Early on it looked like an easy win for those loyal to Gaddafi. They simply out numbered and out gunned the rebels.
The government forces pushed back the rebels almost all the way back to Benghazi when a very impotant even occurred. The United Nations Security Council voted to authorize military action. This brought many countries to send warplanes and missiles in such large masses that they have not seen since the Iraq war.
The bombing caused Gaddafi's sons to make a deal stating that he would step down. The rebels would not take the deal that was offered.
While this was going on the war was raging and both sides were being pushed back and then moving forward. Then in May the rebels then made a big move and this caused a statement to be made by Gaddafi. He said that he would continue to fight.
No matter what he said he was slowly losing more of those that were loyal to him in Tripoli.
While all this was happening in Libya some of the countries that were helping them out. One that was having a conflict about the help that they were giving was the United States
Congress was fighting President Obama on him breaking the Wars Power Resolution. They wanted him to pull out all of our help because he had not gotten approval from congress.
Despite the possible set back the United States continues to help with the rebels and have even recognized the TNC as the authoritative government in Libya.
