Gadhafi did indeed accept the terms of a cease-fire yesterday, but that plan was rejected by the opposition. The opposition told the African Union that they were willing to consider any other plans, but only if they lead to Gadhafi leaving power.
There is a military stalemate in Libya currently. Rebels control Ajdabiya, but the government forces control the important oil center of Brega. Neither side can advance much further.
Each side has its advantages and disadvantages. While the government has superior arms, training, commanders, and numbers, their supply lines are extremely vulnerable to NATO air-strikes. US commanders are wary that outside extremist forces could take advantage of a stalemate situation to sew even greater chaos.
