CNN's Ben Wedeman tweets some bad news from Brega and Ras Lanuf.
8.54pm: The see-saw battle along the Libyan coastline seems to be heading eastwards again, as most news organisations are reporting a flight by rebel fighters and the towns of Ras Lanauf and Bin Jawad are falling back into the hands of the pro-Gaddafi forces.
Here's a map to help the geographically challenged like me:

I used to play a computer game Desert Fox...Rommel Africa..
If either side needs me, I can take Tobruk.
Probably the Kaddafi loyalists are pretending that they are rebels and calling in air strikes against the REAL rebels.
I wonder if they’ve switched to civilian vehicles ... something seems to have changed ...
Brilliant strategy by Obozo. Will he now, “kill them all”?
We’ll see how the French Ground Troops work first ... (/sarcasm)
11th, what do the colors signify?
It's time to make history; send in the first all-gay battalion.
Oooh...the French and the gays. I can see the headliner now. Desert Passion: Frenchie Frenches Mary...
and the camo couture is simply to die for!
I think it's Green VS Brown - Green are the Rebel controlled Areas ...
Wait my bad - BROWN are the Rebel Controlled areas ...
From The Telegraph report:
"We are not really sure if the people of Bin Jawad are with us or not this time," he added. "
Daffy KMA'd them.
It is very likely that NATO will start murdering the civilians in Bin Jawad because they do not support Al Qaida.
Thank you.
And this is bad, why? Do we know who the rebels are? What they stand for?
Khaddafi is at least a devil we know.
More likely the rebels have realized that they can probably get the puddinheaded Americans to give them arms and weapons if they “need” them to succeed. These can be sent to their allies in Afghanistan to kill American troops while the Libyan insurgents “struggle” and milk our country for more support.
We have handed the rebels tremendous leverage to extract arms and concessions from the United States lest we suffer embarassment from their defeat. They may be barbaric but they aren’t the stupid ones here.
Now Misrata has been cut off from their supply lines. So NATO has to decide what to do now.
Do the French have Marines ???
Thanks.
