barbara starr is hearing tonight from her sources of preparations for perhaps a final last stand by the libyan dictator. barbara, when you talk about a last stand, what are your sources telling you? well, they say that there is some indications they believe an assessment, if you will, that kad could be preparing for a last stand that it possibly would of course be in tripoli, his last major strong hold where he has some capability. what they don t know is what would this last stand look like. they re looking at the notion it could be scud missile launches, it could be an all-out military assault on on libyan civilians. they do not know. but that is the major concern at this hour. no firm indications that gadhafi yet is ready to pack up and go, in a maybe he plans one last effort before he finally decides. so it thif that is the worry there any sense that the united states would encourage its nato allies to give him a shove before he can lash out? you bet. the question i
organization has done a lot of great work. i hope it gets repealed. this is why we re going to be doing a town hall in ohio in the coming days. thanks for your time tonight, great work. remember to answer tonight s question at the bottom of the screen, we want to know what you think. john boehner continues to ask, where are the jobs and does nothing to create them, the president prepares to release his plan to get americans back to work. and the republican presidential candidates attack president obama on jobs, but their answer is just a cut more of them. cut their way into a profit. and next, i ll talk about the president s jobs plan, senator bernie sanders of vermont is with us tonight and former dnc chairman terry mcauliffe weighs in on the strategy. and you see this. it s the end of the road. the last hurrah. it s when ford s powertrain warranty ends. but in this ram truck, you ve still got 39,999 miles to go.
