Tripoli (Writing / Agencies) - The leaders of Britain, France and the United States pledged to keep its military campaign in Libya Muammar Gaddafi until he left office and the rebels said government forces attacked the town of Misrata with missiles, Reuters reports. In an article published on both sides of the Atlantic for The Times (UK), The International Herald Tribune, The Washington Post (USA), Le Figaro and Le Monde (France) and Al Hayat (Arabic World) and written by British Prime Minister, David Cameron, the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy and U.S.
President Barack Obama, they said let Qaddafi in power would be a "betrayal unacceptable," the Libyan people. "It is unthinkable that anyone who has tried to slaughter his own people to play a role in their future government," wrote the leaders. While Gadhafi is in power, NATO and coalition partners should keep their operations so that civilians continue to protect and increase pressure on the regime, "he said." Then a genuine transition from dictatorship to an inclusive constitutional process may actually begin, led by a new generation of leaders.
To make this transition successful, Colonel Gaddafi must go, and go forever, "he added. The reaction from the side of Gaddafi arrived quickly, and daughter Aisha Libyan leader told a rally in Tripoli in a family compound bombed by U.S. in 1986, to demand the departure of his father was an insult to the Libyan people .
"Asking that Gadhafi quit is an insult to all Libyans because is Gaddafi in Libya, but in the hearts of all Libyans," he said in a speech broadcast live on television in the country to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the attacks Americans against the complex. The article written by Western leaders appeared at a time when diplomatic efforts have failed to resolve the divisions among NATO allies over how intensely should conduct the air campaign three weeks.
For its part, the situation on the ground has shown signs of stagnation. Washington, who led the campaign in its first week, then took over from NATO and assumed a secondary role. United Kingdom and France complain that other NATO allies have not provided enough firepower to remove the armored force Gadhafi and allow the rebels who control eastern country to overthrow him.
Libyan rebels pleaded on Thursday for NATO to launch more aerial attacks, saying they face a slaughter by government artillery fire on the besieged city of Misrata. Warplanes later NATO launched attacks on Tripoli. Libyan state television showed driving Muammar Gaddafi in the city, while, according to the station, the bombing occurred.

"MEDIEVAL SITE" Rebels in Misrata, the third largest city in Libya, said that 23 people, mostly women and children, were killed when a series of Russian Grad rockets were fired into a residential area.
"More than 200 Grad rockets fell in the port area, including residential neighborhoods near the port. They attacked this area because the port is the only window to the outside world Misrata," said a rebel spokesman who used the name of Ghassan phone. "The destruction here was huge. I was there and saw for myself," he said, adding that the port is closed.
In his article, said Western leaders Misrata is "supporting a medieval siege while Gaddafi is strangling the population into submission." International organizations have warned of a humanitarian crisis in Misrata, the isolated insurgent stronghold in western Libya, where hundreds of civilians have died in a siege of the troops of Gaddafi over six weeks.
