Kadhadi: appel à une position plus radicale de l'administration Obama

Ce journaliste du Washington post n'est pas le seul à penser ainsi...

!Gaddafi seems to have calculated that the longer he can drag out the conflict -- and demonstrate that he still commands the capital city and a potent, if diminished, military force -- the more likely it becomes that he can find some way to survive.

That's where Obama and other world leaders come in. The immediate aim should be to separate Gaddafi from as much of his military strength as possible.

On Wednesday, in his first extended remarks on the crisis, Obama warned that "the Libyan government has a responsibility to refrain from violence." Those words, while correct, were far too weak. Obama should state plainly that we no longer consider Gaddafi's regime to be the legitimate government of Libya and that the dictator must immediately step down.

This will not have the slightest impact on Gaddafi, of course. But the message isn't for the Mad Colonel, it's for the military officers -- the pilots of his warplanes and commanders of his warships -- who must decide whether to follow his orders. They need to be told, in no uncertain terms, that if they side with Gaddafi they will suffer the consequences."
