Gadhafi loyalists keep fighting the rebels all the way to Tripoli. Gadhafi’s resurgence is fueled by militant Toureg tribe, a traditional ally of whoever pays cash, including Al Qaeda.
After fighting Gadhafi for six months and spending billions to install a lame government in Tripoli, NATO failed to spend a few billion dollars to bribe the Touregs away from Gadhafi and Al Qaeda in the Maghreb.
Curiously, Al Qaeda works on both sides: its past affiliates rule Tripoli on behalf of the rebels and NATO, while its other personnel smuggle weapons and drugs with Touregs’ help.
