U.S. President Barack Obama, has expressed confidence Tuesday that the U.S. may transfer control of the military operation in Libya in an international coalition in a matter of days. Amid the divisions among the allies over who will control the military operation, Obama said Tuesday that the command is expected to be "clear" in the coming days, without giving details.
"I have no doubt [that will soon reach an agreement]," the president said from El Salvador, where he gave a joint press conference with President of El Salvador, Mauricio Funes. U.S. President said, "soon" United States could declare that it has achieved the goal of no-fly zone. Obama said during Tuesday "and" had noted a "significant reduction of flights by U.S.
planes on Libya." Hours before the White House had said "through a close associate of the president, who had convinced France who has to take command of the operation against Qaddafi: NATO. Now I have to convince NATO. As explained by Ben Rhodes, a senior aide on security issues of Barak Obama, the U.S.
president spoke with his French and British counterparts on this issue and believe that NATO should play a key role in maintaining the no-fly zone . Rhodes has assured reporters that Obama had telephoned from his plane, the 'Air Force One', the French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister, David Cameron.
"What we're saying now is that NATO will have a key role to play here," says Rhodes. The three have agreed that "NATO should play a key role in the command structure in the future" because of its "unique capabilities of command and control." Moreover, the allies are trying to determine what the structure will take over the operation in Libya when the U.S.
transferred the command "within days, not weeks." Rhodes explained, the coalition will include countries that are not part of NATO, so NATO will be "part of a command structure that is internationalized when the U.S. transferred" control. This announcement marks a change of opinion in France, just hours before, had proposed establishing a "political leadership" of the military operation on Libya and meetings attended by all participating states and the Arab League, said the French Foreign Minister, Alain Juppe.
The first meeting was held "in the coming days in Brussels and London, the minister said in an appearance before the French National Assembly, where he insisted that the operation excludes the deployment of troops on Libyan territory. The political committee would be an alternative to NATO's military command who are claiming the United Kingdom and Italy and is the best choice for U.S.
and wants to start reducing their role in Operation Dawn Odyssey. " Turkey's concern about efforts to impose an air exclusion zone over Libya, have been widely repeated, explained a senior U.S. official. However, asked whether Turkey was now fully on board with the objectives of the coalition, the U.S.
official has said: "I think the Turks have been largely resolved the questions they had before."
