Qaddafi needs to destroy rebel strongholds and makes sure they are defeated. Without western troops on the ground, it would be difficult for them to make any gains. The west is hoping that rebel forces can make the gains themselves. But this then becomes like the Bay of Pigs where the rebels lack the military power and the resolve to do any of this. They will get crushed whenever they get confronted by real Libyan soldiers. Its not simply that the rebels lack armor. Support is low, and so is training.
But the west still wont win.
