NATO said in a press release on Oct 4, 2011 that it has conducted a total of 24,789 sorties, including 9,240 strike sorties, since March31 in Libya. If that's what they are saying we can take it that their activity has been much more extensive than that.
Meanwhile at least 10,000 anti-aircraft missiles are lost in Libya, said Admiral Da Paola , Chairman of the Military Committee comprising the heads of staff of NATO countries, quoted by the German weekly Der Spiegel. This represents a serious threat to civil aviation and the weaponry could get out of Libya and being in the wrong hands as far as NATO is concerned. Of the 20,000 SAM-7 purchased by Muammar Gaddafi, "more than 14,000 were either used or destroyed or have become obsolete." Nearly 500 were found by the forces of CNT and will all be neutralized, said a report in Der Spiegel at the weekend.
The IMF and the World Bank is waiting with open arms to help rebuild Libya.

Then the pillaging really begins.
This scenario has been played over and over again for decades.
And the hits just keep on comin'.
