I hope I'm wrong but there's going to be a slaughter tonight.

Once those tanks get in among the civilians they're screwed.
His ragtag army isn't going to be able to just waltz into Benghazi without opposition. Benghazi and Tobruk are said to be the two most highly fortified bastions of rebel control. They are big cities, and the rebels aren't armed with rocks and sticks. It will not be easy for Gaddafi, especially with morale swinging back to the rebel's side (which seems to be a big factor in this).
