James B. Steinberg: “Qadhafi had lost the legitimacy to lead, and he had to go to allow the Libyan people to reclaim their own future.”

I think the most significant feature is the quite strong consensus in the international community to not look for half-measures, not to look for ways to let him stay or try to begin to cut back on our basic demands for what needs to happen.

I think, going on to your broader question, part of the reason we've done this as an international coalition is that we don't have the full burden and responsibility for this.

The international community is increasingly united around a shared insistence that Qadhafi must go.

Qadhafi, his family and his regime have lost all legitimacy. They must go so that the Libyan people can determine their own future.
