I don't know about any direct military intervention. The situation in the Middle East is very anti-western and any direct aid might strengthen Gadhafi's hand and stop the current momentum that the peaceful demonstrations across the middle east.
Also doing weapons drops will just lead to a bloodbath and more open fighting. Not sure if thats what's necessary to get rid of Gadhafi at this point.
