Libya rebels lose almost all ground won with West's help
Rebels are requesting more help in Libya, as Gadhafi's ground forces pushed the rebels back to where they were at the start of this fighting. The people fighting for Gadhafi are much more well trained and they are using better weapons. A senior U.S. intelligence official said that the government forces in Libya are hiding themselves by using common vehicles with machinery attached instead of huge tanks. This makes it harder to see from an aircraft. NATO stepped in attacking from the air, but it hasn't been enough to be effective for the rebels. As of now it appears that the rebels are not in a good place. They have withdrew from fighting until they can come up with a more strategic way to come back. I can't imagine what it must be like to have the same ruler for as long as Gadhafi has been in power in Libya. All these rebels want is change and I can understand that. Before they started fighting, they should have thought everything through. They must have been aware that the opposing force was highly trained and had better equipment. If they would have strategized before fighting and before getting other countries involved, maybe the turnout would be more in their favor. http://http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42334849/ns/world_news-mideastn_africa/
