Rebels running after government warplanes attack
The U.S. ambassador to the U.N. raised the possibility of "going beyond a no-fly zone," Wednesday Ambassador Susan Rice said a "range of actions" were up for serious discussion, including but not limited to a no-fly zone, which has "inherent limitations in terms of protection of civilians." She said she hopes to see a resolution as early as Thursday. French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe is on his way to New York to lobby the Security Council in person to approve a resolution against Libya. France is a co-sponsor of the measure, along with the United Kingdom and Lebanon. In recent day's, France has been leading the charge for military action in Libya, while the United States has been reluctant to act. The U.S has made it clear that they would not authorize military action with U.N. approval. Moammar Gadhafi's forces are fighting their way east toward the rebel capital of Benghazi and may siege the city at any time. Without outside help, it is becoming increasing clear that government forces will succeed in crushing the rebellion.
