The United States called the Arab League's support for a no-fly zone over Libya an “important step,” but they better act fast if they want to affect the outcome. The ragtag and increasingly disorganized rebels have retreated from Brega amid heavy shelling, fleeing in pick-up trucks to the town of Ajbadiya. With the taking of Brega, the rebels lose an important source of fuel, and Gaddafi's forces are a step closer to the rebel headquarters in Benghazi. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is on her way to the region, where she'll spend two days in Egypt and Tunisia and meet with representatives of the Libyan rebellion.
