Italian Air Force from April 28 to formally join NATO’s air strikes on Libya . Although since March 31, to take full control of Libya from the United States military operation since the initiative, NATO has always been to maintain the “high tempo action”, has sent more than 1,500 aircraft sorties bombing mission, but analysts pointed out that the continuing war in Libya are increasingly showing signs of a long-term, and the reasons for this trend is NATO’s “strategic hesitation.”
Italian fighters to join the ranks of air
4 28, the Italian government had a change does not directly participate in military action against Libya’s position, the first Air Force aircraft degree of Libyan military targets hit. 25th of this month, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi on the phone with U.S. President Barack Obama announced this decision.
this month, the British Government has called on NATO member states for military strikes against Libya, “contribute more”, but the Italian government has responded by saying that too many NATO troops into the war continued to upgrade the size of Libya will result in greater casualties, which triggered the political consequences “disastrous.” However, Berlusconi 25, suddenly changed his mind, that for “the protection of civilians” consideration, Libya, Italy to participate in NATO air strikes action.
Berlusconi’s decision to immediately by the United States, Britain and France welcome, but Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has warned that the Western world openly anti-government forces stand the Libyan side will directly lead to “dangerous results “- the Middle East and more anti-government forces in the different countries will rise up against the government as long as they identify a foreign country will help them overthrow the government. Lavrov warned: “This happens, then not only have more chaos in the Middle East, the United States and Europe in the interests of the region also did not benefit.”
Gaddafi a “morale is still”
in the new round of air strikes, two missiles hit the Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi barracks in the office of 黎波里阿齐齐亚floor, was found directly outside the “decapitation” suspect. U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the 27 also rare, if they find the Libyan army command post, the “all legitimate targets.” Accordingly, analysts interpreted that the U.S. has to “decapitate” Gaddafi as its strategic goals. 27, Britain, France and other European countries, Libya has also organized a meeting of 64 tribal elders, publicly called Gaddafi to step down.
the face of increasing pressure, Gaddafi did not mean compromise. Libyan government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim Zia barracks in Aceh after the bombing, said Gaddafi’s hiding place is safe now, and that “morale is still high.” Gaddafi himself flatly denied the possibility of anti-government forces in the negotiations, saying they “are all terrorists.”
Gaddafi’s son Saif has also accused the West of decapitation operations “very weak.” He said: “NATO is a group of agents, traitors and spies are filled, but there are tens of thousands of supporters of Gaddafi NATO has failed in this war, history will eventually prove that no one country can by NATO to win. “
Gaddafi’s daughter Aisha told” The New York Times’ exclusive interview revealed that she now every night to her three children about life and death problem. Aisha said: “I have to let them be prepared, because it is war, you do not know what a rocket or a bomb would fall on our heads, it means that everything will end.”
in the Iraq war, Asha was fully defended by the former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein Guardian, one of Saddam’s defense lawyers. She said: “Even the Iraqi opposition had told the West that you come to Iraq it, people will meet you holding a rose, however, 10 years later, the Americans suffered in Iraq is still bullets and bombs. Believe me, Libya will only be more terrible than Iraq. “
British” Guardian “on April 28 revealed that as the war continued, the Libyan government has begun a large-scale distribution to the civilian AK-47 assault rifles, 17 years of age and agree to have armed citizens can. Government-controlled town in Libya Si Biya, 17-year-old girl Ai Bisi said she also came here to study, “defending the homeland” skills. She said: “If there is no Gaddafi, we are nothing, so I am not afraid.” Zola 35-year-old female instructor said that she is training women to participate in the task of defending the motherland proud.
NATO to extend the war to find new leader
Although NATO’s military action against Libya have been carried out six weeks, but so far no see decisive and firm strategic initiatives. Most military analysts believe that NATO is now helpless, the outbreak of war in Libya that a clear military objective has now ceased to exist, the next step to do is a test of NATO.
France Francis Sea En Boge strategic analyst, said: “From the military sense, the current situation with the outbreak of war is no different. Gaddafi control of the land, like the outbreak of war, and thus He is unlikely to take the initiative to step down. “
British Royal Military Academy strategists Josie is worried about the Libyan army’s tactical adjustments faster than the West imagined, while still deep in NATO” strategic hesitation. ” The fundamental reason is that NATO needs for quite some time “screening” of Libya’s future leaders.
well-known think tank “Center for European Reform,” the expert Vladimir Mosaic Thomas said: “The official position of NATO, and I do not want to immediately clear the meaning of Gaddafi, because British law did not so far Gaddafi after the Libyan leader to find the right person. easy to overthrow a government, a new national leadership is difficult, in Afghanistan and Iraq are so, so satisfied with the candidates identified before the NATO deliberately keep Gaddafi, which is in the fight time. “
EU Foreign Affairs Committee, said Nick Whitney, U.S. and British law openly announced Libya’s regime to change is to the strong pressure exerted himself,” This goal is not to rely on bombing can be done, many countries sent military advisers to the east of Libya is also clear that they now realize that to be successful not so fast. ”
war, a direct consequence of the long-term will result in huge civilian casualties in Libya. Although the former U.S. ambassador in Libya Ke Leizi hearing in the U.S. State Department admitted that Libya is still not known the exact number of civilian casualties, but it should be between 10,000 to 3 million people. Ke Leizi admitted: “The war lasted longer, civilian casualties will be more.”
