I find it odd that none of you people have opened a thread about this new and dramatic development in Libya:
http://rt.com/news/libya-split-cyrenaica-autonomy-971/
Hopefully, NTC will now be so weakened that Tripoli can be liberated as well, and then the new republic of Cyrenaica will have to talk to the Jamahyiria-government in the south, hopefully finding a way to reunite the country.
Being big is better then being small, and Libya -with its 5 million citizens - are small enough as it is.
Edit:
Here is a map that explains the situation as I have understood it:

NTC control roughly that area called "Tripolitania", were the US now landed have ground-troops to assist them. Jamahyira are strong in the area called "Fezzan", and Cyrenaica is for the time being a independent nation.
