Tomahawks are cruise missiles and not ballistic missiles. This means that their flight path is not predictable which makes them very hard to detect and defeat. The target sites and times on target could be sent to Qadhafi days in advance and it's not likely that Libya would be able to destroy the missiles before they hit their targets.
