Western leaders reject a future Libya led by GadhafiBy the CNN Wire Staff

By the CNN Wire Staff STORY HIGHLIGHTS "Gadhafi must go, and go for good," leaders of U.S., U.K. and France say After Gadhafi's exit, U.N. countries will help Libya rebuild, the op-ed says Despite international help, Libyans alone will choose their next leaders, op-ed says (CNN) -- In a joint opinion piece to be published Friday, the leaders of the United States, Britain and France lay out in stark terms their contention that Libya's future must not include its leader, Moammar Gadhafi. "It is unthinkable that someone who has tried to massacre his own people can play a part in their future government," said the article, titled "Libya's Pathway to Peace," by U.S. President Barack Obama, British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy. "It would be an unconscionable betrayal." The article, which is slated to appear in the International Herald Tribune, Le Figaro, and Times of London, was sent to reporters by the White House. Because Gadhafi has lost the consent of his people, "any deal that leaves him in power would lead to further chaos and lawlessness," it says. "We know from bitter experience what that would mean. Neither Europe, the region, or the world can afford a new safe haven for extremists." The leaders called for an end to violence and for the regime's forces to pull back from the embattled cities of Ajdabiya, Misurata and Zintan, which have been besieged by Libyan government forces. Barack Obama "However, so long as Gadhafi is in power, NATO must maintain its operations so that civilians remain protected and the pressure on the regime builds," they wrote. "Then a genuine transition from dictatorship to an inclusive constitutional process can really begin, led by a new generation of leaders. In order for that transition to succeed, Gadhafi must go and go for good." Clinton: Terms for Gadhafi "non-negotiable" At that point, they added, "the United Nations and its members should help the Libyan people as they rebuild where Gadhafi has destroyed -- to repair homes and hospitals, to restore basic utilities, and to assist Libyans as they develop the institutions to underpin a prosperous and open society." The decision about who will replace the current Libyan leaders will be left up to the Libyans themselves, they said. Blogger comment: Fight to win and not to stumble or stale. Make it last ultimatum to Qaddafi and if not to stop down and surrender have massive air attacks in Qaddafi warn the Libyan people to stay away from any of Qaddafi palaces or the Libyan military places and assets. Have bombing close to Qaddafi and make people around him see him fearful and confused. Time to get Qaddafi out before you see Jihadist coming in Libya to fight Qaddafi. Financially they have a lot of money to recruit young people for Jihad.
