* SAME [StrategyPage] KADDAFI HAS A KILLER PLAN THAT JUST MIGHT WORK.

ARTIC:

> KADDAFI, + [waffle-happy? = anti-NFZ]ARAB LEAGUE have TIME on their side.
> US = USDOD CANNOT STAY OPER TOO LONG IN LIBYUH, as per prior committals to IRAQ + AGHANISTAN [AFPAK] + BUDGET DEFICIT WOES.
> NATO"s Euro-members are LONG-USED TO THE USA BEING THE TOP/PRIMARY LEADER.

* CHINESE MILITARY FORUM [old] > NYT: NORTH KOREA SUGGESTS LIBYA SHOULD KEEP ITS NUCLEAR WEAPONS, arguing that Gaddafi = Libyuh were foolishly duped by the USA + POTUS DUBYA [GW = Global Warming] back in 2003.

* SAME CMF > CHINA WAS CLOSER TO REBELLION TEN YEARS AGO, under the tenure of Jiang Jemin. China's security budget exceeds its defense budget for the first time under Hu Jintao, + which shows that China is more concerned more wid GROWING INTERNAL INSTABILITY than External Enemies.
