The American's didn't really want to be seen as the lead "Crusader" in this operation and they haven't specifically gone after Gaddafi. If the French take charge, I think this turns into a regime change requirement.
It was also interesting to note that the CF-18's were sent on a bombing mission yesterday, and even through they had targets of opportunity they returned to base with their full bomb loads due to the overwhelming chance of civillian casualties. I heard the same thing happened with a British Typhoon as well.
Ghaddafi is trying to do the only thing he can, get his forces in among the civillians so that they can't be bombed from the air.
I would say that we're going to now see a long protracted mission if we're serious about protecting civillian lives.

Well the only ways that can be changed is either bombing with no regards towards civilian life or send in special forces and get him covertly
