First, it's clear that pro-government forces in Libya have plenty of fight left.
So, what's next?
For the Nobel Peace Prize Preznit Kumbaya, it's yet more mission creep, apparently.
That includes now using A-10 close-level attack planes on Gadhafi's ground artillery and urban defenses. (And getting the U.S. mainstream media to not immediately report advance discussion of this for "patriotic" reasons.)
That includes possibly arming rebels in spite of UN prohibition. (Guess that UN fig leaf is a selective one for liberal interventionists.) And, I left a semi-snarky comment for Juan Cole, asking him to address that within his defense of the Libya incursion.
It's also a problem the U.S. is considering arming the rebels despite still not knowing them well.
