Zitan Rebel commander wants direct communication with Nato, that is make sense and right, why he has to go through Bangazi– Bangazi tell Nato – Nato bombing Zintan. Why not Zinta – Nato? Every minutes is cost of human life, unnecessary chain of command is bottle neck of operation. Direct communication is more accurate information to where to bomb. I am very frustrated this unnecessary chain of command, while people of life on the line.
"Why can't NATO do an aid flight (to Yafran)?" asked Colonel Juma Ibrahim, a senior rebel in Zintan and former MiG 25 fighter pilot in the Libyan air force. "It's very easy," he said. "Gaddafi's forces pull back as soon as they hear the planes."
Why is not still arming the Rebel? Some people keep saying they are afraid of arming the Revolutionary because some of them are may be al Qaeda, the thing is they missed point, even if they have (minority?) after all of this they won’t end up the al Qaeda terrorist*, this conflict drags on yes, may be, but now we can see difference ball game. Libya is not same as Afghanistan, Libyan rebels are urban westernised, 80% literacy well educated, their aspirations is not al Qaeda but their own independent freedom liberty, western system democracy. End of the day Nato-Allies are concerning of the arming the Rebel because of the al Qaeda reasons they are missing the very point.
* This is bit of detouring, but I think if al Qaeda wants to survive after this Arab Spring, they have to rebrand themselves. Without rational, against Westerners and American is like a blind man with a gun , as this technology ages everyone access every information, they can not convince tech-savvy people against Western and American without rational argument, telling them they are imperialist oppressors so you have to hate the Yankee et al. All the young people who raise and against their tyrants they know what they don't have. Arab Spring, they are as same as rest of world population, want to better future, able to compete their global counterpart not ending up bombers or assassins, against western but equality and freedom, as they know that is they didn’t have. If they are not doing anything now not only their generation but their children and their childern will also slaves of authoritarian tyrants - their minds on Google, and decent life style and the world etc… so guns, hates and killings are not for the Arab Spring aspiration but freedom, equality and human dignity are...
P.S. Any way The NATO is NATO, ofcourse everyone is not perfect, that is you and I too. NATO is doing is A GREAT JOB! THANK YOU! We are just frustrated that is all. Why gaddafi is still breathing while so many young precious life lost?
