With the help of thousands of bombing sorties by various NATO air forces our plucky rebels were able to rid their country of their eccentric dictator. Now it seems they're trying to get rid of their newly non-elected National Transitional Council.
A mob of rebels stormed the temporary parliament in Bengazi today. They're pissed off about being side-lined by the new non-elected leadership, most of whom have spent decades living in London and New York until returning recently to help unlock the secret of the missing Gadaffi billions.
As soon as that secret is unlocked most of them can be counted on to return to London and New York, which is what concerns the rebels. They seem to be catching on to the fact that they're just as much the victims of a massive screw-over as was Gadaffi himself.
The Gadaffi-era welfare state, by far the most comprehensive in Africa, lies in ruins. The rule of law, such as it was, is a distant memory. The NATO sugar daddy has found new preoccupations now that Libya's oil is secure.
Give these rebels a few more months and they'll all be Gadaffi loyalists again.
