dlish---i saw that information a few times since i put that post up earlier this morning, but decided to just leave it as it wasn't the only factor at play that prompted people in benghazi who were talking to the press to wonder what was going on.
at this point, it's pretty clear that things are going to ramp up quickly in the sense of air strikes and naval blockade. i don't really have a sense of whether the people opposed to gafhafi are in a position to act militarily in the wake of these air strikes---assuming that they do as advertised. this seems one of the giant open questions at the moment, the what then? matter.
