Libya Rebels Reject Cease-Fire That Doesn’t Oust Qadhafi
With the U.S. saying Qadhafi cannot stay and the rebels continuing to fight, is Qadhafi in fact on his way out? Rebels refusing to quit and in fact rejecting the cease-fire will keep the U.S. strong in this position. However, if this goes too long and we start hearing anything from the U.S. administration and State Department resembling wiggle room on the “must go” position, we can looking to NATO and its inability to sustain support for the rebels. We are now at a significant point in this situation. With Reuters reporting today that Qadhafi forces are bombing rebel positions in Ajdabiya, the deal is still a long way off. Look for the U.S. to push for a quick exit deal for Qadhafi now or risk losing the upper hand…again.
