NATO rebels in Libya now fighting for pussy

So what’s going on in the world of our Libyan rebels these days?

There’s a certain paucity of news, wouldn’t you agree?

The BBC took a brief peek behind the curtain of silence with a short story on their evening newscast last night.

Seems the various rebels are still fighting one another. Every faction is on the side of freedom, of course, and the guys they’re shooting at are hard-core Gadaffi loyalists. This will be going on till they run out of ammo, which could take years.

In the meantime, the new normal in Libya seems to be, well, gangs of armed men shooting at other gangs of armed men.

Then the reporter cuts to an interview with some hapless “senior commander” who complains that it’s impossible to get the gangs of armed men to follow orders. Good luck with that!

Then we’re out in the field, interviewing the leader of a group of armed men who apparently have another group of armed men holed up in some little town near Tripoli. The leader, kitted out in a natty uniform topped off with a jaunty red beret, tells the reporter they won’t let up till they get what they want.

“And what is it you want?” enquires the reporter.

“We want their women!”

And that’s what the struggle for freedom and democracy has come down to in Libya.
