Bernard-Henri Lévy: Engulfed in Libya? You said stalemate?

The anti-Gaddafi is also "stuck" we want to believe and say that those who, like Claude Lanzmann, find the time long and turn coat? I think, for my part, no. And hear testimony, here, back from another trip to Benghazi, the reasons that make me hope. And then, farther east, the camp Abouatni, where they form special forces: climbing, skydiving simulator, endurance tests, body to body.

"How long are you there?, I asked to Abdeslam Nasser, who came to Australia where he was selling mobile phones - 21février the very beginning. - You fought? - Not yet. - Why? - because training lasts four weeks and ... "The officer, who approached and is the only one to wear the uniform, continued:" ...

and the next rodeo on the highway to Tripoli, is finished - here we built an army brave, powerful and capable, when the time comes to take over your air strikes. " And I clearly saw that there was a first phase: one in which each country had control of his aircraft and where, between when Younes and his deputy, Brigadier General Abdeslam Alhas, gave the position of a gun and shooting which neutralized, it took barely an hour.

Then a second phase began with the transfer of command to NATO: the average time is 7 hours - all the time it takes for the "target" to move or even disappear or blend in among civilians . And then a third, who will start these days and part of which will very soon feel its effects: simplification, the Libyan side, chain warning that involved far too many relays, and admission in the control room, a French liaison officer, and English - with more than reluctant - Italian.

We are following the "blunder" which bombed the single column of tanks and insurgent who should, in fact, be the subject of an investigation conducted by the CNT. "Someday we'll know everything I said, knowingly, General Alhas. But for now, save time: Sarkozy and the others take over the levers and we never will suffer such a disaster." That, more or less what is happening.

And this is another reason for optimism. Bernard-Henri Levy, philosopher, member of the Supervisory Board of Le Monde Goupe Article published in the edition of 19.04.11
