National Intelligence Director James Clapper said Gadhafi's advantage in military force makes him likely to survive the revolt.
Clapper told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the rebels are "in for a tough row" against Gadhafi, who still commands warplanes, an air-defense network and loyal army brigades against the opposition forces. He cautioned that the situation is "very fluid," but added, "I think, longer term, the regime will prevail."
"I do believe Gadhafi is in this for the long haul," Clapper said. "I don't think he has any intention, despite some of the press speculation to the contrary, of leaving. From all evidence that we have -- which I'd be prepared to discuss in closed session -- he appears to be hunkering down for the duration."
The comment led to a call for Clapper's firing by a member of the committee, South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham. In a statement issued after the hearing, Graham said the remarks were "not helpful to our national security interests."
But Clapper's assessment was backed up by Lt. Gen. Ronald Burgess, the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency. Burgess told senators that Gadhafi "seems to have staying power, unless some other dynamic changes at this time."
И тут еще отдельные энутзиасты, почитай поголовно с уклоном правым... или республиканским , (непонятно как его назвать, чтоб не, но поянтно же про что речь), толпой-хором расссказывают, что в Ливии орудует ЦРУ науськанное Обамой... или наоборот?... Обама, науськанный ЦРУ? Никогда не мог толком понять конспирологов.
