we are getting reports of supplies of food and medicine dwindling. bill: dan springer is streaming live from benghazi. reporter: there was a meeting yesterday. we got our first looks on libyan tv of qaddafi in almost 3 weeks. he was meeting with south african president zuma. he was on the ground in tripoli only six hours an left empty handled. even mow moammar qaddafi is saying he s ready to cut a deal, he s not ready to leave office. and zuma is not pushing him to leave office. he is trying to get a cease-fire. but he s not calling for qaddafi to leave. we may see later this week a
missouri. we ll keep you posted on where tornadoes are touching down and if anyone is injured. president obama vowing there will be no letup against moammar qaddafi in libya. the president refusing to set a deadline for the mission. the president and david cameron both agree on turning up the heat on libya. president obama addressed the issue of a time frame for the libyan mission. he said we have not put an artificial time line out. we ll achieve the mission in a timely fashion. that s vague. he s take something flack for having no end game from congress. but what else could he say? i think part of this is the continuing education of barack obama. implicit in his community a
