Libyan officials have directed phone calls to a number of NATO member nations urging a ceasefire in a ongoing NATO war. The call was immediately spurned by the US, who said the offer was “not credible” and vowed the war would continue.
White House deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said the US was absolutely opposed to the ceasefire because the Gadhafi-led government is “not complying with UN demands.” It is so far unclear if other NATO member nations may be more open to the idea.
Libyan Prime Minister Baghdadi Ali Mahmoudi insisted that the offer was sincere and that Libya is “serious about a ceasefire.” He said the offer was to be based on an African Union road map for peace in the nation, which Libyan officials endorsed previously.
Mustafa Jalil, the head of the East Libyan rebel government, said that his faction is open to “any initiative which starts with the departure of Gadhafi.” The rebel government previously rejected the African Union ceasefire.
White House deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said the US was absolutely opposed to the ceasefire because, ready? There's Libyans to kill and by god, you can't have a half decent "humanitarian intervention" when there's still Libyans to kill.
So how would one spell Rhodes? I d i o t!
Of course the White House will spurn this offer.
Anything that limits civilians being killed by NATO bombings or by their so called proxy rebels MUST be ignored in the noble cause of securing Libya's oil for the greedy Western Nations.
The first point of the resolution 1973 of the UN Security Council is to demand "the immediate establishment of a cease-fire and a complete end to violence and all attacks against, and abuses of, civilians"
It is the rebels and their supporters who are violating the resolution by refusing to consider a cease-fire.
oh great, what a relief! And here I though the warmongers would have gotten tired of killing by now
We are supporting all the demands of the Al Queda puppet government in oil rich east Libya, isn't that sweet? Never mind our own U.S. Constitution or War Powers act.
Sigh!
The warmongers will never get tired of killing it's as natural as eating to them.They told another bold face lie about the fact that the war was to protect civilians.I would bet more civilians have died already then if they would have not involved there selfs.We no the last thing they care about is the civiliand just look at Afganistan,Iraq,Pakistasn, and now Lybia not to mention war past.They are there fgor oil and another base to surrond the world.ALL well they play the good most humanitarian government in the world when at one time the US was a good country but they care about nothing but money and power since at least WW2.Not only the people that die well the wars are going on will suffer and die young but for the next 4 billion years the bombs droped with depleted uranium wil;l afect kids not even born yet.Anyone that belives they are there for the sake of the people need to educate themselfs about the military industrial complex witch hopes to enslave the planet.Witch began long ago 90 persent of the worlds weath is in 1 persent of the population with the other 99 get the scrapes.Don't ever belive the current goverments care more for people than money and power or you are very much the fool.
Another relatively prosperous Moslem nation destroyed by American / NATO bombs and manufactured civil war.
i don't get it…did they not care that Libya was the most developed nation in all of Africa?
Why commit this barbarity!?
Asking the US to end a war is like asking the Mexican cartels to stop smuggling and killing. It's their main business.
