richard engel, nbc news, benghazi. >> we know the cia is on the ground in libya. they're helping to target gadhafi's forces and making contact with a largely unknown rebel leadership. jamie smith is a former cia officer who served in the middle east and also the founder and owner of scg international, a private security firm. thanks for joining us. our chief foreign correspondent richard engel was with a rebel group yesterday. he was telling me the rebels could hold up for months, even years without arms. so are arms needed at this moment to turn the tides? >> well, i would respectfully disagree that. you've got to have the munitions in order to provide defense, and gadhafi definitely has the munitions. he has the armor and the small arms to come in and take this back. we've seen this over the last couple of weeks where there's a pattern, where the rebel forces will come in. they will gain some ground. but because they're a somewhat disorganized group with a lack of training, they cannot hold the ground they take. and then gadhafi comes in and takes it back. we see this back and forth, back and forth. unless they are better armed and better trained in carrying out these action
