#1 This is his support "rathole" city. Funds, thugs, and bugs com from within. It is a supply route between Benghazi and Tripoli. Kind of an important battle per sae.This is the one to watch.
Splits the country into 2.

#2 I've recently done some checking around Sirte/Surt, to see what's there. There's a HUGE airfield, protected by at least four SA-2 sites, one or more SA-3 sites, and at least one SA-4 site. There's a large ammo dump to the south of the city, plus two HUGE tents in a fenced compound. In fact, there are more than 40,000 acres of fenced compounds around and to the south of the city. If the rebels can take the area, they'll probably have enough ammo for the next 300 years - IF any of it works. There also appears to be an SA-5 site, but the equipment I can see doesn't appear to match the site. I also found what could POSSIBLY be one chemical-warfare weapons storage site, but it's quite different than any I've seen before.

#3 Its a good call to tie down Daffys hometown. Definitely upping the ante and creating awareness amongst Daffy thugs and supporters that their regime is tettering
