Qaddafi's troops halt rebel advance

http://english.aljazeera.net/news/am...454514581.html

Qaddafi's troops are lingering on and holding positions ... Qaddafi's Air Force is neutered.

Qaddafi has made this his final stand. Guess he hasn't read the tale of "Custer's last stand."

However, these "rebels" lack clarity in political position as well as cohesive military strategy. Best hopes lie in Libyan government military defection to the rebel's side. So, keep bombing Qaddafi to a shit heap and the military will change sides most likely. The alternative is a massive government slaughter ...

That is preferable? Yea! Qaddafi wins and there are thousands slaughtered?

"We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe."
