Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi has appealed to new President Barack Obama to end the military campaign against his forces, the White House confirmed today. The order, however, was dismissed by presidential spokesman Jay Carney, who said the letter shows the disconnect that Gadhafi has maintained during this time between words and deeds.
'The theme of the ceasefire, as the president made clear when he announced his decision (to order the bombing) weeks ago summarized action, not words, "said Carney told reporters. Speaking aboard Air Force One en route to Pennsylvania, the presidential spokesman said that his government is unclear what Gahdafi have to do before they talk about the possibility of a cessation of action.
At the time, sued Obama Gadhafi to the offensive against rebel forces, the army out of the cities it has occupied and to stop the crackdown against his opponents. Carney confirmed the existence of the new letter. 'But obviously not the first' he said without elaborate details.
