#1 The Rebs holding "90% of Tripoli" is still NOT holding 100% of Tripoli.

IMO iff the Libyuhn Rebs don't force Uncle Muammar to surrender or flee into self-exile soon, this could end up being ala a MEDIEVAL-ERA CITY SIEGE, e.g. SIEGE(S) OF VIENNA, MALTA, CONSTANTINOPLE, ETC. WHERE UNCLE MUAMMAR MAY STILL BE A PESKY, SERIOUS THORN IN THE SIDE OF THE LRC = LIBYUHN REBELS.

EVERYTHING IN LIBYA DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY GOES THRU THE PORTS OF TRIPOLI - THERE'S NO SUBSTITUTE FOR TRIPOLI IN LIBYA, + THE REBS DON'T HAVE THE MUCHO $$$ ON THEIR OWN TO BUILD ANY ALTERNATE.

Libya's economic "twin" is EGYPT, AKA WHERE THE ANTI-US-WEST, ISRAELI MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD ETAL. IS.
