As for this item:

In a UW environment which is in the overt military action phase like this one, every enemy force is a potential source of resupply - win the battle and win the supplies. Hell of an incentive to fight and win, isn't it?

This made me wonder... If the US and/or other foreign nations begin supplying the rebels do you think we would see a shift in support from the pro Qadafi forces? Possibly due to the fact the rebels are believed to be just holding on, without current US involvement? Thus they believe they will overthrow the rebels. With US support the pro Qadafi forces may see Qadafi as the weaker player. Or maybe their loyalty is deeper than just who is the stronger player? Just a question for you guys who know more. Something I've been pondering.
