The account of the female warriors from Colombia came this week as rebels identified a host of foreigners fighting for the Gadhafi regime or supplying the dictator with valuable material. Mercenaries are paid up to $1,000 a day, according to some reports.

The rebels said they have captured Algerian mercenaries and claim that the authoritarian government of Belarus has sent more than 100 military advisers to help Col. Gadhafi. They said the regime also has received aid from supporters in Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Niger and Ukraine.

Algerian and Belarusian officials have denied the rebels’ allegations. Officials with other governments cited by the rebels could not be reached for comment.

A U.S. official, meanwhile, said he doubts that Col. Gadhafi is receiving significant foreign help.

“Gadhafi is basically on his own. He isn’t receiving much help - financial, military or otherwise - from his neighbors, even those deemed his friends,” the U.S. official said on the condition of anonymity.

However, two Western officials who spoke on background said the mercenaries are likely fighting because of their own individual reasons and not at the behest of another country.

So, Gaddhafi has a thing for hot women with guns. I honestly can’t fault him for that...

I’d hit it... if it didn’t hit me first. :)

The prospect of being killed by an infidel female has got to be really demoralizing for these jihadists Obama is supporting in Libya.

Ooops! I read that wrong. Never mind.
