THE DANGER OF HEROES
It appears Kadafi's forces have temporarily adapted to the Air Cover.
Small teams that move out looking like the rebel forces.
The teams converge on a point do a quick salvo fire of mortars and then move
out again.
It sound as if they are spreading out along the sides of the highways to
keep any aircraft from being able to take out more than one or two vehicles at a time.

Untrained Rebels don't know the difference between mortar fire and tank /
artillery fire.. hence panic sets in and they give up ground.
The NATO forces have a great deal of Desert to cover with a limited number of aircraft.

That makes it very difficult to spot, properly identify and engage known targets.
What the Mad Dog is doing is creating a Rebel Stampede!!!
Kadafi's forces are making a lot of noise and the Rebels panic!
The Rebels are going to need someone or some group, WARNING!!!, to help them understand what is happening to them.
As long as they believe columns of tanks are coming at them, they will
continue to run.
This tactic will become ineffective if the Rebels take a defensive line and
wait till they actually can see what the enemy is doing.
Here is the problem.
Who are the 'Tactical Advisors' for the Rebels right now????
If not our troops, then you can bet the 'Radicals' will fill this void.
That will make them 'heroes' in the eyes of the young Rebels.
Heroes are followed when the fighting is done.

Six months from now the conversation can go something like this. (Radical / Hero) " I would like you to meet a friend of mine who can help you with all these issues of rebuilding Libya's Government. He is a good man and I think he can help you".
When someone questions why the young Rebels are listening to this new person, the answer will be,
" I owe him my life".
