to take IMF/ World Bank dictates and end the subsidies and the nice check they get from the oil profits. Oil profits that will now go mostly to BP and out of the country, where before most of the profits stayed in Libya. Many Libyans might be rejoicing now, but in 5-10 years they will be looking back at the good ole days of Qadaffi. Food prices and gas prices are really going to rise for those people. I mean 15 cents for a loaf of bread, free housing for newlyweds, free college and a car, etc. Cheap utilities, that will no doubt be forced by the IMF/World Bank to be privatized for profit, which is what all this crap is about. |

Re: Tripoli About to be Taken Over by Rebels
Related oil futures trading * 1% lower. Markets seem to view Qaddafi overthrow as a positive for supply.

Re: Tripoli About to be Taken Over by Rebels
It's about time that the regime change was completed and the bloodshed (hopefully) was finally brought to an end.
