With the French taking the lead on the Libyan situation and America's reluctance to get involved it seems that France is the rebels best hope for help. The French have a full fleet carrier so could conduct a no fly zone and have the military capability to take out key zones. I dont see anyone else able to help them TBH, and it looks like they will be defeated if they cant get help.

Are the French the only hope for Libyan rebels?

The French are only guarding the Med border really and forcing a no fly zone. Have a look at the countries bordering Libya through which Gaddafi could have arms smuggled:
Sudan, Chad, Niger, Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt.
Consider Gaddafi sent a rep to Egyot earlier this week and things begin to stink of weapon smuggling and this is pointing towards Yugoslavia 20 years ago. Just substitute Slobodan Milosevic for Gaddafi and compare the two:

NATO are weak in situations like this, Europe needs to take a lead on this America imo wont do anything anytime soon.

Why do you think the SAS dropped into the East side last week and got overpowered by the rebels in a tiny town?
They were trying to support them but the rebs are STILL demanding no foreign intervention.
I think a no fly zone and a blockade should be in place. Thats all.

The rebels seem to be changing there tune recently probably because they are now getting a beating.
