Holy shit. After six months of fighting and 20,000 deaths (fortunately, very few of them caused by NATO) Gaddafi is about to leave. Muhammad, and Saif al-Islam have surrendered. Muhammad is his first-born and Saif al Gaddafi is probably the most powerful. But Muammar Gaddafi is still defiant. But he knows his time is actually up. There was little resistance as the rebels entered the city. Around 150 people were killed in the fighting. While unfortunate, it is quite low for such an important battle.
Tomorrow I’ll talk about what I think this means for Obama, the US, Libya, the rest of the Middle East, as well as our long-term relationship with the area.
