NATO facing military stalemate in Libya

It seems that NATO's "humanitarian mission" is not doing so well in Libya. And, I have been puzzled as to why I've seen almost no mainstream media coverage of events in Libya for some time. Now, foreign coverage is limited to Syria. I'm sure people who follow this blog can figure that out.
In a revealing comment, Hague defended the NATO bombing campaign, saying it had saved “many thousands of lives and stopped the destabilisation of Egypt and Tunisia.” Saving civilian lives is the pretext used to justify NATO’s illegal war on Libya. The reference to Egypt and Tunisia, however, confirms that, along with securing control of Libya’s oil, the US and NATO are intent on establishing a beachhead against the revolutionary uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa.
