This could either be the end game or kick-off.

German television interviews these rebels daily, and I have yet to see someone over 20. They're all children really. Many appear to be non-Libyan
There is a guy that the German foreign minister talks to regularly who seems to have some credibility.
But with regime change as drastic as this its all about arse-covering and jockeying for position at the trough at the moment. We'll have a fresh crop of Libyan oligarchs in no time. Those politicos who covered their arses most successfully (with hard currency) will assume positions of power in the new regime. The rebels will be paid off with new toys. For a while complete chaos will reign. And then someone so thoroughly corrupt and ruthless that he can keep all the other contenders in line and also secure a steady flow of Libyan oil to Europe will emerge to take the helm. Then NATO will pat itself on the back, and say it was worth it.
Something like that....
