49. U.S. General: "West must be prepared for drawn-out impasse or Gaddafi military victory"
From AJE Libya Live Blog - March 10:

10:42pm < (3:42 PM EST) >

James Clapper, the US director of national intelligence, told today's Senate Armed Services Committee hearing that the west must be prepared for a drawn-out impasse - or a Gaddafi military victory.

Because of its superior weapons and logistical capabilities, "I think over time, over the longer term, that the regime will prevail," he said, adding that Gaddafi has military units - equipped with tanks and artillery - that have the ability to maintain and replenish their weapons and ammunition.
