Probably stating the obvious but I don't think the US will be leading the overthrow of Ghaddafi mainly because it doesn't want to alienate Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Jordan, which have been dealing with their own cries for revolution. I think there's some deals being made that would allow for NATO to interveen, but we will have to support the squashing of protests towards our major Arab allies in the region.
Ghaddafi is sitting on the lightest, sweetest oil available. The global economy will not allow him to stay in power much longer.

This is an epic no win situation... Libya is in the middle of a civil war and if there was no oil involved no one from the West would give a shit. Sad and all, but carpet bombing Libyan targets aren't going to resolve this in a million years.

Amazing to think that the trigger of all this was one guy in Tunisia setting himself on fire.

"It's over. We are coming tonight," he said. "You will come out from inside. Prepare yourselves from tonight. We will find you in your closets."
"We are coming tonight... we will have no mercy and no pity with them."

The U.N. Security Council on Thursday imposed a no-fly zone extending over all of Libya to try to halt Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's mounting attacks against rebel positions.
The resolution states that "all necessary means" can be used to enforce the no-fly zone. Flights to provide humanitarian aid, medicine or for evacuations are exempt.
The vote was 10 for, none against and five abstentions.
