Everyone knew Gaddafi's support in Tripoli was false. They were just putting on a show to avoid getting in trouble. Now that the rebels are there, resistance is melting away.

Snipers are still deadly. A good sniper could do massive damage to an offensive push.

almost a full 1000 Misuratan rebels managed to get into Tripoli, guided by NATO through the mine field without being detected by Gaddafi.
