NATOs Libya campaign drags on
( Washington Post ) - As NATO bombs began to rain on Libya in March, President Obama and other Western leaders assured their war-weary publics that the campaign to protect civilians from Muammar Al Qathafis crackdown would be over within weeks.
Now the coalitions springtime incursion has stretched to summer, and Al Qathafis resilience has startled the leaders who committed to the operation. Calls are growing to end it even as NATO pleads for more time.
As the campaign enters its fourth month, NATO officials insist that it is succeeding and that Al Qathafi will become the Arab Springs third casualty. But that will happen, they say, only in a slow and steady advance on the capital as his troops run out of supplies, not in a flash of pyrotechnics that puts him out of power in an instant.
The noose is tightening around him, and theres very few places for him to go, Gen. Charles Bouchard, the Canadian head of the operations, said Saturday in an interview at his Naples headquarters. But, he added, You dont stay in power for 41 years and expect that hes going to leave at the first sign of stresses.
Indications of a fraying commitment to the mission were evident in a House vote Friday in which an unusual coalition of anti-war Democrats and tea party Republicans joined to pass a measure to reject Obamas use of the American military in the operation, even as they declined to strip part of its funding.
In Britain, a top commander said last week that if the campaign goes on past September, his forces could crack under the strain. On Wednesday, Italys foreign minister called for an immediate end to hostilities.
NATO has flown more than 4,700 strike sorties, pummelling bunkers, depots and vehicles and reducing much of Al Qathafis army to ruins. It watches his military movements with drones that can remain in the sky for days.
Still, Al Qathafi holds on, continuing to cause casualties in the rebel-held city of Misurata, in the mountain towns south of Tripoli and along the front line in the east.
Bouchard said NATOs extreme caution about civilian deaths - in one case scuttling days of planning because a soccer game was being played next to a target - has slowed the campaign.
