it was close in fighting. we did not use the arrest power. and the the rebels went into retreat. if that conflict will continue, will they change their minds? guys, we re going to leave it there. i suspect with nato starting tomorrow in full command of the whole operation, the operation will be a lot less robust than if an american commander, general ham, for example, karcar ham, were strictly in charge of how aggressive the coalition that will be. that s another subject. we ll continue to watch it tomorrow. reporters witnessed in person a libyan woman s desperation and frustration after she says gadhafi s men raped her. imagine how her mother felt. she spoke with reza sayah. drifting into the other lane. [ kim ] i was literally falling asleep at the wheel. it got my attention, telling me that i wasn t paying attention. i had no idea the guy in front of me had stopped short.
but in gadhafi s case it s more complicated. the international criminal court is investigating him for crimes against humanity. his prosecutor says he s 100% certain he ll bring charges against gadhafi and his inner circle. a former ambassador to the uae served when gadhafi came to power and has met with him a few times in recent years. realistically would gadhafi take a deal? i am pretty certain based upon my personal reading of gadhafi that this is the last thing in the world he wants. he said he would not ever leave libya. he ll fight to the last bullet. i take him at his word. i think martyrdom is an attractive alternative to moammar gadhafi. but gadhafi could be prevailed upon by his family and others close to him to take a deal. or maybe he ll arrange for them
side of the rebels. it s a big, big question tonight, wolf. it looks like to me as an outside observer, gloria. the u.s., the british, the french. they ve already come down on the side of the rebels for all practical purposes. all the air power is designed to support the rebels. stop gadhafi s forces. send a message to gadhafi and his sons and others, it s over. give up. get out of there before you die. and isolate gadhafi and find a place for him to go. there s another question, wolf. which is we re not sure who the rebels are. what you saw in the secretary of state was somebody who was circumspect to a degree in trying to evaluate who the rebels are. whereas france may have embraced them. we have stopped short of that in terms of saying, look, we re trying to figure this out. it s a fluid situation. so obviously you don t want to
like this, only a lot better to keep track of the movements on the ground of gadhafi s troops and the rebel forces and the effectiveness of their rebel targeting. gl the setbacks for the rebels come just hours after president obama spoke to the american people about the libyan mission. just a while ago the president once again spoke out. this time at the dedication of a new building at the u.s. mission to the united nations. listen to this. today we see the nato alliance in command of the arms embargo, the no-fly zone, starting tomorrow, the mission to protect the libyan people. we see the united nations and many international organizations providing the assistance that s needed to people who have been harmed by gadhafi over the last several weeks. today in london we re seeing more than 30 nations, and the libyan opposition come together
