War in Oil City

War in Oil City
BREAGA, Fierce fighting forces Libyan leader, Moammar Qaddafi, against the opposition and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) took place in the city of Brega oil, on Tuesday (05/04/2011). Qaddafi is still a strong loyalist and opposition pushed out of the city. That battle on the day keenam.Kota Libyan ports and oil producers are controlled by loyalists to Qaddafi after they seized from opposition forces, Thursday. Since then, by utilizing the help of NATO air strikes, opposition continued to fight for re-Brega, but always failed.

Tuesday morning, targeting rocket base loyalist opposition stronghold in the eastern city gate. Pickup truck fitted with tanks and machine guns or rocket launchers opposition owned burning. Smoke rises. Opposition forces made topsy-turvy.

They ran out of the city scattered under the pouring fire rockets, grenades, and heavy artillery weapons from loyalists. Opposition was pushed back as far as 5 kilometers to the east Brega, toward Ajdabiya. This incident is the first defeat of the opposition in their battle for six days at Brega.

The members of the opposition forces, according to AFP, was pulled back hundreds of their vehicles towards Ajdabiya, 80 miles from Benghazi, a stronghold of opposition defenses in eastern Libya. This incident as well as a step forward though loyalists continued to pressure the air strikes by NATO forces.

The opposition was very poor in terms of weaponry. Not to spread about the latest casualties in the fighting that. Many families in the town of Brega ran and drove their cars to save themselves, also to the east.

"Brega almost empty. There are only a small number of men and boys to keep their homes, "said Sami Ali, the population of Brega. "Our people (opposition) is on the east of the city, but Qaddafi forces opened fire on them from the west," he said.

Qaddafi loyalist troops dare not out of town, for example, to the middle of the desert, to fight for fear of attacks targeted the NATO alliance. Qaddafi change strategies and tactics against the opposition attack which was very limited in resources. Opposition forces made up of newly trained volunteers who hold weapons and very few trained.

Besides in Misrata, Qaddafi also loyalists attacking with heavy weapons and Sarir Misla oilfield, 400 km south of the city of Ajdabiya. Misla and Sarir oilfield supply crude to Tobruk, which is oil refining town 150 km west of the Libyan-Egyptian border. Tobruk, which exports 700,000 from 1.6 million barrels of Libyan oil production per day prior to the crisis, controlled by the opposition.

Qaddafi's military action in attacking the oil fields in a bid to prevent the opposition could sell oil to international markets. After the Transitional National Council (TNC), a container of political opposition, international attention to the increasingly intense opposition.

In western Libya, Qaddafi loyalists kept pounding the city Misrata, 200 km east of Tripoli. The city is surrounded from three directions, namely east, south and west. Thus, Qaddafi troops still remain fangs though 30 percent of NATO's strength has been destroyed. A number of snipers Qaddafi continued to occupy the roof of several buildings in Tripoli.

Qaddafi Not Mubarak, Also Not Saddam

Qaddafi Not Mubarak, Also Not SaddamMoammar Qaddafi is not Hosni Mubarak who chose to resign after facing pressure to resign his subjects.

Mubarak chose to get away to the resort town of Sharm el Sheikh and even now subject to travel bans. He was not allowed to leave Egypt, for treatment though.

Qaddafi would also not be like Saddam Hussein, former Iraqi leader. Saddam, who once dropped the US-led coalition forces, escaped, hid in the bunker, arrested, imprisoned, tried and eventually hanged. Truly tragic fate of former Iraqi strongman. Her children, especially boys, was also killed.

At the time, Saddam Hussein, Moammar Qaddafi, and Hafez al-Assad is the Middle East lions who roar shook the Western world. The three leaders are actually fighting over influence in the Middle East. That's the story of the past.

Until now still rule over Libya's Qaddafi. He was still the supreme ruler of the country in North Africa. Business opposition forces who had the support of Western military power, plus two Middle Eastern countries and is now under NATO command, has not been entirely successful. Is the end result of the resistance who helped NATO opposition? The fall of Qaddafi's regime, a cease-fire, or split into two Libya: Libya's eastern and western Libya, or what?

There is no unity of opinion among coalition forces. President Barack Obama is clearly said, the goal ultimately is the removal Qaddafi. However, he also said the military offensive could not have completed the removal of Qaddafi by itself.

So how do I get rid of Qaddafi? Is when the war was over and Qaddafi remains in power, does not mean that the NATO mission, which continues the mission of the coalition as its support of the UN Security Council mandate, fail?

Meanwhile, the opposition was up to now has not been so solid, not one single leader who could be a handle and a role model. On 22 March, indeed, the so-called national council opposition announced the formation of transitional government under Mahmoud Jibril, a U.S. educated economist who once was an ally of Saif Islam, the son of Qaddafi (Time, April 4, 2011).

However, the board had previously announced that Mustafa Abdel Jalil, former Minister of Justice, who headed the institute "temporary transition." It is unclear, how the relationship and division of tasks and responsibilities between the two men.

In addition, it is unclear who is also the supreme commander of the opposition in the battle against government troops. There is mention of war under the command of General Abdel Fatah leader Younis, former Minister of the Interior. Others call his commander was General Omar Hariri, who had led the failed coup against Qaddafi in 1975. And, still others call Heftir General Khalifa, the new opposition leader returned from exile.

Tripoli is still in the hands of Qaddafi. He will fight tooth and nail to the death. At least that's what he had to say. Reading the history of his life, he was not a quitter loser. So, the story has not ended up here. Qaddafi, once again, not Ben Ali, not Mubarak, and Saddam Hussein nor the tragic end of his life.

The oldest fossils on Earth It's just Crystals Minerals

The oldest fossils on Earth It's just Crystals Minerals
Twenty years ago, scientists praised the important discovery of Earth's oldest fossils found in rocks of Australia. Now, the study was indisputable masterpiece. Why?

Based on recent analysis of microscopic structure, the rocks are considered to contain microbes 3.5 billion years old it was just a series of rock containing the mineral crystals.

The findings suggest that the experts do astrobiologi careful labeling of alien life on a rock on Mars. The proof, scientists still have trouble finding evidence of early life on Earth.

Experts from the University of Kansas, United States, initially did not believe inthe existence of carbon , the materialearly in life , on therocks in the Apex Chert , Plbara ,western Australia.

They then cut the rocks with 300 micron thick, about three times the diameter of human hair, and then studied under a microscope.

Apparently, not the carbon that was found but quartz rock and mineral haematite.

"This is a funny incident in the world of science pengetahuaan when you do something that could change something 180 degrees. We turned to find something more complicated than previously thought," said study co-author, Craig Marshall.
