Comments on day by day, hour by hour news from the front is empirical drift. This repeated humanitarian stampede of the u.s. left into the hands of capital is a long-range problem which will remain whatever happens in the current campaign of the Endless War* to control the world for Capital. It is and will remain a major barrier to the emergence of a powerful left movement here.

As far as I know Gadaffi controls the whole of Fezzan a fact acknowledged by coalition bombing of Sabeh no doubt attempting to weaken Gadaffi's defenses.

Yes, but those two cities contain a quarter of the country's population, no?
And that leaves undecided control most of the land, where there are no cities, away from the coast.
