we understand that there is great significance in libya to the tribal system. we also understand that he has hired guns from other african countries. >> absolutely. he has basically mercenaries who have been hired and who have been the palace guard. the reporting from tripoli seem to me that there is an abandonment as you were discussing with michael singh. that they were beginning to abandon him and they will eventually fight for their own lives more likely than to be loyal to him if he is clearly on his way out. it will become easily apparent to every one that the rebels are now about to, not only are they in tripoli but if they are going neighborhood to neighborhood and finding local support, that perhaps it is only hours before they will have significant hold of the capital. this is a very big city and there are a lot of areas, and there could be door to door street to street fighting. so this is not necessarily going to happen overnight.
