Qaddafi Strikes Back

According to Colonel Jack Jacobs, Libyan strong man Moammar Qaddafi’s “forces have been systematically routing the rebels.” The Empire has won this round; will the plucky rebels find the necessary allies to turn the tables?

Follow me on this. In the third* Star Wars movie, the rebels found a band of small, furry, feisty Ewoks who allied with them to defeat the numerically and technologically superior forces of the Empire. Who might the Libyan rebels find to assist them in this, their time of dire need? Well, think about it: who nearby are small, furry, and feisty?

The Israelis, that’s who! The Israelis should invade Libya on behalf of the rebels, saving the day, putting the Emperor in his place once and for all.

Which makes about as much sense as the US doing essentially just that**.

D.

*Talking the original trilogy here. Don’t even get me started about that other abomination.

**And we’re not as cute as Ewoks Israelis.

Obviously Israeli. The magazine is called Sabra, isn't it?
