Background

Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's days are numbered as rebel forces make steady gains on the battlefield, and opposition leaders must work together to prepare for power, a senior U.S. official said on Saturday.

"It is clear that the situation is moving against Gaddafi," U.S. assistant Secretary of State Jeffrey Feltman told a news conference after meeting Libyan rebel leaders at their headquarters in Libya's eastern city of Benghazi.

"The opposition continues to make substantial gains on the ground while his forces grow weaker," Feltman said. "It is time for Gaddafi to go and we firmly believe that his days are numbered."

RE "timing of this question": @hfl, if timing wrong, setup a new question "with proper timing".. No offense..I just think it is not easy, until after the fact, to know what the "timing" should be... So, if you have a crystal ball, let us have a better timed question....

Maybe let the intelligence forces and the rebels know too, so they stop wasting their time fruitlessly...

Libya: Gaddafi's forces rally after call to rid Tripoli of 'traitors'
Muammar Gaddafi's forces staged a fightback across Libya just hours after he urged them to rise up and rid the country of "devils and traitors".

You got the timing wrong - Ghaddafi will be underground for years like OBL.

It was not clear if the renewed fighting was linked to the surprise reappearance of Seif al-Islam el-Qaddafi, whose capture the rebels had trumpeted since Sunday but who walked as a free man to the Rixos Hotel early Tuesday. He boasted to foreign journalists there that his father was safe in Tripoli, his government was still “in control” and that the rebels had been lured into a trap, the BBC and news services reported. The episode raised significant questions about the credibility of rebel leaders, who had claimed to be holding him prisoner.

“There are still some pockets of resistance,” the French foreign minister, Alain Juppé, said in a radio interview in Paris, but he said he believed “the fall of Qaddafi is close.” Along with the United States and Britain, France has played a central role in the diplomatic and military campaigns to oust Colonel Qaddafi and Mr. Juppé said those efforts still needed time “to get to the end of this operation.”
