calls for all necessary measures to be taken, how do you measure the resolve of the international community? what are we talking about here? i don t think we ll see ground forces go into libya, but i think we ll see air strikes not just to have a no-fly zone, but hopefully against his tank columns and artillery and his troops on the ground so that the rebels can try and retake some of the territory they recently had. it s unfortunate this resolution didn t come sooner in order to help the rebels out. rick: what do you think would be the first step and how quickly do you think we would see it. we don t have any reaction from the united states or great britain or france. how long do you think qaddafi buys with this cease-fire until we see military action take place? this whole point in doing
