Obama: U.S. Could Arm Libyan Rebels 
------------------------------------



As the Gaddafi regime's counteroffensive intensifies, rebel groups are
increasing calls for international military aid. Speaking to ABC News,
President Obama said he won't rule out a U.S. military shipment to the
rebels.

President Barack Obama: "I wouldn't speculate on that. I think that it's
fair to say that if we wanted to get weapons into Libya, we probably
could. We're looking at all our options at this point."
