Libyan Rebels Fire Military Advisors

The Libyan Provisional Government announced in Benghazi today that they would no longer need the services of Western advisors who have been acting as consultants for military strategy and tactics. The advisors, who were part of a team sent by the Risk Institute, a Washington-based think-tank, have been blamed for many of the missteps and errors that have characterized the Libyan rebel strategy. The rebel group has been increasingly frustrated by the stalemate brought on by the rigid strategy that requires the rebels take and hold Australia, New Guinea and Indonesia before they advance on Tripoli.
“How are we supposed to get to Australia from Tobruk?” asked Libyan rebel leader Omar Ali Sanussi who asked that his name be withheld. “We don’t even have boats or a dotted line representing sea transport.”
A spokeslady for the Parker Brothers, the shadowy millionaires who are said to be the chief funders of the conservative Risk Institute, released a statement that stood by their advisors. “We believe the Australia strategy to be the most sound way of keeping the rebels supplied with a constant, if small, amount of reinforcements every turn.”
