Air force gone, and tanks gone. It's just a countdown now until he's hanging from a lamp post. Trying to find a way out...
Gaddafi's entourage sends out secret peace feelers
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Members of Muammar Gaddafi's entourage are putting out feelers to seek a ceasefire or safe passage from Libya, according to U.S. and European officials and a businessman close to the Libyan leadership.
Messages seeking some kind of peaceful end to U.N.-backed military action or a safe exit for members of Gaddafi's entourage have been sent via intermediaries in Austria, Britain and France, said Roger Tamraz, a Middle Eastern businessman with long experience conducting deals with the Libyan regime.
Tamraz said Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, Muammar's eldest son, and Abdullah Senoussi, the Libyan leader's brother-in-law, were the most prominent Gaddafi entourage members involved in seeking ways to end the fighting.
A U.S. national security official, who asked for anonymity when discussing sensitive information, said that U.S. government agencies were aware that Saif al-Islam and Senoussi had been involved in making peace overtures.

Then what? What about the power vacuum left behind?

Heard about this 3 days ago. Come back when he actually leaves.
And countdown until he leaves? Have you seen the rebels lately? There was a good article written today about how badly they've fallen apart and how many "rebels" have since headed back home to protect their families. No organization, no leadership, no capability.

NBC was detailing what is happening. Rebels have two fronts in each city. outside front closing in, and those in the streets. libyan armies are strong today but have no supply lines and get killed when they try to retreat thanks to our air power. They're just waiting to die, unless they desert.
IMO, Obama is just letting the rats kill each other while we wait for the kadaffi exit.

So while NBC says the rebels have Gadhafi trapped, the rest of the world says they're still getting rolled and, for the most part, falling apart at the seams. I think it was ABC that had a nice clip of their reporter talking to a guy in the middle of a bombing. Said rebel was carrying a plastic toy gun.
Think I'll go with the news sources that aren't pushing the Arab revolutions as some sign from God that democracy is rolling across the region.
