U.S. command transfer operation in Libya

.- The attacks against Libya could decrease in coming days and the United States quickly transmitted to other control of the operation. "My feeling is that unless something unusual or unexpected, we see a decrease in seizure frequency "said General Carter Ham, who leads U.S. forces in the Libyan operation, told reporters in Washington.

The U.S. president, Barack Obama, said his country, whose air campaign have joined Britain, France, Canada and Italy, among others, planned to transfer the military leadership in the short term. Britain and France led the intervention orders. "We anticipate that this transition will take place in days, not a matter of weeks," Obama said at a news conference in Chile, where he is on an official visit.

Rebels began an uprising against Moammar Gadhafi last month have so far done little to capitalize on a two-day bombing stopped advancing government forces on their stronghold and said Benghazi against Libyan air defenses. The French Foreign Minister, Alain Juppe, said he expected them to overthrow Libyan Gadhafi: "When the regime collapse? It is quite possible that, given the weakness of the regime will break from within." Washington, worried about entering into another war after extensive campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan, has ruled out a specific action to overthrow Gadhafi.

British Prime Minister, David Cameron said that there were no plans to target against Gadhafi. "The UN resolution is limited in scope, provides no explicit legal authorization for an action to cause the removal of Qadhafi from power through military means "Cameron told parliament." We will help keep (the resolution) of the Security Council of the UN, which the Libyan people and their government will determine its fate, but our vision is clear, there is a decent future for Libya Colonel Gaddafi remained in power, "he added.

Libyan state television reported that several parts of the capital Tripoli on Monday had been under new attacks by what he called the "crusader enemy." Although a UN resolution authorized "all necessary measures" to protect civilians, Arab League chief Amr Moussa questioned the methods used, while the Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin compared the air campaign with a "medieval cross ".
