I&#8217;m aware that The Washington Institute describes the situation as a two-front war with the western front having several &#8220;compartments.&#8221; Over the last ten days the situation has clarified. In a column I wrote this past Tuesday I suggested Gadhafi now has five fronts. Cyrenaica (eastern Libya), the Nafusa Mountains (Berber region south of Tripoli) and Misurata (besieged western city) are the most active. Misurata could be described as a compartment but it is so vital and requires so many resources on Gadhafi&#8217;s part that you can make a case it is (at the moment) Gadhafi&#8217;s main effort. In March, Gadhafi suppressed uprisings in the western cities of Zuwara and Zawiya (near the coast, between Tripoli and the Tunisian border). However, opposition simmers in the region. He must assign police and garrison forces to watch the region. So that&#8217;s four ground fronts that require attention.
