The UN resolution authorizing an attack to stop the offensive of Gaddafi has begun the countdown to materialize a military operation in the North African country. The situation on the ground, the rebels rounded up in Benghazi, requires a rapid response from the international community. United States, which has military supremacy in the Mediterranean, with the United Kingdom and France, precursors of the resolution provides for the use of force, pre-rush hours in the search for support among the largest possible number of countries, focus on Libya's Arab neighbors.
Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, said today the resolution adopted by the Security Council to enforce the UN no-fly unazona on Libya is just one more step and the international community will continue to evaluate other "measures." "We will continue working with our partners in the international community to put pressure on Gadhafi to leave and to support the legitimate aspirations of the Libyan people," he assured Clinton.
The attack is expected imminently, to judge by the declarations of the French Government spokesman, Francois Baroin, who said that "will come very quickly," possibly "in a matter of hours." This afternoon, the British prime minister, David Cameron, announced in the Commons the deployment of combat aircraft to be moved "in the coming hours" to close bases in Libya (possibly in Italy) and from there to participate in "actions necessary, "said the British premier.
United Kingdom, which since the beginning of the conflict showed his readiness for a possible military intervention in the country, "deploy Tornado and Eurofighter aircraft and tanker and surveillance aircraft." Cameron will come this Saturday for a summit in Paris with French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Arab leaders that will address the military response to the crisis in Libya.
The British leader has insisted that intervention in Libya in any case it's "occupation." Meanwhile, NATO's North Atlantic Council is meeting at its headquarters in Brussels to discuss "the implications" for the Alliance which is the UN resolution and "advance planning for all eventualities." Carmen Romero, spokeswoman for the Alliance, told the EFE news agency that the military planning "continues to accelerate," despite the immediate ceasefire declared by the Gaddafi regime.
The organization said to be "prepared to act" in an "international effort" if the conditions of your participation is essential, has a legal mandate and strong regional support. In recent weeks, NATO has said repeatedly he would not participate directly in the attack, but did provide logistical support to the intervention to be involved in the same countries of the Alliance.
France has announced this morning that will help the development of the military operation without specifying which contribute to military deployment. Hours later, after meeting the Libyan foreign minister's announcement of declaring a unilateral ceasefire "to protect the population", the Sarkozy government has been very cautious and said that "the situation on the tereno has not changed." Italy has rejected the possibility that its aircraft involved in operations, although it does allow the allies to use their military bases in the south, several Italian media reported, citing "qualified sources." Sigonella base, located on the island of Sicily and is now part of the logistics, the U.S.
Sixth Fleet, is one of those closer to Libya, it could be very useful. A decision that would miss the friendship treaty with Tripoli, signed in 2008 and remains in force, and which prohibits Rome lease its bases for an attack against the regime of Gaddafi. Spain contributes to the operational F-18 The Spanish Air Force, meanwhile, could deploy between four and six F-18 fighter jets, with 150 effective in Italian bases within 48 to 72 hours after the relevant government order, according to military sources, reported Miguel Gonzalez.
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Latin American, Juan Antonio Yanez-Barnuevo, said this morning that although they have met the "basic requirements" for the eventual participation of Spanish, "now the government will have to discuss" (presumably in the Council Ministers) and "in any case would come to Parliament to require the backing of political forces in case there was need for it."

Qatar supports the operation's key in any case, Arab support for this intervention. Washington, which maintains the deployment of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, not to open a new outbreak of war alone. And the best possible company would be the Arab nations, to ward off any accusations of interference by the West in the Islamic world.
The first to join the war effort was Qatar, which announced this morning that it supported the UN initiative to protect civilians in Libya, but has not made clear if that means taking part in military operations. The Qatari news agency, citing an "official source", announced the decision of Arab countries to "participate in international efforts to curb the bloodshed and protect civilians in Libya." Tunisia, meanwhile, has assured that "does not arise" participate in any international military intervention.
Hours later, the Arab League has welcomed the UN resolution and has clarified that this does not justify any invasion of Libya but only seeks to help its people. The secretary general of the League, Amr Moussa, said that the hypothetical participation of Arab nations in the imposition of the exclusion zone will be discussed bilaterally, and the Arab League in its resolution of support for this measure does not specify the steps to take for each State.
"The goal is to protect civilians in the first place, not to invade or occupy. The resolution is quite clear on that," he said. "We do not want any party to go very far," he added. Canada also being sent to the area six CF-18 aircraft in order to participate in the establishment of the no-fly zone, according to local media have announced several Canadians.
These sources said that six planes prepare CF-18 fighter base in Bagotville, in the city of Saguenay, Quebec, to be sent to Libya after the government of Canadian Prime Minister Harper Step, give the green light , expected today. Norway has confirmed that it would intervene militarily in Libya, according to Defence Minister Grete Faremo.

Given the imminence of the attack, Eurocontrol, the agency that controls security and air traffic in Europe, has suspended all flight plans on Libya except those authorized by the Security Council resolution, as the humanitarian.
Germany stands apart The only discordant note in the Security Council has put Germany, which has been positioned on the side of restraint because it believes that the new resolution involves "dangers and risks we thought." "The Germanic troops will not take part in a military operation in Libya," he has said this evening the German Foreign Minister, Guido Westerwelle.
A radically different view of Ban Ki-moon, UN secretary general, who has called the resolution "historic" and is committed to working with all Member States to pursue it. "Given the critical situation on the ground, I expect immediate action in regard to the provisions of the resolution," he said.
The U.S. ambassador to the UN has declared that his country is "very satisfied" with the outcome of the vote. "This decision should send a strong message to Colonel Qaddafi and his regime that the violence must stop, the killing must stop and the Libyan people must be protected and have the opportunity to express themselves freely," Susan Rice has been reported.
The ambassador did not specify what measures it is willing to take their government. In contrast, several influential senators on Thursday attended a meeting at the White House ahead is imminent that the United States take action, as reported by the U.S. website Politico. Besides air patrols over the Libyan soil, lawmakers suggested the possibility of imposing a "territorial exclusion zone" to prohibit the movement of ground forces loyal to Qadhafi.
The support of the EU The EU High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy, Catherine Ashton, and European Council President, Herman Van Rompuy, have also supported the resolution. "We fully support the UN demand for a definitive end to all violence and attacks and abuses against civilians and the search for a solution to the crisis," he expressed.
As has been the secretary general of the UN, both leaders have stressed the "important role" of the Arab League, which last weekend called for prohibiting any flights on sky-Libyan and Arab partners of the EU. "Their cooperation is essential and their role is clearly recognized by the resolution," they added.
Finally, Ashton and Van Rompuy have pointed out that the EU is ready "to implement this resolution within the framework of its mandate and competence." China seriously doubt China's abstention in the vote has been motivated by "serious doubts" on the fly ban on Libyan sky. But the country, meeting the demands of Arab and African countries, has refused to block the measure with its negative, as a permanent member with voting rights could.
The Foreign Ministry spokesman in the country, Jiang Yu, said in a statement posted on its website that have been more the demands of Arab and other governments, as well as its intention not to confront the United States, angered by Qaddafi's outbursts continued into the demands of the international community to stop the violent crackdown on the rebels.
