We ll only do humanitarian aid. is this a bluff or a tool? you would think that gadhafi would have a three pronged strategy, number one he would want to take out the opposition. by bribes, by threats against his family, threats abroad, by any means could he do. number two, he would be trying to strengthen his own forces by bringing more mercenaries and supplies in from the south and number three he would be buying time with diplomacy. i think we have to have a multipronged strategy. he s not going to succeed in destroying the opposition. i don t think he s going to be able to break through the increasing isolation. so if you re the general and you re the commanding general of nato and you say, you know what, this is a bluff, but the first proposal is not acceptable, let s see if we can get a better second proposal. ....
Artillery rounds came were coming in. this actually happened three separate times in about the space of half an hour. we and hundreds of opposition fighters pulled way back to get out of range of that artillery. but in the afternoon, what we saw is that, rather than artillery coming from the cat daffy forces, it was the opposition that was firing fairly intense rocket barrage in the direction of brega. i spoke to a commander of the opposition forces who said they had taken over new brega, a residential area next to the town of brega and they expected to move into the town within the next 24 hours. i think we re beginning to see the effects of two weeks of air strikes in the no-fly zone. it s now very difficult for the gadhafi royal forces to be resupplied. it does appear that they may be running low on food and ....

Clark says, he fortifies himself in various ways and then breaks his pledge. that i would think would be totally unacceptable. general clark, take a walk with me over here. i want to show the state of play as this happens, we have a political initiative from the gadhafi family, we don t know whether we can trust it or not. here s what libya looked like last week. you see the stripes here, this is the opposition. the opposition is doing pretty good. here s the state of play now, you can see the regime has taken back here. so militarily the last 72 hours, 100 hours have gone in gadhafi s favor, yet we do sense some cracks in the regime. when you see this from a militant standpoint, why does this matter? i think it does matter, because i think the gadhafi family does understand the end is inevitable in this. the coalition is powerful enough, got enough people, got enough support, they re not going to get stronger over time, ....
