There are three undisputed facts for the time being. There were at least some special ops in the city whose goal was to assist the landing wave. Let's think it was a FIRST wave for the time being.
Second: some people with tri-colored flags were able to get through to the city suburbs at least. We'll talk about it later. Third: there were very big inconsitencies in the TV reports from Tripoli.
There's no question right now that the task of elimination of these diversionary groups was assigned to Khamis's brigade. Brigade is rather a grand term, its numbers were about 7 thousand people in the beginning of the conflict, right now there's hardly a half of that. Nevertheless, 3 - 3.5 thousand people belonging to one of the best regiments of the Libyan army represents a formidable force. And they're loyal which is probably more important than anything in this chaos. Obviously NATO took this into account and the appearance of the bandits on the suburbs had probably the only reason to force Khamis to withdraw its regiment from the frontline. The most recent communications from there stated that he was somewhere near Zliten (about 2-3 hours of forced march from Tripoli). In other words, the report stating that some commanding officer had betrayed Gaddafi and opened the front is, most probably, a lie. There's other reason to consider it a lie though:
The landing operation undoubtedly had the one and one only goal - the elimination of Gaddafi. There simply no other military goals there. If the commander of Tripoli defences had defected this would give NATO the valuable information about Gaddafi's whereabouts since as a commander of the defence he simply had to report to him daily and it's hard to believe that he was brought to Gaddafi blindfolded each time. He must have been within a small circle of people who knew exactly where Gaddafi is. NATO however arranges a bloodbath in the city and bomb large areas - apparently not being aware of Gaddafi's true location. There's a conclusion - there were no defection. The same reason applies to Gaddafi's sons - they too had to know where their father was.


The second conclusion: it is obvious that the landing force's chances of survival are minimal. Therefore its task was to arrange some bit atrocities in the city which technically was quite easy. Tripoli is located on the coast and that infamous Green square is quite close to the sea. There are always many people there and therefore a landing force suddenly appearing there could quite literally 'cut' through the crowd. Why this was necessary?
For a 'picture'. So that the world would see the victims. Many victims. In order for the Libyan government themselves to annouce these wild figures. And we also need videos for proof. They have them and they broadcast them a wave after wave. And in any video - Tripoli is bathed in city lights while NATO bombs gas and power stations and the main problem there is the lack of power. How so, if recharging a cell phone is a big problem there?


Libya is nearly cut off from Internet, but nevertheless all videos appear regularly on YouTube, how so?
Look closer on these videos - compare the date the video was made and the date it was uploaded. I'm sure you'll find many inconsistencies there too. It appear there is somewhere a working time machine.


We already know about these decorations built in Quatar for military training - see the pic, you'll see where half of these reports were made.
