"... It has now morphed …into something about which we know very little..."

"I would argue the case for American intervention has now diminished," said former U.S. Middle East peace negotiator Aaron David Miller Monday. "The context within which Libya is now unfolding has fundamentally altered. It is no longer remotely the Egyptian-Tunisian [peaceful protesters] context. It has now morphed …into a civil conflict between two armed camps about which we know very little. ... This is now a grind, a civil conflict."..... 

"There are a lot of different things one could do, some of which are relatively cheap and easy," said former Defense Intelligence Agency Middle East analyst Jeffrey White, now with the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. "We (THE PRO-ISRAEL COUCH GENERALS!) could provide the rebels ... with tactical intelligence about these movement of [pro-Gadhafi] forces," (sealing the fate of the noble Libyan revolt) White said.  "We could … probably provide them with air warning, okay a couple planes took off from Tripoli. ..... we could provide air defense for Benghazi, which is a relatively much smaller area and simpler problem. … We're not talking about the Luftwaffe or Soviet air force.".........Some Libya experts predicted that behind the scenes of pro- and anti-Muammar Gadhafi forces battling for territory, some sort of negotiations are likely to get underway. "The Libyans are great dealmakers," a former U.S. official who has worked on Libya said Monday on condition of anonymity. "They put you up against the wall until your nose is smashed" -- then make a deal. Recall when Gadhafi negotiated behind the scenes with British MI6 and the CIA to give up his weapons of mass destruction program in exchange for the international community not pushing for regime change in 2003, the former U.S. official said. Intermediaries such as former British Prime Minister Tony Blair who has reportedly developed strong ties with Gadhafi since leaving office, are well placed to "sense when Gadhafi is ready to make a deal. The [Gadhafi] boys will cut a deal. Free passage, a little bit of money, no [International Criminal Court] prosecution, they will cut a deal."..."
