@joshuafoust Unless you think he'll settle for safe passage for himself and his gold, in which case fine, save lives, let him go.
@joshuafoust For it to be realistic you need a scenario where Gadaffi holds what he's got without contravening UNSC resolution. How?
@joshuafoust The thought? I can think about it, but when I do, I just don't see how it's realistic if you mean it literally: cease fire.
@joshuafoust ...only possible ceasefire for him one allows killing in areas he controls, leaves US NATO looking very bad if they stand by.
@joshuafoust Um, repeated mass murder &c. of protesters in Tripoli? If ceasefire really means no more killing Gadaffi's finished. So...
@joshuafoust Only ceasefire Gadafi would want is one allowing repression to continue in areas he controls, so contrary to UNSC resoluton.
