Well, it looks like Gaddafi had a bad day. One of his oil tankers was seized and delivered to Benghazi. I read that gas is in short supply in Tripoli. This won’t help.

In addition, in the Nafusa Mountains to the south of Tripoli progress continues to be made with one or two more towns to be taken to open the road north to Tripoli. This one has an interesting video, which unfortunately I cannot hear, lacking speakers.

Someone looking for someone to blame, overheard this comment coming out of the rumor and fog:

Sparks started the fire from the bombs which fell, the fire consumed the land, the land started the famine, the famine started killing after the bombs fell, the killing started more sparks, (and then repeat as often as is necessary to created more fog and rumor). The fog and rumor said, We, the fog and rumor, are innocent.

Thanks for the update gleeaikin.

Good days, bad days, the colonel is not going anywhere. He has sufficient resources to keep him safe and sound for a long time to come. Eventually some one will pick him off, but the chaos will not end. I see only some real blood baths down the pike as the assorted factions make their way toward the capital.
From the first article. "It’s quite a coup for the rebels."
Who writes this stuff. Are they stupid. Idiots. The tanker docked in the port of Benghazi. The colonel's forces have no control of that port.
As for the lack of sound you experienced in the second URL. You didn't miss anything. Same old same old. The small forces they have assembled on that ridge really goes no where. They do not have sufficient armor and air power to attack the capital in order to take it over.
