Even when armed forces of Gaddafi announced that they have decided on a ceasefire immediately.
And if the UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon calls for Tripoli "can deliver the goods", the United States do not believe it, "Gaddafi will not being respected. The operation goes on," says Tom Donilon, Adviser White House national security.

One hundred and ten missiles beginning of the operation, all affected targets, no indication of civilian casualties: the budget of the Pentagon, Admiral William Gortney it provides during the briefing in Washington.

Misurata But, the last stronghold insurgents of Tripoli is under attack all day. Then the army into the city and blocking the port. Gaddafi: "Long War, Italy traitor." As bombs fell on the country of the coalition, the Colonel did hear her voice. He compared the "enemies" to "Nazis", promising them "hell" of a "long war" that will ultimately be won by Libya against the Western "barbarians, terrorists, monsters, criminals, whose sole purpose is to "steal our oil." The Libyans, Saddam said, are arming themselves, "will be a war fought by people ready to die as martyrs." The attack on Libya "is a new crusade against Islam, but as you already defeated in Iraq, Somalia, Vietnam." So the warning to the coalition, "close yourselves in your bases" and "think again".
And then: "Italy has betrayed us, as did France, Britain and the United States. But Benghazi not allow the American flag, flying on British and French cities." The Arab League criticized the raid, but Qatar is the host. According to the secretary of the Arab League, Amr Mussa, the raids of the international coalition have gone beyond the goal of imposing a no-fly zones: "What we want is to protect civilians, not to bomb other," said Mussa, recalling that the resolution 1973 of the UN Security Council says the ban on any kind of "invasion and occupation": "The protection of civilians does not require military operations," he added.
Meanwhile, Qatar has decided to join the mission, the only Arab state to have taken place so far - with just four or six planes - the theater of war. "It 's necessary that the Arab countries will take part," said the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassem, indicating that Odyssey Dawn "is not against the Libyan people or against Gaddafi and his sons", but aims to "stop the bloodshed." Even the UAE should take part in the intervention, according to UN diplomats, although there is still no official statement.
Russia and China. Even critical military operation by Russia and China. Both abstained last Thursday, when the UN Security Council adopted resolution 1973. Today, Russia has demanded an end "non-selective use of force" in Libya, noting - in a statement the Foreign Office - that "under the air raids were launched attacks on targets in the non-military": "I'm forty-eight civilians were killed and there are over one hundred and fifty wounded - continues - we ask for this to stop the use of non-selective use of force." China has expressed "regret" for the bombings: "We hope that Libya can regain stability as soon as possible - according to a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs - and avoid further civilian casualties linked to the escalation of armed conflict." Take off tornadoes, Italy in action.
From late afternoon, in the bases and Sigonella in Sicily Birgi increased activity. Six Danish F-16s took off from the runways in the Syracuse area, the first from an Italian base. In the evening, just after the announcement of the cease-fire, tornado six Italians have risen in flight from Trapani airport: three of them are hunting Ecr, which is equipped for electronic warfare and thus able to neutralize enemy radar systems.
The aircraft returned to base after a few hours. Italy therefore comes into play while Foreign Minister Franco Frattini said that "we want to share problems, responsibilities, but also participate in the new Libya that Gaddafi will come after," and that "international pressure will induce a regime that now no one in the world considers as a legitimate interlocutor, to leave.
This is not the goal of the international mission, but it is certainly a political objective of diplomacy around the world. "
