Though NATO officials have repeatedly spurned talks of a peace deal in the past, French Defense Minister Gerard Longuet confirmed that his government is growing impatient with the war and has asked the rebels to seek peace with the Gadhafi regime.
France’s government has long been among the most belligerent of NATO’s member nations during the Libyan Civil War, and recently mocked Italian calls for a humanitarian ceasefire as a “sign of weakness.” The comments suggest a major shift.
The Gadhafi government has repeatedly expressed openness at African Union offers to negotiate a ceasefire and transition deal. Others have suggested that a partition is more likely than a reconciliation between East and West.
The US State Department appears to disagree with the French position, however, insisting that Gadhafi “cannot remain in power” and that the US will continue its participation in the ongoing war.
Sarkozi, Cameron and Obama needs to be impeached in their respective country for war illegal war and then to be handed over to ICC for further investigation for act against humanity.., or they all simply need to resign and then be prosecuted for war crime against humanity. But before anything they and China need to hand over the $53 billion dollars in cash to Libyan government.., close this falsified and inhuman acting war party called democratic party.., there is no democracy coming out of this party.., is owned by Goldman Sachs, Saudi Arabia, Arab Emirates and Chase bank.., it is them whom partying with the party catered and paid by people.
Obama pressuring France when he does not even have American people? Whats next? time will tell
“Above all, the European Union must start acting like a responsible force in world affairs, not a many-headed monster.”
The Financial Times published that on February 23, right as the civil war in Libya erupted. Unfortunately, Europe – along with America – has continued to act like a many-headed monster, particularly in Libya.
To begin with, the West failed to help countries like Libya develop their economies before the war began. In fact, the West promised to help Libya develop its economy after Libya agreed to abandon its nuclear program. But instead of doing that, the West seemed happy to support and encourage organizations intent on overthrowing the existing regime. In particular, Britain supported the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, a terrorist organization linked to Al Qaeda whose objective was to overthrow Gaddafi. In 1996, British intelligence even hired that organization to assassinate Gaddafi.
Britain has connections to several members of LIFG. The founder of LIFG, Norman Benotman, has lived in London since 1995. While living in London, he met members of Al Qaeda such as Abu Qatada and Mustafa Setmariam Nasar. Before moving to London, he lived in Sudan where he met with Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri.
Britain also has connections to another member of LIFG, Anas al-Liby. He also knew Osama bin Laden. Despite the fact that America believes he had a role in the 1998 African embassy bombings, Britain gave him political asylum and allowed him to live in Manchester until May of 2000.
Interestingly, Libya issued an arrest warrant for Osama bin Laden in March of 1998. At that time, British and American intelligence tried to conceal the origins of the arrest warrant and they minimized the danger of bin Laden. The fact that Britain provided sanctuary to two members of LIFG and the fact the Britain paid LIFG to assassinate Gaddafi suggests strongly that Britain controls the organization. And the fact that British and American intelligence tried to squash an arrest warrant for Osama bin Laden suggests they controlled him as well.

Sarkozy, you lost. Next…….
Libya is a complex tribal society and Gadhafi has real support.
I guess the U.S. wants to be in as bad of shape as the U.S. Misery loves company. Spend on military until your currency is worthless and the people are broke. Then call it stimulus and turn your money into toilet paper.
Sarkosky's life line is up to the French. Mr. Obama, helping to create the stupid war, is to be impeached. He has no sense of military economic and general direction of the country. He, along with the congress has been an utter waste for the past three (years); Congress? Utter waste for
the past 20 years.
It appears that Sarkozy wants to announce "victory" in Libya next Thursday, France's national holiday. Started as an electoral stunt (which failed!), the "guerre des cantonales" could easily blow up in Sarko's face if he doesn't end it soon. The advantage of the EU's "many-headed monster" is that it can be on all sides of every issue. Think of the disaster Libya would be if all the Member States were involved!
America was only suposed to play a supporting role now Odumba is saying he will continue the illegal war without help or thje American people behind him.Hes worse than Bush and I thought that would be imposable goes to show nothing is impossable.They tryed to impeach Cliton deserving as it was but Obama they do nothing when he has lied and broak every law you could think of and broak his election promises.
The bullheaded WarPig O-bomb-a is wrecking the US economy to finance his wrongheaded wars.
