#1 "NO-FLY ZONE" > IOW, the US-Allies expect Muammar to fight + hold on to power for a while to come.

Unlike SADDAM, I doubt Muammar will want to be be found hiding + unkept in an underground hole on US, Worldwide TV.

#2 I agree Joe, more of the Tony Montana type.

In fact, had to odd thought last night Quedaffy may have made threats to use gas etc. on rebels if there is any interference, essentially holding the rebels hostage, and the news cycle.

And of course Libya, being a rather large place, It may be difficult to provide a total CAP from Malta without Air Refueling and/or Carrier?
