66. You would think they would choose surrender over the desert
Escaping South is not really an option. If NATO took out their vehicles, most of the soldiers would die in the desert. If the Rebels have cut off the retreat to Sirte, that would be tremendous news, but you think that Gaddafi's troops would attack out to the West rather than get pinned down in Brega.

There is another tweet on ShababLibya that says NATO has asked the rebels to retreat back to Ajdabiya in advance of a significant NATO attack on Brega. For the last few days many of the twitter world and educated journalists have predicted a collapse of the Gaddafi front in Brega. It may be happening.
