#4  Given the fact that Libya has all that oil, and less than a tenth of the population of Egypt

Wouldn't surprise me if Egypt annexes eastern Libya in the name of Pan-Arab Nationalism, protecting the revolutionaries, etc.

#3  conserve ammunition

At this point they don't have much of an option.

#2  Excellent.

Nature abhors a vacuum. Water finds its own level. And all that.

Hey, Q'Daffy. Those footsteps you hear. This time they're real.

#1  My advice to rebels with guns would be to use cover and concealment, stay calm, take good aim, conserve ammunition, make every shot count. They should try to avoid the "death blossom" of everyone firing fully automatic in all directions. Yes, the adrenaline will be pumping, but stay calm, stay focused, one shot, one kill.

A group of 10 men staying cool and making their shots count can be more effective than 1000 men firing at random.
