US President Barack Obama ordered Colonel Muammar Gaddafi today to implement a ceasefire immediately and stop all attacks on Libyan civilians or face military action from the United States and its allies in Europe and the Arab world.
In one of the most forceful statements he has issued from the White House, Obama said that his demands were not negotiable: Gaddafi had to pull his forces back from major cities in Libya or the United States and its allies would stop him. Obama said that he was forced to act because Gaddafi had turned on his own people and had shown “no mercy on his own citizens”.
Obama said that with the passage on Thursday night of a United Nations Security Council resolution authorizing military action against Gaddafi to protect Libyan civilians, the US would not act alone, and in fact that France, Britain and Arab nations would take the lead
