A supposition is not really a prediction. Certainly, the UN has not been swift in this action, which is the primary reason this will soon be over.
The rebels acted quickly early on and gained a lot of ground while <insert cool spelling of Qaddafi here> weighed his options. Once he was certain he wasn't going to get capped internally and that he had enough loyalists to make it worth his while, he started his counter attack.
Unfortunately, the rebels have blown their load. They don't have the supplies in Benghazi to maintain their defense. They'll run out of ammunition. So, unless the UN goes all in with peacekeeping forces, Qaddafi forces with squash them within three days. And there is no possible way the UN will muster ground troops in three days.
This isn't the outcome that I want, but I believe it will be the outcome, nonetheless.
