Bossi Berlusconi disappoints: "Our bases are crucial to operations in Libya"

Until this morning seemed to be no doubt. The government seemed willing to be involved in the hunt for Italian raid against Libya. He had said yesterday, Foreign Minister Franco Frattini: "Can the use of our aircraft to hit radar stations and anti-aircraft sites. He had confirmed on Tuesday the Minister of Defense Ignazio La Russa: "We can not be the role of a landlord, who provides the basics, give the keys of your own home.

Our role is to be a moderate, but crucial and decisive. " But after the Paris summit on the crisis Libyan Silvio Berlusconi announced that Italy for the time available to its bases for military intervention. " Nothing means and men, then. For the moment do not need. "We said to be ready to intervene directly in military operations in Libya - said the prime minister - but I do not think there will be special needs in this regard because as you know it must first be put in place compliance with the no-fly zones and so I think that means France, England and other countries are sufficient.

Anyway, it seems to me that the foundations are already a major interest and I would say indispensable. " A contribution "indispensable" that the prime minister hoped to convince the coalition of the willing to choose the NATO base in Naples as a center for the direction of military intervention.

"I suggested that there is coordination of all operations through NATO, and in particular I spoke with Secretary of State, Mrs. Clinton and British Prime Minister, David Cameron, who expressed their appreciation for this proposal - Berlusconi said - I believe it will be the NATO base in Naples to be the headquarters for coordinating the operations.

" The risks of potential retaliation Gaddafi, Knight said he was calm, certain that "no Libyan missile could reach the Italian territory." From the top of Paris's role was released in part reduced to those that had been expressed by the Ministers Frattini and Russia. Perhaps they have weighed the divisions within the majority, the League has held a distinct position.

Yesterday, deputies and senators of the Northern League did not take part in the vote in the House and Senate committees on the resolution of the government, to highlight their opposition to military intervention in the country of Gaddafi. "We are close to the position of Germany," he said yesterday senatùr.

"The League's position is a position that also resides in the personal care Mr Bossi, Berlusconi said today, explaining that for Italy, a non-interventionist position was not possible" as the basis of which we have are crucial " . Determinants for a war against a country with which Italy is bound by a treaty of friendship which has never been canceled.

Contradiction Frattini played down yesterday by saying that the pact "is now pending in law: the entry into force of UN resolution 1973 none of the obligation can be met. I'm talking about the suspension of law because we want to Italy, with the new Libya that Gaddafi will come next, is ready to continue with the leading position we have ever had.

" But remember that without the treaty in Article 3, paragraph 2, states: "Italy will not use or permeterà the use of its territory in any hostile action against Libya."
